An eight-year study of the thyroid cancer cases treated in Tehran Cancer Institute’s radiation-oncology Department [Persian]
A retrospective study was undertaken to examine the thyroid cancer cases referred for external radiotherapy to our department during the period of 1991-99. Within this period, a total of 33 patients had been treated by irradiation for thyroid cancer or its metastases and these cases were evaluated for age, sex, pathology and type of surgery. The reason of patients’ referral for external r...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiosurgery/Radiotherapy: A Historical Review
"Stereotactic" is an exact radiotherapy treatment modality which implements invasive and non-invasive facilities for improving precise dose delivery. Stereotactic refers to three-dimensional localization of a specific point in space by a unique set of coordinates that relate to a fixed external reference frame. An accurate delivery of radiation is attainable using these techniques with high pre...
متن کاملDose distribution evaluation of various dose calculation algorithms in inhomogeneous media
Background: Dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. We evaluated the percent depth dose (PDD), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. Materials and Methods: The homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in th...

Background: Gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. Chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant EOX regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: patients with locoregionally adv...
متن کاملAn analysis of personnel dose reports in medical radiation occupational workers from an oncology center
Background: To evaluate the risk involved, there is need to know the quantum of personnel exposures in whole service. Dose reports from an Oncology Centre over 7 block periods, 5 years each from 1979 till 2013 are analyzed. Materials and Methods: Personnel monitoring (PM) reports till 1990s with film badges and later thermoluminescent (TL) badges (CaSo4.Dy) were evaluated. 35 years total servic...
