Potential of Proton Therapy to Reduce Acute Hematologic Toxicity in Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy for Esophageal Cancer
PURPOSE Radiation therapy dose escalation using a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) is predicted to improve local tumor control in esophageal cancer; however, any increase in acute hematologic toxicity (HT) could limit the predicted improvement in patient outcomes. Proton therapy has been shown to significantly reduce HT in lung cancer patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy. Therefore, we...
متن کاملConcurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced carcinoma cervix patients.
PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of concurrent chemo radiation in locally advanced carcinoma cervix patients in our clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS From Sept. 1st 2005 to Aug. 31st 2006, 102 patients of carcinoma cervix belonging to stage IIA to IV A were enrolled in the study. External beam radiation therapy was administered using Cobalt 60 teletherapy machine. Cisplatinum (40 ...
متن کاملTumor volume as outcome determinant in patients treated with chemoradiation for locally advanced esophageal cancer.
OBJECTIVE The currently used tumor-node metastasis (TNM) staging method is generally not applicable to patients with unresectable esophageal carcinomas. There is a need for both an efficient, easy-to-perform clinical classification and for identification of pretherapeutic prognostic factors that would be useful for oncologists, one of which is tumor volume. METHODS Records of 148 patients, ad...
متن کاملComparing of different normal tissue complication probability models for plan evaluation of radical radiotherapy for esophageal cancer
Introduction: Chemoradiation is a well-established protocol for management of localized esophageal cancer. However, some early and late toxicities are associated with this therapy. Plan evaluation in term of normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) may help clinicians to tailor this therapy more individually. Given the variety of present radiobiological models, the choice...
متن کاملA Unique Complication Associated with Concurrent Chemoradiation for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiation is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. The full extent of treatment related complications has not been completely documented in the literature. METHODS We present the case of a patient treated with definitive intensity modulated radiation therapy and concurrent carboplatin and fluorouracil for...
