Aim: The presence of an elevated copper concentration in cancer cells may be potentially used to differentiate healthy from transformed cells. In this study, we aimed to look at the possible role of (64)CuCl2 PET/CT in staging of patients with prostate cancer (PC).
Methods: Seven patients affected by histologically confirmed PC have been prospectively enrolled.
Purpose: To compare a quasi-volumetric modulated arc therapy (qVMAT) with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of high-grade gliomas. The qVMAT technique is a fast method of radiation therapy in which multiple equispaced beams analogous to those in rotation therapy are radiated in succession.
Patients And Methods: This study included 12 patients with a planning target volume (PTV) that overlapped at least one organ at risk (OAR).

Purpose: To test tangential and not-tangential hybrid intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for whole-breast irradiation.
Methods And Materials: Seventy-eight (36 right-, 42 left-) breast patients were randomly selected. Hybrid IMRT was performed by direct aperture optimization.
Aims And Background: The opposed two-field technique is the standard approach for delivering adjuvant radiotherapy to patients with resected gastric cancer. Since a considerable radiation dose may reach both kidneys with this beam arrangement, with a potential risk of late effects, we investigated whether the CT-based multiple-field (M-F) approach was superior in terms of sparing critical organs at risk.
Methods: From March 2001 to March 2004, 19 patients with radically resected gastric cancer entered the study.
