The aim of the present analysis was to assess the feasibility, toxicity, and the tumor control of reirradiation as a salvage treatment for progressive pediatric non-pontine high-grade gliomas (HGG). The database of the Reference Center for Radiation Oncology of the German HIT (HIT = German acronym for brain tumor) treatment network for childhood brain tumors was screened for children who were reir...... hiện toàn bộ
Characteristics of non-coplanar IMRT in the presence of target-embedded organs at riskRadiation Oncology - Tập 10 - Trang 1-14 - 2015
Klaus Bratengeier, Kostyantyn Holubyev
The aim is to analyze characteristics and to study the potentials of non-coplanar intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques. The planning study applies to generalized organ at risk (OAR) – planning target volume (PTV) geometries. The authors focus on OARs embedded in the PTV. The OAR shapes are spherically symmetric (A), cylindrical (B), and bended (C). Several IMRT techniques are us...... hiện toàn bộ
Target volume definition in high-risk prostate cancer patients using sentinel node SPECT/CT and 18 F-choline PET/CTRadiation Oncology - Tập 7 - Trang 1-7 - 2012

To assess the influence of sentinel lymph nodes (SNs) SPECT/CT and 18 F-choline (18 F-FCH) PET/CT in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning for prostate cancer patients with a high-risk for lymph node (LN) involvement. Twenty high-risk prostate cancer patients underwent a pelvic SPECT acquisition following a transrectal ultrasound guided injection of 99mTc-Nanocoll into the prostate. In all patients...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to assess the management of cervical necrosis (CN) following radiotherapy (RT) and the impact of smoking status. This rare complication mimics a neoplastic recurrence, and causes concern among attending physicians.

Radiation therapy is a mainstay in the treatment of esophageal cancer (EC) patients, and photon radiotherapy has proved beneficial both in the neoadjuvant and the definitive setting. However, regarding the still poor prognosis of many EC patients, particle radiation employing a higher biological effectiveness may help to further improve patient outcomes. However, the influence of clinically availa...... hiện toàn bộ
Accuracy of methionine-PET in predicting the efficacy of heavy-particle therapy on primary adenoid cystic carcinomas of the head and neckRadiation Oncology - Tập 8 - Trang 1-10 - 2013

We evaluated whether or not PET or PET/CT using L-methyl-[11C]-methionine (MET) can allow for the early prediction of local recurrence and metastasis, as well as the prognosis (disease-specific survival), in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck treated by carbon ion beam radiotherapy. This was a retrospective cohort study of sixty-seven patients who underwent a MET-PET or PE...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in the micromorphology of the corneal subbasal nerve plexus in patients after plaque brachytherapyRadiation Oncology - Tập 8 - Trang 1-9 - 2013
Andrey Zhivov, Karsten Winter, Sabine Peschel, Oliver Stachs, Andreas Wree, Guido Hildebrandt, Rudolf Guthoff
To quantify the development of radiation neuropathy in corneal subbasal nerve plexus (SNP) after plaque brachytherapy, and the subsequent regeneration of SNP micromorphology and corneal sensation. Nine eyes of 9 melanoma patients (ciliary body: 3, iris: 2, conjunctiva: 4) underwent brachytherapy (ruthenium-106 plaque, dose to tumour base: 523 ± 231 Gy). SNP micromorphology was assessed by in-vivo ...... hiện toàn bộ
A case report on a novel use of intraoperative Intrabeam™ radiation therapy for a recurrent malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with sciatic nerve involvementRadiation Oncology - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2022
Chaharbakhshi, Edwin, Hardham, Joshua, Siochi, Ramon Alfredo, Tenenholz, Todd C., Lindsey, Brock A.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are sarcomas that arise from peripheral nerves. They generally have a poor prognosis which is exacerbated by high local recurrence rates. This case report discusses the treatment of a patient with a MPNST with local recurrence. This case report is novel due to the use of intraoperative Intrabeam™ (Zeiss, Dublin, CA) radiation therapy use in the prot...... hiện toàn bộ
Radiosensitization of orthotopic GIC-driven glioblastoma by doxycycline causes skin damageRadiation Oncology - Tập 14 - Trang 1-6 - 2019
Guido Frosina, Daniela Marubbi, Diana Marcello, Antonio Daga
Doxycycline (DXC) is a tetracycline antibiotic which has been proposed as a breast cancer radiosensitizer by specifically reducing the expression of the DNA repair enzyme DNA PK in breast cancer initiating cells. Since DXC presents favorable pharmacokinetics properties including the capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier, it has been hypothesized that it could radiosensitize brain tumors as wel...... hiện toàn bộ
