Postmastectomy electron beam chest wall irradiation in women with breast cancer: a clinical step toward conformal electron therapy.
PURPOSE Electron beam radiotherapy of the chest wall with or without lymph node irradiation has been used at the Institut Curie for >20 years. The purpose of this report was to show the latest improvements of our technique developed to avoid hot spots and improve the homogeneity. METHODS AND MATERIALS The study was split into two parts. A new electron irradiation technique was designed and co...
متن کاملRe-irradiation for locally recurrent refractory breast cancer
PURPOSE To report an analysis of treatment outcomes of a cohort of patients re-irradiated for locally recurrent refractory breast cancer (LRRBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2008 and 2013, 47 women (mean age = 60 years) were re-irradiated for LRRBC. Outcomes were measured using Kaplan-Meier log rank to compare curves and Cox regression for multivariate analysis. Outcomes included overall sur...
متن کاملExternal beam re-irradiation, combination chemoradiotherapy, and particle therapy for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is a common aggressive primary malignant brain tumor, and is nearly universal in progression and mortality after initial treatment. Re-irradiation presents a promising treatment option for progressive disease, both palliating symptoms and potentially extending survival. Highly conformal radiation techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated radiosurgery are eff...
متن کاملIntraoperatic electron beam irradiation in pancreatic cancer.
Intraoperative electron beam radiation therapy (IOERT) is a technique in which a single high fraction radiation treatment is administered at the time of surgery. Using IOERT, the total radiation dose delivered to a tumor can be increased since sensitive normal tissues are removed from the radiation field during the surgical procedure. Furthermore, while the biologic effectiveness of this single...
متن کاملThoracic Re-irradiation for Locally Recurrent Lung Cancer
Background: Patients with recurrent or progressive lung cancer experience a significant symptom burden, negatively affecting quality of life and reducing life expectancy. Thoracic re-irradiation can be used for palliative treatment to relieve symptoms or as a curative treatment. Methods: Using patient charts, we identified and reviewed 28 cases that had received palliative thoracic re-irradiati...
