The risk of developing a second cancer after receiving craniospinal proton irradiation.
The purpose of this work was to compare the risk of developing a second cancer after craniospinal irradiation using photon versus proton radiotherapy by means of simulation studies designed to account for the effects of neutron exposures. Craniospinal irradiation of a male phantom was calculated for passively-scattered and scanned-beam proton treatment units. Organ doses were estimated from tre...
متن کاملEffects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation on the spine of young pediatric patients with medulloblastoma
PURPOSE To investigate the long-term effects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI) on the spine of young patients with medulloblastoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Six children between the ages of 3 and 5 years with medulloblastoma were treated with vertebral-body-sparing proton CSI after maximal safe resection. Radiation therapy was delivered in the supine position with p...
متن کاملStandardized treatment planning methodology for passively scattered proton craniospinal irradiation
BACKGROUND As the number of proton therapy centers increases, so does the need for studies which compare proton treatments between institutions and with photon therapy. However, results of such studies are highly dependent on target volume definition and treatment planning techniques. Thus, standardized methods of treatment planning are needed, particularly for proton treatment planning, in whi...
متن کاملKinetic modeling of tumor growth and dissemination in the craniospinal axis: implications for craniospinal irradiation
BACKGROUND Medulloblastoma and other types of tumors that gain access to the cerebrospinal fluid can spread throughout the craniospinal axis. The purpose of this study was to devise a simple multi-compartment kinetic model using established tumor cell growth and treatment sensitivity parameters to model the complications of this spread as well as the impact of treatment with craniospinal radiot...
متن کاملRisk estimation of cardiac toxicity following craniospinal irradiation of pediatric patients
Material and Methods: From 2006-2013 801 patients with early stage NSCLC were treated with CBCT guided SBRT (median 54 Gy in 3 fractions) in 5 institutes for whom treatment plans were available. 565 patients were analyzed after exclusion of synchronous or metachronous tumors (n=80), follow-up<1y (n=63), or death from cancer (93).An average anatomy was constructed based on 109 patients of the 5 ...
