Abstract

Objective: Our aim was to compare helical tomotherapy (HT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) considering the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy.
