Fractionated High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy
Purpose: A growing body of data suggests that local control in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is related to the radiation dose administered. We conducted a singleinstitution study of high-dose radiotherapy (RT), which incorporated high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT). These results were analyzed together with data obtained from controls who did not receive BT. Patients and Methods: The BT group...
متن کاملWaldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia treated with fractionated low-dose total body irradiation
Case Report: A 78-year-old male with relapsed Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia following therapy with chlorambucil underwent a five-week course of TBI. The total dose delivered was 1.5 Gy, given as 0.15 Gy twice weekly for ten sessions. During the course of therapy his CD4 cells increased from 637 (cells/mm3) to 808 partly through treatment and then declined to 654 at the completion of therapy. ...
متن کاملDLA-identical bone marrow grafts after low-dose total body irradiation: effects of high-dose corticosteroids and cyclosporine on engraftment.
Previous studies found that marrow allografts from DLA-identical littermates resulted in survival of 60% of recipient dogs after an otherwise lethal dose of 450 cGy of total body irradiation (TBI), either because of successful allografts or autologous recovery after rejection of the allografts. Forty percent of dogs died with marrow aplasia after allograft rejection. The current study asked whe...

Similar effects on murine haemopoietic compartment of low dose rate single dose and high dose rate fractionated total body irradiation. Summary This study was designed to compare two different modalities of TBI which are currently used in clinical practice. The same dose of 750 cGy was given to CBA mice either in a single dose at a low dose rate (4 cGy min-') (STBI) or in a fractionated regimen...
متن کاملEffect of dose-rate and lung dose in total body irradiation on interstitial pneumonitis after bone marrow transplantation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of interstitial pneumonitis following fractionated total body irradiation conditioning for bone marrow transplantation with varying lung doses due to shielding technique and different dose-rates. Between 1987 and 2001, a total number of 105 patients have received total body irradiation conditioning for bone marrow transplantation for hematologi...
