Stereotactic radiosurgery is increasingly used in patients with limited brain metastases and good baseline performance to avoid the toxicities of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Patients with resected brain metastases are undergoing cavity-directed radiosurgery, withholding WBRT. Multiple institutions have published concerning incidences of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) when using this approach. W...... hiện toàn bộ

Biological subtypes have been strongly correlated with loco-regional recurrence after definitive treatment for localized breast cancer. Brain metastases (BM) occur in 15% of patient diagnosed with breast cancer (BC). Therefore, we sought to determine whether biologic subtype is predictive of local control (LC) in BC patients with BM treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This is a single-ce...... hiện toàn bộ
Patient information in radiation therapy: strategies to meet patient needsJournal of Radiation Oncology - Tập 3 - Trang 223-228 - 2014
Jill Sutherland
Cancer patients actively seek information about their disease and its treatment, yet patients report that the information they receive is not adequate. Radiation oncology professionals are well suited to be information advocates because of the supportive relationships that they often develop with their patients. There are clear benefits to meeting patient information needs and detriments associate...... hiện toàn bộ

We aimed to define the impact of patient, tumor, surgical, and radiotherapy (RT) treatment parameters on Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) recurrence and survival. The study was a retrospective review of 45 patients with primary disease evaluated between 1981 and 2012 at a single U.S. institution and treated with curative intent. The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage was I in 42.2 %, II in...... hiện toàn bộ
