Teknik Radioterapi 3DCRT pada Kasus Kanker Lidah Instalasi Radioterapi Rumah Sakit Pusat Kanker Nasional

Abstract

Background: One of the radiotherapy techniques is 3 Dimensional Conformal Radioteraphy (3DCRT). In the radiotherapy installation at the Kanker Dharmais Hospital, some tongue cancer use the 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) technique. The purpose of this study was to analyze the 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) technique in the radiotherapy installation of the Kanker Dharmais Hospital.

Methods: This type of research is descriptive qualitative with one primary sample on tongue cancer using CT Simulator GE Optima and Linac CX-SN4556, Varian, energy 6MV with the 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) Technique. Use  The way of collecting data is by observasing, interviewing, and documenting. This research was conducted at the radiotherapy installation at the Kanker Dharmais Hospital.

Results: The 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) technique procedure in the radiotherapy installation of the Kanker Dharmais Hospital which was carried out including the patient preparation procedure, the CT Simulation process in the CT Simulator, the radiation planning process in the Treatment Planning System (TPS) room, the radiation verification process using Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) and finally the irradiation process with Linac.

Conclusions: The reasearch summary can provide information, insight and become reference material for readers, especially students, about how 3 dimentional conformal radiotherapy (3dcrt) radiotherapy techniques in case of tongue cancer in radiotherapy installations of the national cancer center hospital
