Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of fixed dose rate volumetric modulation in pelvic radiotherapy after rectal cancer surgery. Methods Ten patients with rectal cancer radiotherapy were enrolled in this study. The Ray Station planning system was used to establish a variable dose rate volumetric modulation( VDR-VMAT),a fixed dose rate volume modulation( CDR-VMAT),and a 5-field static intensity modulated radiation therapy( 5 F-s IMRT) plans for each patient. Dose volume histograms were used to evaluate ...
