Integrating fMRI data into 3D conventional radiotherapy treatmentplanning of brain tumors
Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in treatment planning for patients with CNS tumors in order to decrease the injury of functional regions of the brain followed by increase in life quality and survival of patients. This study pursues a novel approach in planning for the treatment of brai...
متن کاملRe-irradiation for metastatic brain tumors with whole-brain radiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether second whole-brain irradiation is beneficial for patients previously treated with whole-brain irradiation. METHODS A retrospective analysis was done for 31 patients with brain metastases who had undergone re-irradiation. Initial whole-brain irradiation was performed with 30 Gy/10 fractions for 87% of these patients. Whole-brain re-irradiation was performed with ...
متن کاملIs Re-Irradiation of Recurrent Metastatic Brain Tumors an Option? Re-Irradiation for Metastatic Brain Tumors With Whole-Brain Radiotherapy
Background: Relapse after whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for multiple cerebral metastases occurs fairly often and is associated with a poor prognosis. Re-irradiation is an option that many defer because of risks of exceeding brain tolerance and resulting toxicity. Objective: To determine if brain re-irradiation is beneficial. Design: Single-institution retrospective study. Methods: Patien...
متن کاملevaluation of organs at risk’s dose in external radiotherapy of brain tumors
background: radiotherapy plays an important role in the management of most malignant and many benign primary central nervous system (cns) tumors. radiotherapy affects both tumor cells and uninvolved normal cells; so, it is important to estimate absorbed dose to organs at risk in this kind of treatment. the aim of this study was to determine the absorbed dose to chiasma, lens, optic nerve, retin...
متن کاملCT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors
In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...
