Physical and clinical results of a radiation bra in patients treated with total skin electron beam therapy.

Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) in female patients with large or pendulous breasts is usually associated with shaded inframammary folds. In this analysis, 18 patients with cutaneous malignancy and pendulous breasts were irradiated with a radiation bra and five patients received TSEBT without bra. All patients had moderate or severe sagging of the breasts.

Toxicity Reduction after Craniospinal Irradiation via Helical Tomotherapy in Patients with Medulloblastoma: A Unicentric Retrospective Analysis.

: Recent trials with craniospinal irradiation (CSI) via helical Tomotherapy (HT) demonstrated encouraging medulloblastoma results. In this study, we assess the toxicity profile of different radiation techniques and estimate survival rates. : We reviewed the records of 46 patients who underwent irradiation for medulloblastoma between 1999 and 2019 (27 conventional radiotherapy technique (CRT) and 19 HT).

The Role of Radiotherapy for Patients With Thyroid Cancer in the Modern Era.

Background/aim: Thyroid cancer (TC) is a relatively rare malignancy. The mainstay treatment is surgery followed by radioactive iodine (RAI) and medical systemic treatments. The role of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in TC is controversial regarding the survival benefits.

Using Image-guided Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy on Patients With Head and Neck Soft-tissue Sarcoma.

Background: Image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT) is increasingly being used to treat patients with soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) of the head and neck. Although there is no comparison between IMRT and conventional radiation therapy (CRT) concerning their efficacy. In this analysis, we compared CRT and IMRT outcomes for head and neck STS.

A treatment planning study comparing tomotherapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy, Sliding Window and proton therapy for low-risk prostate carcinoma.

Background: Comparing radiation treatment plans to ascertain the optimal intensity-modulated radiation technique for low-risk prostate cancer.

Methods: Treatment plans for 20 randomly selected patients were generated using the same dose objectives. A dosimetric comparison was performed between various intensity-modulated techniques, including protons.
