Clarity系统在前列腺癌体外放射治疗中的研究进展

Research progress on Clarity system in external beam radiation therapy of prostate cancer

体外放射治疗(EBRT)是前列腺癌的主要治疗手段之一,而在图像引导下实施EBRT更切合精准放疗策略。Clarity系统作为一种新型图像引导技术,已在临床实践中应用于前列腺癌EBRT的实时跟踪,在提升EBRT靶向精准性的同时,也显著降低了传统EBRT的不良反应。本文就Clarity系统在前列腺癌EBRT中的应用及其存在的问题进行系统阐述。

External beam radiation therapy(EBRT)is one of the main treatments for prostate cancer,and image-guided implementation of EBRT is more suitable for accurate radiotherapy.As a new type of image-guided technology,the Clarity system has been applied in the real-time tracking during EBRT for prostate cancer in clinical practice.While improving the accuracy of EBRT targeting,it also significantly reduces the side effects of traditional EBRT.In this article,the application of Clarity system in EBRT of prostate cancer and its existing problems were systematically elucidated.
