1. Is the irradiation of the abdominal area using con-
formal radiotherapy superior compared to con-
ventional radiotherapy in pancreatic tumors?
Radiation entry into different angles shows better re-
sults (Alternative
B
).
2. Is the irradiation of the abdominal area using con-
formal radiotherapy superior compared to con-
ventional radiotherapy in sarcomas?
There is better dose distribution in both children and
adults (Alternative
C
).
3. Is there less toxicity in the use of conformal radi-
otherapy compared to conventional radiothera-
py for abdominal tumors in pancreatic cancer?
There is less toxicity with conformal radiotherapy
(Alternative
A
).
4. Is there less toxicity in the use of conformal radi-
otherapy compared to conventional radiothera-
py for abdominal tumors in sarcomas?
Toxicity in the conventional technique can lead to
the need for hospital intervention (Alternative
D
).
5. Is there a difference in the effectiveness of con-
formal and conventional radiotherapy?
In stomach tumors relapse-free survival is higher in
the conformal technique (Alternative
A
).
