Conclusion
Considering the results achieved, it was possible to reflect on the perception of the comfort manifested by the patients, in view of the positioning and immobilization system used during the treatments, being that most patients, as in other studies, indicated comfortable in their position of treatment, with stability. Regarding the reproducibility index evaluated in this study, small deviations of positioning were observed in all movement axes, with no significant therapeutic importance, and that both systematic deviations and random deviations measured indicated that the treatments were reproducibly reproducible.
It was concluded, as the primary objective of this investigation, that there is no dependence relationship between the comfort expressed by the patient and the reproducibility of their treatment, so the immobilization and positioning systems stipulated for the treatment of pelvic tumors allow reproducibility without compromising the comfort of the patient in each treatment session.
