BACKGROUND Early endometrial cancer with low-risk pathological features can be successfully treated by surgery alone. External beam radiotherapy added to surgery has been investigated in several small trials, which have mainly included women at intermediate risk of recurrence. In these trials, postoperative radiotherapy has been shown to reduce the risk of isolated local recurrence but there is...
background and objective: hypothyroidism is a known consequence of the external beam radiotherapy to the neck encompassing the thyroid gland for over 40 years. the aim of this study was to find out the incidence of hypothyroidism in patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy, when radiation portals included whole of the thyroid gland. materials and methods: this prospective no...
background: since tumors located in thorax region of body mainly move due to respiration, in the modern radiotherapy, there have been many attempts such as; external markers, strain gage and spirometer represent for monitoring patients’ breathing signal. with the advent of fluoroscopy technique, indirect methods were proposed as an alternative approach to extract patients’ breathing signals. ma...
The accuracy of external beam radiotherapy has improved rapidly in recent years with the advancement of technology. New modalities like three‐dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy, IMRT (intensity modulated radiotherapy) based on multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) and Tomotherapy technology for cancer treatments have been adopted in radiotherapy centers. In many developing countries like India these...
Introduction: In radiotherapy, the bolus is often used while treating the tumor under the uneven surfaces of the patients for correcting the anatomical irregularities and increasing skin dose. Wet cotton and wet gauze are still used in developing countries, since the use of wet cotton and wet gauze has certain disadvantages, there is a need for transparent bolus which ...
Gliomas comprise about 50% of all primary central nervous system tumors that have defied treatment. Despite of improvement in treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the prognosis for these patients remains poor. Efforts to improve the treatment of malignant glioma have included Targeted Radiotherapy with [125I]-Iododeoxyuridine. 125IUdR, a thymidine analogue, is preferen...
Background: Treatment of cervical carcinoma is routinely performed with Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy, but Brachytherapy in our department is done with Medium Dose Rate (MDR) due to the technical characteristics of the machine available here. Thus we decided to evaluate the results of this treatment in our department in a prospective study. Methods: Between March 2006 and July 2008, 140 pa...
Background and Objective: Hypothyroidism is a known consequence of the external beam radiotherapy to the neck encompassing the thyroid gland for over 40 years.
