Materials And Methods: Data from patients who underwent adjuvant RT for a diagnosis of SG cancer at Ankara Atatürk Education and Research Hospital, Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital and Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between September 01, 2009 and September 01, 2022 were analysed retrospectively. We evaluated the efficacy of RT alone versus CRT in these patients in terms of acute response, treatment tolerance, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).
Objective: This study reports the results of stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery treatment for brain metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with modern systemic treatment methods (immunotherapy, targeted agents, and current chemotherapy agents).
Material And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metasta- ses who underwent stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in the Radiation Oncology Clinic of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between February 21, 2019, and August 15, 2022. The study's primary endpoint was accepted as the lesions' response sta- tus after stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate acute toxicity and oncological outcomes of breast cancer patients who underwent adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) with tomotherapy.
Materials And Methods: The results of 114 patients who underwent adjuvant RT with Tomotherapy device between 17.08.
Background: We aimed to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in determining the correct stage and predicting the pathological response.
Methods: Seventy one patients with pathologic proven rectal adenocarcinoma, clinical stage IIA-IVA, and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were evaluated retrospectively. Radiotherapy was delivered 45-50 Gy in 25 fractions with concomitant oral capecitabine.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated treatment responses in 18 Kaposi sarcoma patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) over an 8-year period, focusing on both subjective and visual responses after treatment.
- Results showed a significant number of patients reported a complete (62.5%) or partial (30%) response, with a noteworthy higher response in males and in patients receiving a specific treatment dosage of 20 Gy in 5 fractions.
- The findings suggest that RT is an effective local treatment for Kaposi sarcoma but highlight the need for further studies to standardize dosages and improve treatment techniques.
. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and radiotherapy (RT) has been used to treat localized/limited lesions of MF. In this case report, the results of low-dose RT applied for palliative purpose are shared.
