Pulsed reduced dose-rate radiotherapy as re-irradiation for brain metastasis in a patient with lung squamous-celled carcinoma.
The recurrence and progression of brain metastases after brain irradiation are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with cancer. The risk of radiation-induced neurotoxicity and efficacy probably leads oncologists to not consider re-irradiation. We report the case of a 48-year-old Asian male diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer and multiple brain metastases initially treated ...
متن کاملCancer Therapy: Clinical Immunosuppression in Patients with High-Grade Gliomas Treated with Radiation and Temozolomide
Purpose: Patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG) routinely receive radiation, temozolomide, and glucocorticoids. As each of these is immunosuppressive, we conducted a prospective, multicenter study to follow CD4 counts over time and determine whether low CD4 counts were associated with adverse
متن کاملLow-Dose Aspirin Therapy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes accompanied by renal damage is a strong risk factor for atherosclerotic events. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of low-dose aspirin therapy on primary prevention of atherosclerotic events in patients with type 2 diabetes and coexisting renal dysfunction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Japanese Primary Prevention of Atherosclerosis With Aspi...
متن کاملTrueBeam Low Dose Rate Investigation for Pulsed Reduced Dose Rate IMRT
The capability of the TrueBeam treatment system to deliver step and shoot IMRT plans at low dose rates was evaluated. Beam characteristics during low dose rates (5 to 100 MU/min) were evaluated for consistency using a planar ion chamber array. MU constancy, linearity, and beam profile symmetry were all found to be equivalent within 0.5%. The response of the Scandi Dos Delta 4 system was also ev...
متن کاملRe-Irradiation in Recurrent High-Grade Glioma
Background and Purpose: Despite the progress in treatment modalities such as neurosurgery and radiotherapy, almost all patients treated with malignant gliomas develop recurrent tumors and die of their disease. The aim of this study was to determine response, survival and treatment toxicities after reirradiation of relapsing primary malignant brain gliomas. Material and Methods: Twenty patients ...
