Clinical Concerns and Strategies in Radiation Oncology

Lessons learned from radiation oncology clinical trials.

A workshop entitled "Lessons Learned from Radiation Oncology Trials" was held on December 7-8, 2011, in Bethesda, MD, to present and discuss some of the recently conducted radiation oncology clinical trials with a focus on those that failed to refute the null hypothesis. The objectives of this workshop were to summarize and examine the questions that these trials provoked, to assess the quality...

Clinical trials and radiation oncology technologies.

At the very start of their clinical training, radiation oncologists tend to embrace technology. The specialty draws a preponderance of technophiles to it, and those few who are not at first passionate about technology quickly become so. This has been especially true over the past 2 decades with the introduction of innovative therapies such as three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT...

Current concepts in clinical radiation oncology

Based on its potent capacity to induce tumor cell death and to abrogate clonogenic survival, radiotherapy is a key part of multimodal cancer treatment approaches. Numerous clinical trials have documented the clear correlation between improved local control and increased overall survival. However, despite all progress, the efficacy of radiation-based treatment approaches is still limited by diff...

Clinical applications of MR spectroscopy in oncology

Introduction One of the first applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) to a patient with a tumor was the detection of an abnormal P MR spectrum of a rhabdosarcoma as compared to that of muscle tissue [1]. A typical tumor feature, already evident in this spectrum, was the relatively high level of the so-called phosphomonoester peak, which contains resonance’s from phosphorylated cho...
