Concomitant boost radiotherapy in oropharynx carcinomas.
Fifty-five patients with resectable and unresectable oropharynx carcinomas were treated with concomitant boost radiotherapy. Forty-two of the patients (76%) had stages III-IV disease. Although none of the patients had undergone major surgery to the primary tumor, 11 had neck dissections prior to radiotherapy, and 19 (35%) received chemotherapy. The planned total tumor dose was 69.9 Gy, delivere...
متن کاملConcomitant Boost Radiotherapy after Conservative Breast Surgery in Early Breast Cancer
Background: Radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery is a standard part of treatment for invasive breast cancer. Based on radiobiological models, it was found that shorter radiation schedules offered the promise of equivalent local control to standard radiation therapy by giving larger doses per fraction in shorter period of time. Methods: This study included 36 female patients with op...
متن کاملWeekly concomitant boost in adjuvant radiotherapy for patients with early breast cancer: preliminary results on feasibility.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Recent advances in the management of patients with breast cancer are focused toward the reduction of overall treatment time of radiotherapy by delivering a dose biologically equivalent to a standard schedule. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary toxicity of a moderately hypofractionated whole breast irradiation schedule with the additi...

متن کاملConcurrent chemo-irradiation using accelerated concomitant boost radiation therapy in loco-regionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.
PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of combining concomitant boost-accelerated radiation regimen (ACB) with full-dose mono-chemotherapy using cisplatin and to assess its local response and acute toxicity patterns in patients with advanced loco-regional head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 2004 and August 2005, a pilot study involving 27 patients...
