متن کاملOropharyngeal candidiasis and resistance to antifungal drugs in patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer
BACKGROUND: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common infection in patient receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Accurate and rapid identification of candida species is very important in clinical laboratory, because the incidence of candidiasis continues to rise after radiotherapy. The genus Candida has about 154 species that show different level of resistance to antifungal drugs and hav...
متن کاملAtlas-Based Auto-segmentation of Head and Neck CT Images
Treatment planning for high precision radiotherapy of head and neck (H&N) cancer patients requires accurate delineation of many structures and lymph node regions. Manual contouring is tedious and suffers from large inter- and intra-rater variability. To reduce manual labor, we have developed a fully automated, atlas-based method for H&N CT image segmentation that employs a novel hierarchical at...
متن کاملOpen Access Atlas of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Operative Surgery Management Principles/guidelines for Head and Neck Cancer in Developing Countries
Rapid economic growth in developing countries has been accompanied by lifestyle changes associated with squamous cell cancer such as smoking, alcohol, and longevity. Two-thirds of oral and pharyngeal cancers (excluding nasopharynx) occur in developing countries . Figure 4 illustrates the significant geographical variation for oral cancer; it is the most common cancer in males in high-risk areas...
متن کاملBrain-Sparing Methods for IMRT of Head and Neck Cancer
PURPOSE Radical radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) may deliver significant doses to brain structures. There is evidence that this may cause a decline in neurocognitive function (NCF). Radiation dose to the medial temporal lobes, and particularly to the hippocampi, seems to be critical in determining NCF outcomes. We evaluated the feasibility of two alternative intensity-modulated radio...
