Image-guided positioning in intracranial non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of brain metastasis.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to examine the feasibility of non-invasive image-guided radiosurgery to improve patient comfort and quality of life in stereotactic radiosurgery planning and treatment of patients with brain metastasis. Precise immobilization is a rule of thumb for stereotactic radiosurgery. Non-invasive immobilization techniques have the potential of improved qualit...
متن کاملTreatment efficacy of 153Sm-EDTMP for painful bone metastasis
Introduction: Involvement of the skeleton can cause an excruciating pain in two-thirds of terminal patients with a history of malignancy. Due to several limitations of other therapies, such as analgesics, bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and external beam radiotherapy; bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have an important role in palliation of pain from bone metastases. Although th...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery plus whole-brain radiation therapy vs stereotactic radiosurgery alone for treatment of brain metastases: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT In patients with brain metastases, it is unclear whether adding up-front whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has beneficial effects on mortality or neurologic function compared with SRS alone. OBJECTIVE To determine if WBRT combined with SRS results in improvements in survival, brain tumor control, functional preservation rate, and frequency of neur...
متن کاملPhase II Clinical Trial of Robotic Stereotactic Body Radiosurgery for Metastatic Gynecologic Malignancies
BACKGROUND Recurrent gynecologic cancers are often difficult to manage without significant morbidity. We conducted a phase II study to assess the safety and the efficacy of ablative robotic stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) in women with metastatic gynecologic cancers. METHODS A total of 50 patients with recurrent gynecologic cancer who had single or multiple (≤4) metastases underwent rob...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
