Pulsed low-dose rate radiotherapy has an improved therapeutic effect on abdominal and pelvic malignancies
Abstract: Until now, there has been a lack of standard and effective treatments for patients with recurrent malignant tumors or abdominal and pelvic malignancies with extensive invasion (Morris, 2000). Generally, these patients face problems such as inability to undergo surgery or chemotherapy resistance (Combs et al., 2016). Re-radiotherapy has achieved a prominent place in the treatment of patients who have received radiotherapy previously and developed in-field recurrences (Straube et al., 2018). However, re-radiotherapy is very complicated, requiring comprehensive consideration of appropriate radiation dose, interval from first radiotherapy, boundary of the radiotherapy target area, and damage to surrounding normal tissues (Straube et al., 2019). In other words, it is necessary to focus on the protection of surrounding normal tissues while maximizing the efficacy of re-radiotherapy in such patients.
