Radiation-related lymphopenia is associated with spleen irradiation dose during radiotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
BACKGROUND The decrease in peripheral blood lymphocytes induced by radiation lessens the antitumour effect of the immune response, which might cause immunosuppression. We aimed to investigate the correlation between the decrease in peripheral blood lymphocytes during radiotherapy (RT) and the spleen irradiation dose in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The subjects were 59...
متن کاملStatus of serum alpha feto-protein (AFP) and midkine (MDK) levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

متن کاملConformal and stereotactic radiotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Historically, Radiation Therapy (RT) has played a minor role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, especially because of toxicity related to conventional techniques. However, high radiation doses can now be given safely by means of 3D-conformal techniques and other more specialized techniques. 3D-conformal RT, in which both target definition and treatment planning are based on three-dim...
