Electronic On-line Incident Reporting System (IRS) as a Tool for Risk Assessment in Radiation Therapy.

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the primary treatment options in cancer management, together with surgery and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is technologically complex discipline involving professionals with various specialties, and using high energy radiation in treatment of wide range of different cancer types. Technical complexity, increasing number of patients, large workload, and delivery of radiation therapy treatment with lack of human, technical and financial resources in low and middle income countries creates environment with great potential to develop incidents.

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Thyroglobulin Antibodies in Preoperative Diagnosis of Thyroid Malignancy.

Introduction: Most important in the evaluation of thyroid thyroid disease is to differentiate a disease that is treated medically from a disease that requires surgical treatment. In preoperative differentiation of a malignant from a benign lesion are used different diagnostic methods (US, scintigraphy, FNAC, MRI).

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and serum thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) values in individual cytological categories.

Inter-application displacement of brachytherapy dose received by the bladder and rectum of the patients with inoperable cervical cancer.

Background: The aim of the study was to examine on the CT basis the inter-application displacement of the positions D0.1cc, D1cc and D2cc of the brachytherapy dose applied to the bladder and rectum of the patients with inoperable cervical cancer.

Patients And Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients with cervical cancer who were treated by concomitant chemo-radiotherapy.
