Lattice Radiotherapy with RapidArc for Treatment of Gynecological Tumors: Dosimetric and Early Clinical Evaluations

Background: We report the case of a patient with an advanced carcinoma of the cervix treated using the new concept of LATTICE Radiotherapy (LRT). We describe the dose distribution, planning and delivery of treatment as well as the clinical evaluation of the patient during and at the completion of treatment. The basic principle of LATTICE is to create, within the tumor volume, multiple localized high-dose islands with a certain degree of separation to form lower dose regions.
