Results of carbon ion radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of carbon ion radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer in a phase II clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between April 1997 and February 2006, 236 patients with locally advanced, histologically proven, and new or recurrent cancer of the head and neck were treated with carbon ions. The treatment dose was 64.0 GyE/16 fractions/4 weeks (or 57.6 GyE/16 fractions/4 ...
متن کاملA Review of Update Clinical Results of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy
Among various types of ion species, carbon ions are considered to have the most balanced, optimal properties in terms of possessing physically and biologically effective dose localization in the body. This is due to the fact that when compared with photon beams, carbon ion beams offer improved dose distribution, leading to the concentration of the sufficient dose within a target volume while mi...
متن کاملMolecular imaging in radiotherapy planning for head and neck tumors.
Molecular imaging uses noninvasive techniques to visualize various biologic pathways and physiologic characteristics of tumors and normal tissues. In relation to radiation therapy, PET with the tracer (18)F-FDG offers a unique opportunity to refine the target volume delineation in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, in turn affecting dose distribution and, it is hoped, p...
متن کاملOtotoxicity after radiotherapy for head and neck tumors.
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence of radiation-induced ototoxicity according to the total dose delivered to specific parts of the auditory system, fractionation, and chemotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Records of 325 patients treated for primary extracranial head and neck tumors with curative intent who received radiotherapy between 1964 and 2000 (median follow-up, 5.4 years) were retrospe...
متن کاملHead and Neck Tumors: Management of Primary Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma
Introduction: Sarcomas account for 1% of all tumors originated in the head and neck regions in adults. They constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin with multiple histological variants. The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) subtype is the most frequent variant with an incidence range of 2.7-38%. Materials and Methods: This retrospective...
