Résumé

La radiothérapie vit une véritable révolution technologique depuis les années 1990, grâce notamment aux progrès de l’imagerie, à l’optimisation de la distribution de la dose délivrée au volume à irradier, par l’utilisation de la radiothérapie conformationnelle par modulation d’intensité (RCMI) ou par la diffusion de la radiothérapie stéréotaxique (RST), avec pour objectif l’augmentation du taux de guérison et l’amélioration de la tolérance des traitements. Après une présentation rapide des nouvelles technologies en radiothérapie, nous nous intéresserons à leur impact psychologique sur les patients mais également sur les soignants.

Abstract

Radiotherapy oncology is a field that has rapidly advanced over the last three decades, thanks to the breakthrough of the diagnostic imaging, to the development of new radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and the stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with an enhanced ability to optimize the dose distribution. These technological advances aimed to increase survival rates and to improve tolerance of treatments. After a brief presentation of new technologies in radiotherapy, we focus on their psychological impact not only on patients but also on caregivers.
