Hyperfractionated external beam radiation therapy in the treatment of murine transgenic retinoblastoma.
OBJECTIVE To determine the in vivo efficacy of hyperfractionated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in comparison with standard daily EBRT in a murine model of heritable retinoblastoma. METHODS Two hundred twenty eyes from 6-week-old simian virus-40 large T-antigen--positive mice were treated with a total dose of EBRT ranging from 10-76 Gy (1000 to 7600 rad). One hundred ten eyes underwen...
متن کاملRadiation-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in breast cancer patients following external beam radiation therapy
Objective(s): Radiation therapy for breast cancer can induce myocardial capillary injury and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A prospective cohort was conducted to study the prevalence of myocardial perfusion abnormalities following radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer patients as compared to those with right–sided cancer. Methods: To minimize potential confounding fact...
متن کاملExternal beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Men with non-metastatic prostate cancer have many treatment options. For over 35 years, radiation therapy has been a mainstay of treatment for this disease. With improvements in technology and better use of pretreatment prognostic factors, such as prostate specific antigen level and Gleason score, biochemical and clinical results have steadily improved. This article reviews the current status o...
متن کاملRadiation optic neuropathy after external beam radiation therapy for acromegaly.
For diagnosing radiation optic neuropathy (RON) ophthalmological and imaging data were evaluated from 63 acromegalic patients, irradiated between 1967 and 1998. Two patients developed RON: one patient in one optic nerve 10 years and another patient in both optic nerves 5 months after radiation therapy. RON is a rare complication after external beam radiation therapy for acromegaly, which can oc...
متن کاملWhole-gland salvage high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy for localized prostate cancer recurrence after external beam radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND Whole-gland high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been used as salvage therapy for local recurrence following external beam radiation therapy for decades. This article describes the use of the Sonablate 500 HIFU system in the salvage setting. METHODS An evaluation was performed of a consecutive group of men with biochemical failure after external beam radiation therapy with ...
