Timely stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spine metastases using a rapidly deployable automated planning algorithm
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES The complex planning and quality assurance required for spine SBRT are a barrier to implementation in time-sensitive or limited resource clinical situations. We developed and validated an automated inverse planning algorithm designed to streamline planning and allow rapid delivery of conformal single fraction spine SBRT using widely available technology. MATERIALS/METHODS T...
متن کاملPercutaneous Vertebroplasty Relieves Pain in Cervical Spine Metastases
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been shown to release spinal pain and stabilize the vertebral body. PVP is suggested as an alternative treatment in spinal metastasis. Although cervical metastases is less prevalent than thoracic and lumbar spine, PVP procedure in cervical vertebrae remains technical challenging. We retrospectively analyzed the data from patients (n = 9) who underwent PVP u...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for high-risk central pulmonary metastases
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiotherapy of central lung tumors carries a higher risk of treatment-related toxicity and local failure. In the era of aggressive oligometastic management the exploration of the proper dose-fractionation for metastatic central lung tumors is essential. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with high-risk metastatic lesions of the central pulmonary tree comprised th...
متن کاملClinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy for spinal metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma
PURPOSE To investigate the outcomes of patients with spinal metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), who were treated by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 23 patients who underwent SBRT from October 2008 to August 2012 for 36 spinal metastases from HCC. SBRT consisted of approximately 2 fractionation schedules, which were 18...
