High-dose-rate intraoperative radiation therapy for colorectal cancer.
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has the obvious advantage of maximally irradiating the tumor bed while eliminating surrounding normal organs from the field of radiation. This approach has been especially useful when the required radiation dose exceeds the tolerance dose of the surrounding normal tissues. However, the application of IORT has been significantly limited by cost, logistic i...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in high-risk prostate cancer treated with high-dose radiation therapy and androgen deprivation therapy
BACKGROUND Our aim was to assess the heterogeneity of high-risk (HR) prostate cancer managed with high-dose external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). METHODS We identified 547 patients who were treated with modern EBRT from 1997 to 2013, of whom 98% received ADT. We analyzed biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS) and distant metastases-free survival (DMFS). ...
متن کاملBreast Cancer: High-Dose Therapy.
Breast cancer has become the leading indication for high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCR) in North America. The rapid increase in HDC/ASCR for breast cancer has been driven by belief in the response rates and survival times demonstrated in phase II studies, which have been higher than that of historical controls. However, there is a growing body of data to suggest...
متن کاملAnalysis of Hip Joint Dose in Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: A Dosimetric Comparison of Treatment Plans
Background and purpose: Radiation therapy as a part of cancer treatment is used in almost 50-60% of involved cases. In prostate cancer radiation therapy, a large volume of pelvis is irradiated, so, it is necessary to preserve sensitive organs around the treatment area, especially rectum and bladder. In this study, some dosimetric parameters such as minimum dose (Dmin), maximum dose (Dmax), mean...
