Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows greater dose conformity to the tumor target. However, IMRT, especially static delivery, usually requires more time to deliver a dose fraction than conventional external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). The authors have been using a "two-axis dynamic arc therapy" (2A-DAT) technique for prostate cancer treatment to make a concave dose distribution to spare the rectum and bladder while working with limited time and human resources. The objectives of this study were to (1) clinically implement the 2A-DAT technique, (2) evaluate the dosimetry in comparison with IMRT, and (3) analyze the initial treatment outcome.
