Clinical comparison of brachytherapy versus hypofractionated external beam radiation versus standard fractionation external beam radiation for non-melanomatous skin cancers

PURPOSE Non-melanomatous skin cancer (NMSC) is the single most common cancer in the US. Radiation therapy is an excellent treatment alternative to surgery. High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) are commonly used radiation treatment modalities but little data is published comparing these modalities. We present our institution's experience and outcomes with thes...

Radiation-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in breast cancer patients following external beam radiation therapy

Objective(s): Radiation therapy for breast cancer can induce myocardial capillary injury and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A prospective cohort was conducted to study the prevalence of myocardial perfusion abnormalities following radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer patients as compared to those with right–sided cancer. Methods: To minimize potential confounding fact...

External Beam Radiation in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

The treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is surgery followed in some cases by adjuvant treatment, mostly with radioactive iodine (RAI). External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is less common and not a well-established treatment modality in DTC. The risk of recurrence depends on three major prognostic factors: extra-thyroid extension, patient's age, and tumor with reduced iodine uptake....

1Epidemiology of gynaecological cancers

Epidemiology is the basic science underpinning public health and clinical medicine. It describes the occurrence of health-related states or events (incidence, prevalence), quantifies the risk of disease (relative risk) and its outcome (prognosis, survival, mortality), and postulates causal mechanisms for disease in populations (aetiology, prevention). The main function of epidemiology is to pro...

Successful treatment of melanoma metastatic to the left atrium using external beam radiation therapy.

The successful treatment of a patient with primary nasal melanoma metastatic to the lung, pulmonary vein, and left atrium using radiation therapy is described. The patient was effectively treated with a conventional external beam radiation fractionation scheme (rather than a more commonly used hypofractioned regimen) that was utilized to minimize risk of arterial embolus of the tumor or rupture...
