Robotic radiosurgery versus micro-multileaf collimator: a dosimetric comparison for large or critically located arteriovenous malformations 23 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Stereotactic irradiation of large or critically located arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a special challenge for clinicians and radiation physicists. To date, no comprehensive compari...
Concurrent whole brain radiotherapy and bortezomib for brain metastasis 21 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Survival of patients with brain metastasis particularly from historically more radio-resistant malignancies remains dismal. A phase I study of concurrent bortezomib and whole brain radioth...
Short--term effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy on anorectal function in rectal cancer patients: a pilot study 20 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by curative surgery has gained acceptance as the therapy of choice in locally advanced rectal cancer. However, deterioration of anorectal functi...
What does absence of lymph node in resected specimen mean after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer 19 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: The effect of insufficient node sampling in patients with rectal cancer managed by neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery has not been clearly determined. We evalulated the impact ...
Dose escalation of accelerated hypofractionated three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (at 3 Gy/fraction) with concurrent vinorelbine and carboplati... 17 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy can shorten total treatment time and overcome the accelerated repopulation of tumour cells during radiotherapy. This therapeutic approach has demo...
Postoperative radiotherapy for completely resected Masaoka stage III thymoma: a retrospective study of 65 cases from a single institution 13 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: The role of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for patients with stage III thymoma after complete resection is not definite. Some authors have advocated postoperative RT after complete tumor resec...
The stability of osseous metastases of the spine in lung cancer -- a retrospective analysis of 338 cases 13 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: The objective of this retrospective analysis is to systematically assess osseous lesions on the basis of a validated scoring system in terms of stability and fractures prior to and followi...
High-dose accelerated hypofractionated three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (at 3 Gy/fraction) with concurrent vinorelbine and carboplatin chemoth... 11 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Increasing the radiotherapy dose can result in improved local control for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and can thereby improve survival. Accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy can...
The different biological effects of single, fractionated and continuous low dose rate irradiation on CL187 colorectal cancer cells 9 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Purpose: To determine the biological effectiveness of single, fractionated and continuous low dose rate irradiation on the human colorectal cancer cell line CL187 in vitro and explore the cellular mec...
Rectal endoscopy findings following stereotactic body radiation therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer 9 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Treating prostate cancer with SBRT could potentially minimize radiation proctitis by reducing high-dose rectal irradiation. In addition, it offers the potential radiobiologic benefits of h...
