Aim: To quantify the variability between radiation oncologists (ROs) when outlining axillary nodes in breast cancer.
Material And Methods: For each participating center, three ROs with different levels of expertise, i.e.
Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes and patterns of CT lung injury after hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy delivered with helical tomotherapy (HHT) in a series of inoperable lung lesions.
Methods: 68 patients who were medically inoperable (69 lesions) without evidence of viable extrathoracic disease were included. Dose prescription was driven by tumour location (hilar/pericentral vs peripheral) and/or target volume.
Article Synopsis
- * A local failure of the cancer was found three years later, specifically in the apical region, and due to other health issues, the patient couldn't undergo standard hormone therapy.
- * Instead, he received stereotactic body radiation therapy to target the local failure, which was well-tolerated, and after six months of follow-up, he showed no signs of cancer recurrence or metastasis.
Background: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most frequent neoplasm occurring in patients with HIV-related AIDS and very often exhibits multifocal distribution so that a systemic approach is needed. KS is considered a radiosensitive tumor and (RT) has always played an important role in the therapeutic strategy of its various forms. RT is a valuable means of pain relief, bleeding control and edema palliation, but it is also an effective treatment modality for local control of skin and mucosal lesions in KS.
