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 کاملHigh-dose-rate intraoperative radiation therapy for colorectal cancer.
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has the obvious advantage of maximally irradiating the tumor bed while eliminating surrounding normal organs from the field of radiation. This approach has been especially useful when the required radiation dose exceeds the tolerance dose of the surrounding normal tissues. However, the application of IORT has been significantly limited by cost, logistic i...
متن کاملQuality assurance prusedore in high dose rate bracythrapy
Introduction: Quality assurance is essential for obtaining the best achievable tumor control, avoiding unnecessary side effects, accuracy and safety during performing High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy (BT). Quality assurance is extremely important because HDR BT procedures are performed quickly, with high doses given in a short time period, with little opportunity for correcti...
متن کاملHigh Dose Androgen Therapy
We describe the clinical and biochemical features of six men with male pseudohermaphroditism due to androgen resistance. Each of the subjects had male-gender behavior but incomplete virilization. The underlying defects in androgen metabolism were defined by studies of the 5a-reductase enzyme and the androgen receptor in fibroblasts cultured from biopsies of genital skin. Four of the six have 5a...
متن کاملHigh dose rate radiation treatment of experimental intramuscular prostate carcinoma.
PURPOSE The Dunning R3327-MLL is a well established transplanted tumour line, and as such it makes a desirable model for evaluative studies of therapy. In the current study, the interstitial growth characteristics as well as the response of this tumour to a single fraction of high dose rate radiation is investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The in vitro response to radiation of the Dunning R332...
