Intraoperatic electron beam irradiation in pancreatic cancer.
Intraoperative electron beam radiation therapy (IOERT) is a technique in which a single high fraction radiation treatment is administered at the time of surgery. Using IOERT, the total radiation dose delivered to a tumor can be increased since sensitive normal tissues are removed from the radiation field during the surgical procedure. Furthermore, while the biologic effectiveness of this single...

متن کاملElectron Beam Irradiation Applications
The irradiation of materials with electron beams or X rays is used extensively to enhance or modify their physical, chemical or biological properties. These electron beam “irradiators” cover a very wide range of accelerators technology, beam current and energies to produce a wide variety of products, mostly with polymers. They also are used for curing ink, coatings, and adhesives as well as for...

متن کاملSurgical palliation of unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
The decision to perform surgical versus nonoperative palliation for unresectable pancreatic cancer is influenced by a number of factors. In most cases, patient symptoms clearly dictate the management. In patients with symptoms of duodenal obstruction at the time of presentation, surgery is the only option. In patients with obstructive jaundice alone, the options for management must be weighed a...
