Conformal hypofractionated radiotherapy for dogs with large adrenal tumours

Adrenal Tumours in Dogs

Focal 3D conformal high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy for brain metastases.

The optimal management of patients with few brain metastases is complex. On one hand, stereotactic radiation therapy is a keystone of treatment but is only applicable to highly selected patients fulfilling specific criteria who have access to an adequate radiation unit. On the other, whole-brain radiation therapy may improve survival, but deleterious effects on neurocognitive functions are well...

Radiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours

ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...

3D conformal hypofractionated radical radiotherapy in early glottic cancer.

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate acute and late toxicity and the locoregional control in patients treated with hypofractionated radical radiotherapy 2.25 Gy/fraction/day for early glottic carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed of 27 patients, stage T1-T2 N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma, that underwent radical RT from April 2008 to October 2011....

Optimal hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy for large brain metastases in patients with high risk factors: a single-institutional prospective study

BACKGROUND A single-institutional prospective study of optimal hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy for large brain metastases with high risk factors was performed based on the risk prediction of radiation-related complications. METHODS Eighty-eight patients with large brain metastases ≥10 cm(3) in critical areas treated from January 2010 to February 2014 using the CyberKnife were evaluate...
