Head and Neck Soft Tissue Sarcomas Treated with Radiation Therapy

Head and neck soft tissue sarcomas (HNSTSs) are rare and heterogeneous cancers in which radiation therapy (RT) has an important role in local tumor control (LC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes and patterns of treatment failure in patients with HNSTS treated with RT. A retrospective review was performed of adult patients with HNSTS treated with RT from January 1, 1998, to Dec...

Radiation-induced sarcomas of the head and neck.

The aim of this study was to report our experience on the management of radiation-induced sarcomas (RISs). A retrospective study from 1994 to 2003 was done at our institution reviewing the medical records of 5 patients who had RISs. Five patients diagnosed of head and neck cancer received irradiation to treat their diseases. Later on, these patients developed new neoplasms in the irradiation fi...

Radiation therapy for head and neck cancers.

A general review of the therapeutic experience of the management of carcinoma of the head and neck at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary is presented. Early lesions are highly curable by radiation therapy alone; the advanced lesions are preferably treated by combined irradiation and surgery, with improved survival rates. Concepts of various approaches are...

[Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer].

Radiation therapy is the first choice of treatment for most of the early squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Conventional radiotherapy however, contributes to the high local control rates only for carcinoma of the glottic larynx and the nasopharynx. Squamous cell carcinoma of the other sites cannot be sterilized easily only by external beam radiation therapy alone. Chemoradiotherapy, ...

Impact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy

Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...
