Dosimetric Comparison of Hypofractionated Multi-Beam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy With Flattened Beam and Flattening-Filter-Free Beam for Skull Base Meningioma Adjacent to Optic Pathways

Background Since the optic pathways are the most vulnerable to radiation, the treatment of skull base tumors involving them is challenging. In this study simulation plans by multi-beam (MB) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), both with the flatte...
