Orthovoltage intraoperative radiation therapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma
PURPOSE To analyze the outcomes of patients from a single institution treated with surgery and orthovoltage intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 23 consecutive patients from 1990-2001 treated with IORT to 23 discrete sites with median and mean follow up of 6.5 and 21 months, respectively. Most tumors were located in the head of ...
متن کامل3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Techniques for Laryngeal Cancer Taking Parotid Glands as Organ at Risk
Background: Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques are used for the treatment of patients with laryngeal cancer. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of these 2 treatment techniques on the planning target volume (PTV) (laryngeal cancer), dose homogeneity, dose of organs at...
متن کاملWhen electrons and protons get excited.
T he coupling of electron and proton transfer reactions is central to a broad range of biological and chemical processes, including photosynthesis, respiration, and various solar energy devices. Elucidation of the fundamental physical principles underlying proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions (1–5), in which both electrons and protons are transferred, is critical for a complete und...
متن کاملSkin Reaction in Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer
Introduction The first medical intervention for many breast cancer patients is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and/or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Most of these patients undergo radiation therapy, following surgery. The most common side-effect of breast radiotherapy is skin damage. In the present study, the severity of acute skin changes and the underlying causes were investigated in pati...
متن کاملCombining innate immunity with radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
INTRODUCTION The widely shared goal of cancer immunotherapy is to stimulate an immune response of sufficient quality and magnitude to destroy primary malignancies and their metastases. Cancer immunotherapy has taken many cues from the development of successful antimicrobial vaccines. Antimicrobial vaccines rely on the immune system’s capacity to distinguish self-tissues from infectious non-self...
