The role of radiation therapy in bone metastases management
Bone metastases represent an important complication of malignant tumours. Despite improvement in surgical techniques and advances in systemic therapies, management of patients with bone metastatic disease remains a powerful cornerstone for the radiation oncologist. The primary goal of radiation therapy is to provide pain relief, preserving patient's quality of life.
متن کامل125I Seed Implant Brachytherapy for Painful Bone Metastases After Failure of External Beam Radiation Therapy
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided I seed implant brachytherapy in patients with painful metastatic bone lesions after failure of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).From August 2012 to July 2014, 26 patients with painful bone metastases after failure of EBRT were treated with CT-guided I seed implant brachytherapy...
متن کاملCalculation of gel dose after external radiation therapy using optical CT
In this study, the MAGIC- f polymer gel was used to determine the absorbed dose by external radiation therapy. The MAGIC- f gel was made under normal pressure and temperature conditions and irradiated with a Siemens 6MV linear accelerator at 10 × 10 cm2 and at a depth of 10 cm. While simulating the head of the accelerator unit by the Monte Carlo method with BEAMnrc code, the percentage depth do...
متن کاملRadioisotope therapy of bone metastases.
Radionuclide therapy has been an integral part of systemic treatment of patients with advanced and disseminated cancer for 50 years. Specific radioisotopes (b- or a-emitters) with selective concentration at sites of bone cancer damage are used in the treatment. Radioisotopes are an important addition to the armamentarium of clinicians who take care of patients with advanced cancer and painful c...
متن کاملPositive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy: does it matter?
After decades of study, it remains difficult to accurately quantify the incidence or prevalence of positive surgical margins (PSMs) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Reported percentages of PSMs vary greatly (range: 1% to 50%) depending on whether the prostate cancer (PCa) was organ confined (pT2) or not (pT3+) [1]. This is due to amultitude of factors including varying definitions of PSMs, cha...
