The rates of these events, requiring the device to be removed and other radiotherapy treatment options to be considered, are largely unreported.
Figure 1 illustrates the dramatic reduction in the times patients were waiting for radiotherapy treatment.
Eleven patients in this series received conventionally fractionated postoperative radiotherapy, five days a week, with no planned interruptions.
Most radiotherapy departments only repeated measurements where the initial reading was outside a set tolerance level.
This perhaps gives some indication of the importance of post radiotherapy support mechanisms.
In cases of microscopic residual disease surgery was followed by radiotherapy.
The radiotherapy service relies heavily on therapy radiographers,3 whose primary role is the treatment of cancer using radiotherapy.
