Microwave plaque thermoradiotherapy for choroidal melanoma.
Microwave thermoradiotherapy was used as a primary treatment for 44 patients with choroidal melanoma. An episcleral dish-shaped microwave antenna was placed beneath the tumour at the time of plaque brachytherapy. While temperatures were measured at the sclera, the tumour's apex was targeted to receive a minimum of 42 degrees C for 45 minutes. In addition, the patients received full or reduced d...
متن کاملVascular Disrupting Agent Arsenic Trioxide Enhances Thermoradiotherapy of Solid Tumors
Our previous studies demonstrated arsenic trioxide- (ATO-) induced selective tumor vascular disruption and augmentation of thermal or radiotherapy effect against solid tumors. These results suggested that a trimodality approach of radiation, ATO, and local hyperthermia may have potent therapeutic efficacy against solid tumors. Here, we report the antitumor effect of hypofractionated radiation f...
متن کاملHead and neck cancers: results of thermoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy.
Sixty-five patients were included in a randomized clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of local hyperthermia as a concomitant agent to radiotherapy in the treatment of carcinoma of the head and neck region. Local hyperthermia at 42-43 degrees C was generated by a 27 x 12 MHz radiofrequency diathermy unit and was used before radiotherapy in 33 patients; the remaining 32 patients were subjecte...
متن کاملThermoradiotherapy in the management of superficial malignant tumors.
In recent years there have been numerous randomized and nonrandomized studies conducted to assess the efficacy of hyperthermia combined with either radiation therapy or chemotherapy, especially in the treatment of superficially seated malignant tumors. The major impact of hyperthermia is currently on locoregional control of tumor. Heat may be directly cytotoxic to tumor cells or inhibit repair ...
متن کاملNovel anesthetic technique for combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervix cancer in an outpatient setting
PURPOSE To determine the feasibility and safety of outpatient combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervix cancer with sedation and local anesthesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included patients diagnosed with non-metastatic cervix cancer and have completed brachytherapy between December 2015 and December 2016. Moderate to deep sedation was achieved using intravenous midazola...
