Comparison of Short-Course Radiotherapy Versus Long-Course Radiotherapy for Treatment of Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) versus long-course radiotherapy (LCRT) in the treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC).PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched up to April 2015. Relevant data were extracted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality of randomized controlled trial (RCT) was evaluated using m...

The current study compared the cost-effectiveness of the two approaches. METHODS AND MATERIALS In the original clinical trial, clinical effectiveness was measured by ambulation and s...
متن کاملShort-course versus long-course neoadjuvant radiotherapy for lower rectal cancer: a systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the efficacy of short-course (SCRT) versus long-course radiotherapy/chemoradiation (LCRT) as a neoadjuvant modality for the management of lower rectal cancer (LRC). METHODS A systematic review of the literature was undertaken. Selected trials were analysed to generate a summative outcome.

متن کاملRadiotherapy for rectal cancer: Short course versus long course – When and how
Prior to the introduction of improved surgical techniques such as total mesorectal excision, local recurrence rates after resection were unacceptably high with surgery alone.

Two different strategies were evaluated in the...
متن کاملRandomized trial of short- versus long-course radiotherapy for palliation of painful bone metastases.
BACKGROUND Radiation therapy is effective in palliating pain from bone metastases. We investigated whether 8 Gy delivered in a single treatment fraction provides pain and narcotic relief that is equivalent to that of the standard treatment course of 30 Gy delivered in 10 treatment fractions over 2 weeks. METHODS A prospective, phase III randomized study of palliative radiation therapy was con...
