title: Retroperitoneal tumour radiotherapy: clinical improvements using kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography.
abstract: We present a clinical case of a patient diagnosed with a retroperitoneal sarcoma, which received preoperative treatment with daily verification via computed tomography obtained with kilovoltage cone beam. We compare the benefit of this treatment compared to other conventional treatment without image guiding, reporting quantitative results.
