A Dosimetric Comparison of Primary Chemoradiation Versus Postoperative Radiation for Locally Advanced Oropharyngeal Cancer
Introduction Advanced-stage oropharyngeal cancer can be treated with primary chemoradiation (CRT) or primary surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy, both with similar survival outcomes. Though primary CRT prescribes a higher dose, adjuvant radiation requires irradiating the surgical bed, which may increase the high dose planned target volume (PTV). We hypothesize that the integral dose to the neck ...
متن کاملDysphagia severity and aspiration following postoperative radiation for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer.
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to assess dysphagia severity following postoperative radiation for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighteen patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma had undergone postoperative radiation. There were eight base of tongue, eight tonsils, and two soft palate carcinomas.

متن کاملBilateral Blindness Following Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Oropharyngeal Carcinoma
Wernicke's encephalopathy is a life-threatening neurologic complication of thiamine deficiency. Though the presentation of symptoms can vary widely, the classical triad is founded on ophthalmoplegia, alteration of mental status, and gait disturbance. We describe a case of Wernicke's encephalopathy in an oncology patient shortly after concurrent 5-fluorouracil, carboplatin, and radiotherapy for ...
متن کاملPreoperative chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal cancer: comparison of three radiation dose and fractionation schedules
PURPOSE The standard radiation dose for patients with locally rectal cancer treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy is 45-50 Gy in 25-28 fractions. We aimed to assess whether a difference exists within this dose fractionation range. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed to compare three dose fractionation schedules. Patients received 50 Gy in 25 fractions (group A),...
متن کاملA dosimetric comparison of two-phase adaptive intensity-modulated radiotherapy for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the potential dosimetric benefits of a two-phase adaptive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) protocol for patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). A total of 17 patients with locally advanced NPC treated with IMRT had a second computed tomography (CT) scan after 17 fractions in order to apply and continue the treatment wi...
