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....
متن کاملAccelerated Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in the Era of Concurrent Temozolomide Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme
Introduction Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) over age 65 represent nearly half of those diagnosed per annum. They have a different tumor markers profile, physiologic reserve, and a median survival as low as three to four months. An optimal treatment strategy in older GBM patients remains undefined, with many patients receiving radiation in 30 treatments over six weeks, a regimen bas...
متن کاملOutcomes in Newly Diagnosed Elderly Glioblastoma Patients after Concomitant Temozolomide Administration and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy
This study aimed to analyze the treatment and outcomes of older glioblastoma patients. Forty-four patients older than 70 years of age were referred to the Paul Strauss Center for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The median age was 75.5 years old (range: 70-84), and the patients included 18 females and 26 males. The median Karnofsky index (KI) was 70%. The Charlson indices varied from 4 to 6. All ...
متن کاملHypofractionated conformal radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer patients.
AIM To evaluate the results of hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy (RT) in limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC) patients, with particular interest in the value of "early" RT, i.e. given before the 3rd chemotherapy (CHT) cycle. MATERIAL AND METHODS Outcome of hypofractionated RT (42 Gy, 2.8 Gy/fraction, given over 19-21 days, using "concomitant boost" technique - elective volum...
متن کاملCombined-modality hypofractionated radiotherapy for elderly patients with glioblastoma: setting a new standard
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumour. It disproportionately affects the older segment of the population, as approximately half of the patients with GBM are above 65 years [1,2]. Moreover, the aging of the baby boom generation foreshadows a ‘silver tsunami’ of GBM [1]. Overlapping problems complicate management decisions for elderly patients, whether or not they h...
