Effects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation on the spine of young pediatric patients with medulloblastoma
PURPOSE To investigate the long-term effects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI) on the spine of young patients with medulloblastoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Six children between the ages of 3 and 5 years with medulloblastoma were treated with vertebral-body-sparing proton CSI after maximal safe resection. Radiation therapy was delivered in the supine position with p...
متن کاملSpine Metastasis Practice Patterns among Korean, Chinese, and Japanese Radiation Oncologists: A Multinational Online Survey Study
This online survey of practising radiation oncologists from Korea, China and Japan was conducted to investigate the current practices in radiotherapy (RT) for spine metastasis and to compare these practices across the three countries. The questionnaire included nine general information questions and two clinical scenarios (representing 'typical' and 'good' prognosis spine metastasis), with seve...
متن کاملStandardized treatment planning methodology for passively scattered proton craniospinal irradiation
BACKGROUND As the number of proton therapy centers increases, so does the need for studies which compare proton treatments between institutions and with photon therapy. However, results of such studies are highly dependent on target volume definition and treatment planning techniques. Thus, standardized methods of treatment planning are needed, particularly for proton treatment planning, in whi...
متن کاملEstimating the excess lifetime risk of radiation induced secondary malignancy (SMN) in pediatric patients treated with craniospinal irradiation (CSI): Conventional radiation therapy versus helical intensity modulated radiation therapy.
PURPOSE To quantify the risk of radiation-induced second malignancies (SMN) in pediatric patients receiving craniospinal irradiation (CSI) either with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (Conv CSI) or tomotherapy helical intensity modulated radiation therapy (Tomo CSI). METHODS AND MATERIALS A novel predictive model that accounts for short- and long-term carcinogenesis was incorporated ...
متن کاملRisk estimation of cardiac toxicity following craniospinal irradiation of pediatric patients
Material and Methods: From 2006-2013 801 patients with early stage NSCLC were treated with CBCT guided SBRT (median 54 Gy in 3 fractions) in 5 institutes for whom treatment plans were available. 565 patients were analyzed after exclusion of synchronous or metachronous tumors (n=80), follow-up<1y (n=63), or death from cancer (93).An average anatomy was constructed based on 109 patients of the 5 ...
