Abstract

Radiotherapy is one of the therapeutic weapons against one of the most common cancers in humans worldwide which is prostate cancer. The use of the two radiotherapy treatment techniques for this disease which are 3D-CRT and VMAT®, leads to the identification of the most optimal technique, in terms of irradiation of the tumor by sparing the healthy tissue. This comparison is established on dosimetric data by comparing the results achieved by a planning system while taking into account the validation of each treatment plan according to criteria already validated by international commissions and well defined in literature.
