The Usefulness of Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Radioresistant Brain Metastases
OBJECTIVE We investigated the effectiveness of stereotactic gamma knife Radiosurgery (GKR) for radioresistant brain metastases with the impact upon histology. METHODS Between April 2004 and May 2011, a total of 23 patients underwent GKR for 67 metastatic brain tumors from 12 renal cell cancers, 5 sarcomas and 6 melanomas. The mean age was 56 years (range, 18 to 79 years). Most of the patients...
متن کاملDifferentiating osteopoikilosis from osteoblastic metastases
Osteopoikilosis is a rare, benign osteosclerotic dysplasia that predominantly involves the appendicular skeleton. Radiographic findings are diagnostic, and the disease often is discovered incidentally on x-ray films. The importance of recognizing osteopoikilosis lies in differentiating it from osteoblastic metastases. The cause is unclear. Patients typically are asymptomatic. Diagnostic finding...
متن کاملDynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI perfusion for differentiating between melanoma and lung cancer brain metastases
Brain metastases originating from different primary sites overlap in appearance and are difficult to differentiate with conventional MRI. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI can assess tumor microvasculature and has demonstrated utility in characterizing primary brain tumors. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of plasma volume (Vp) and volume transfer coefficient (Ktrans ) derived from DCE...
متن کاملInvestigation of the diffusion abnormality index as a new imaging biomarker for early assessment of brain tumor response to radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND Diffusion MRI, although having the potential to be a biomarker for early assessment of tumor response to therapy, could be confounded by edema and necrosis in or near the brain tumors. This study aimed to develop and investigate the ability of the diffusion abnormality index (DAI) to be a new imaging biomarker for early assessment of brain metastasis response to radiation therapy (RT...
متن کاملAcute Radiation Response of Mice from a Cross between Radiosensitive and Radioresistant Strains.
HE existence of genetic differences in the radiosensitivity of inbred mouse T strains has been well established under controlled experimental conditions (KOHN and KALLMAN 1956; GRAHN and HAMILTON 1957). These studies have indicated that strain BALB/c is the most radiosensitive of those investigated and that strain C57BL is relatively resistant. As a consequence of this known difference, strains...
