Introdução: Este trabalho tem como principal objectivo comparar os efeitos secundários agudos da Radioterapia por Intensidade Modulada (IMRT) e a Radioterapia Tridimensional Conformada (3 D-CRT) no carcinoma de Próstata;
Materiais e métodos: Foram observados os processos clínicos de 30 doentes e analisados os efeitos colaterais da RT ocorridos no decurso do tratamento.
Resultados: A percentagem de toxicidade aguda dermatológica foi superior no grupo tratado com 3D-CRT. Nenhum doente apresentou toxicidade aguda grave.
Conclusões: O tamanho reduzido da amostra e a ausência de valores estatisticamente significativos, não permite concluir a influência da técnica de RT no desenvolvimento de efeitos secundários agudos.
Introduction: This study has as main objective to compare the acute side effects for Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Tridimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in prostate cancer; Materials and methods: We observed the clinical files of 30 patients and analyzed the side effects of RT occurred in the course of treatment. Results: The percentage of acute dermatological toxicity was higher in the group treated with 3D-CRT. No patient showed severe acute toxicity. Conclusions: The small sample size and lack of statistically significant values, does not suggest the influence of RT on the development of acute side effects.
