Dose-volume effects on brainstem dose tolerance in radiosurgery.
OBJECT Dose-volume data concerning the brainstem in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) were analyzed in relation to associated complications. The authors present their set of data and compare it with currently cited information on brainstem dose tolerance associated with conventional fractionated radiation therapy and hypofractionated radiation treatment of other dise...
متن کاملEsophageal tolerance to high-dose stereotactic radiosurgery
PURPOSE Esophageal tolerance is needed to guide the safe administration of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). We evaluated comprehensive dose-volume parameters of acute esophageal toxicity in patients with spinal metastasis treated with SRS. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 2008 to May 2011, 30 cases in 27 patients with spinal metastasis received single fraction SRS to targets neighboring esophag...
متن کاملDose selection in stereotactic radiosurgery.
Selecting optimal doses for radiosurgery requires a thorough consideration of existing dose-response data for radiation injury of brain and surrounding structures and of the doseresponse for the desired endpoint (tumor control, obliteration of a vascular malformation, relief of trigeminal neuralgia, etc.). This paper reviews the radiobiological and physics principles that should be considered i...
متن کاملRadiation dose-volume effects in the lung.
The three-dimensional dose, volume, and outcome data for lung are reviewed in detail. The rate of symptomatic pneumonitis is related to many dosimetric parameters, and there are no evident threshold "tolerance dose-volume" levels. There are strong volume and fractionation effects.
متن کاملRadiation dose-volume effects in the heart.
The literature is reviewed to identify the main clinical and dose-volume predictors for acute and late radiation-induced heart disease. A clear quantitative dose and/or volume dependence for most cardiac toxicity has not yet been shown, primarily because of the scarcity of the data. Several clinical factors, such as age, comorbidities and doxorubicin use, appear to increase the risk of injury. ...
