Discovery of X ray1895• German Physics Professor
Wilhem Conrad Roentgen discovered X ray when he noticed that only the bones of his hand was shown on the fluorescent screen placed at the path of a beam produced by the Crooke’s tube
1901• Get the Nobel Prize

The beginning of Radiotherapy
1904• Thomas Edison’s assistant died of
repeated exposure to x rays causing severe burns with several amputations
• Noticed the harmful effects of x rays and marks the beginning of the potential use of x rays in radiotherapy

Development of Radiotherapy Machines
Early half of twentieth century
• Orthovoltage machines • low energy (200-300kv) x-rays
machines for treatment of cancer
• Low penetration• High toxicities

Development of Radiotherapy Machines
1951-The first high energy Cobalt 60 machines
• gamma rays, high energy.
• Deep penetration• Allows more widely
use of x rays in treatment of cancers

Development of Radiotherapy Machines
1970’s• Development of Linear
accelerators • accelerate electrons,
then slow them down through their collision with a metal target, causing high energy x-rays to be released
• Marks the beginning of technological development of teletherapy and widely use of external beam irradiation in treatment of cancers

• Focal injury Necrosis (related to the high dose region)– Optic neuropathy– Pituitary dysfunction
• Neuropsychologic/cognitive (related to the whole brain dose)– Volume, fraction, size dose, age

How to decrease late toxicities
• Focal injury (Better Conformity to decrease volume and dose to critical organs)
• Neuropsychologic/cognitive (Increase conformity and number of beams to decrease volume of high dose zone)

Potential Benefits of IMRT
1 Deliver treatments with better dose conformity and coverage to the target,hence reducing the probability of in-field recurrence.
2 Better sparing and protection of normal tissue, hence minimise the degree of morbidity associated with treatment.
3 Facilitating the escalation of dose to improve local control.

Conclusion
• The rapid technological advancement brings radiotherapy to a new era
• Development of radiotherapy from two dimensional to three dimensional conformal radiotherapy achieve high conformity of radiation to the target with sparing of surrounding normal tissue and allow dose escalation with improvement in tumor control

Conclusion• Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)
further improves the conformity of radiation especially for the irregular targets, allows the delivery of differential doses within the target according to the tumor characteristics and dose limitations of critical organs
• The development of these highly conformed radiotherapy further facilitated by the development of imaged guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with or without respiratory gating and assures accurate setup, decrease margins and decrease volume of irradiation

Conclusion
• Treatment of cancers require multidisciplinary management. Good coordination among the different disciplines and careful selection of patient will allow provision of best services to our patients.
