Craniospinal irradiation using helical tomotherapy for central nervous system tumors
The aim of this study was to describe early and late toxicity, survival and local control in 45 patients with primary brain tumors treated with helical tomotherapy craniospinal irradiation (HT-CSI). From 2006 to 2014, 45 patients with central nervous system malignancies were treated with HT-CSI. The most common tumors were medulloblastoma in 20 patients, ependymoma in 10 patients, intracranial ...
متن کاملThe clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of 57 children and adolescents with primary central nervous system germ cell tumors
Primary central nervous system germ cell tumors (CNS-GCTs) in children and adolescents have unique clinical features and methods of treatment compared with those in adults. There is little information about Chinese children and adolescents with CNS-GCTs. Therefore, in this study we retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and treatment outcome of Chinese children and adolescents with prim...
متن کاملTumors of the central nervous system in children and adolescents.
BACKGROUND Multimodal treatment approaches for children with tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) have markedly contributed to improved survival. Before 1970, the survival rate among children with medulloblastoma, the most common malignant CNS tumor in children, was about 20%. At present, in contrast, cure can be achieved in more than 75% of children with a favorable constellation of risk...
متن کاملIntensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT): Central Nervous System Tumors
When Policy Topic is covered Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may be considered medically necessary for the treatment of tumors of the central nervous system when the tumor is in close proximity to organs at risk (brain stem, spinal cord, cochlea and eye structures including optic nerve and chiasm, lens and retina) and 3-D CRT planning is not able to meet dose volume constraints for norm...
متن کامل[Germ cell tumors in children and adolescents].
3.7% of the diagnoses in the Pediatric Tumour Registry (Zentrales Tumor-Register) of the German Society for Pediatric Oncology and Haematology (Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Onkologie und Hämatologie) concern germ cell tumors. The annual incidence has increased from 0.22 in 1980 to 0.60 per 100,000 children in 1992. The most common localizations are the coccygeal region (25%), followed by the t...
