The efficacy and outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy in adrenal gland metastases.

Aim: This retrospective study presents our single-institutional experience with stereotactic body radiotherapy for adrenal gland metastases.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated patients with adrenal metastases treated by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) from 2014 to 2020. We performed an analysis of 35 patients.

Adjuvant radiotherapy for gastric carcinoma: 10 years follow-up of 244 cases from a single institution.

Background: Postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) of gastric carcinoma improves survival among high- risk patients. This study was undertaken to analyse long-term survival probability and the impact of certain covariates on the survival outcome in affected individuals.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2005, 244 patients with gastric cancer underwent adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in our institution.

Prevention of malignant seeding at drain sites by hypofractionated radiotherapy in patients with pleural mesothelioma.

Aim: Unlike most other malignancies, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a tendency to recur along tracks of chest wall instrumentation. We investigated the efficiency of hypofractionated radiotherapy for prevention of malignant seeding.

Methods: Twenty-one (six female, 15 male) patients diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma who had chest wall instrumentation and were treated with prophylactic radiotherapy were investigated retrospectively.

Clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with stage III esophageal carcinoma: a single-center experience from Turkey.

Esophageal carcinoma is an extremely deadly disease, and prognosis is poor. We retrospectively evaluated stage III esophageal carcinoma patients in our center. Median age of the patients was 52.

Pentoxifylline and alpha-tocopherol in prevention of radiation-induced lung toxicity in patients with lung cancer.

Combined use of pentoxifylline and vitamin E is reported to reduce radiation-induced toxicity in normal tissues at molecular level. We plan to evaluate the role of combined use of pentoxifylline (PTX) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E; Vit E) for minimizing radiation-induced lung toxicity. A total of 91 lung cancer patients were randomized.
