My supervising doctors here are both 25-year veteran radiation oncologists, one trained at University of Iowa and the other at Cincinnati. Both claim that during training, they heard the following to be anecdotal truth, but I have yet to find another radonc who has ever heard of this, or anything in print to back this up. PLEASE ask around and if you find corroboration let me know!
Supposedly, if you are treating fields which include some or all of the stomach, using a rep rate of 200 MU/min or slower will prevent radiation induced nausea.
It makes no sense to me that delivering 200 cGy in 60 seconds versus 30 seconds makes any difference whatsoever. Thanks for the help!
