Cervical cancer is a serious health problem, with nearly 500,000 women developing the disease each year worldwide. Most early-stage tumors are curable. After careful clinical evaluation and staging, primary treatment of cervical either surgery or radiotherapy combined there lack preoperative trials alone so we aim to assess its impact on survival in early stage versus postoperative radio surger...

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is exceedingly rare to occur intracerebrally. The incidence of this subtype 0.001%. Their typical origin from nerves the limbs, trunk, and lumbar brachial plexuses. It carries a poor prognosis despite aggressive management due high chances local recurrence. We present case MPNST occurring intracerebrally in 60-year-old male patient. Imaging showed...

OBJECTIVE Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare tumor occurring in almost every anatomic location of human body; however, reports of malignant solitary fibrous tumor in the nasal and paranasal area are especially rare. In this report, we describe a case of non-recurrent malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the nasal and paranasal area. METHODS The patient was initially treated with nasal and parana...

Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with following external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) of the conserved breast has become widely accepted in the last decades for the treatment of early invasive breast cancer. The standard technique of EBRT after BCS is to treat the whole breast up to a total dose of 42.5 to 50 Gy. An additional dose is given to treated volume as a boost to a portion of the breas...

BACKGROUND Chordomas are rare tumours affecting the skull base. There is currently no clear consensus on the post-surgical radiation treatments that should be used after maximal tumour resection. However, high-dose proton beam therapy is an accepted option for post-operative radiotherapy to maximise local control, and in the UK, National Health Service approval for funding abroad is granted for...

and post-operative RT may be indicated in selected patients who are at high risk of local recurrence. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of preand post-operative radiation oncology (RO) consultation among patients who undergo cystectomy for bladder cancer in Ontario. Materials/Methods: Records of RT and surgery were linked to the Ontario Cancer Registry (OCR) to identify a...

abstract prostate cancer is one of the life threatening disorders of male. although, over the last two decades, a high rate of overdiagnosis, and overtreatment has lowered the incidence rate of prostate cancer, the treatment or prevention strategies are not enough to control the high rate of disease related mortality. current medical treatment approaches include surgery, radiation therapy, chem...

background: the human body contains of different tissues and cavities with different physical and radiological properties. most important among these are tissues and cavities that are radiologically different from water, including lungs, sinuses and bones. gel dosimetry provides a unique feature to display dose distributions occurring in clinical radiation therapy in three dimensions. materials...

introduction evaluation of the delivered dose of externally wedged photon beams by external diode dosimeters during the treatment process requires the estimation of exit surface dose correction factors in various wedge angles and field sizes. materials and methods a system of absorbed dose evaluation, using p-type diode dosimeters placed on the exit surface of a phantom, was characterized for e...

esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignancies with a growing occurrence . it presently ranks ninth among the most frequent cancers in the world and the sixth leading cause of death from cancer . for a variety of reasons, the mainstream of patients with esophageal cancer is actually not suitable for esophagectomy. more than 50% have locally advanced unresectable or metastatic tumors a...
