| pubmed:abstractText |
Paraspinal tumours, such as chordoma, represent a treatment challenge for oncologists, requiring high dose to the target volume without exceeding the tolerance dose of the spinal cord. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is helpful in achieving sharp dose gradients and conformation of dose to the target volume. We present a simpler technique--conformal rotation therapy with a central axis beam block (CRT + BB), which can provide similar dose distributions.
