Helical Tomotherapy – Innovative Bestrahlungstechnik bei inoperablen Lokalrezidiven eines Mammakarzinoms
Helical Tomotherapy – Innovative Radiotherapy Technique for Inoperable Local Recurrences of Breast CancerPublication History

Zusammenfassung
Die Bestrahlung mittels helikaler Tomotherapie erlaubt es, sehr ausgedehnte, beliebig große und irregulär geformte Zielvolumina bei guter Schonung der umliegenden Normalgewebe zu behandeln. Für Patientinnen mit ausgedehnten inoperablen und chemotherapeutisch nicht zu beherrschenden Lokalrezidiven eines Mammakarzinoms bietet diese moderne Bestrahlungstechnik die Möglichkeit, gute palliative Effekte bei geringer Nebenwirkungsrate zu erreichen. Zusätzlich kann bei systemisch progredienter Erkrankung eine bereits begonnene Chemotherapie ohne erhöhtes Nebenwirkungsrisiko weitergeführt werden.
Abstract
Helical tomotherapy affords to irradiate very large and irregular shaped target volumes with optimal protection of the surrounding normal tissue. This innovative technique facilitates treating patients with inoperable and chemotherapeutically uncontrollable local recurrence of breast cancer with good palliative results and low to moderate acute toxicity. Additionally it is possible to continue chemotherapy in order to control progressive systemic disease without increasing acute toxicity.
