Targeted Radiotherapy of the Tumor Cavity after Surgical Resection of Aggressive Recurrent Brain Metastasis: A Case Report.

Postoperative management of patients with brain metastases is controversial. Besides local control, cognitive function and quality of life are the most important outcomes of postoperative radiotherapy. In this case report, we introduce a patient with aggressive recurred solid metastasis treated with repeated surgery and an individual radiotherapy approach in order to highlight that close mutual collaboration leads to a clear benefit for our patients.

Early toxicity of hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

Background: Hypofractionated accelerated radiotherapy (HART) is now a feasible option for prostate cancer treatment apropos toxicity, biochemical control and shortening of treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate hypofractionated schedules in the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer.

Patients And Methods: Between 2011-2014, 158 patients were treated using the RapidArc technique with IGRT.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Radiation-Induced Myelopathy.

Radiation myelopathy (RM) is a rare complication of spinal cord irradiation. Diagnosis is based on the history of radiotherapy, laboratory tests, and magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord. The MRI findings may nevertheless be quite unspecific.
