Growth and Growth Hormone Secretion Following Cranial and Craniospinal Irradiation in Children with Malignant Disease
grow. The Bristol paediatric oncology and paediatric endocrinology services have collaborated to investigate the effects of chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation on the longitudinal growth of survivors. Figure 1 shows the longitudinal height-attained growth chart of a child who grew poorly following treatment for a medulloblastoma. Our experience, and that of others, is that children treate...
متن کاملMethod to plan, administer, and verify supine craniospinal irradiation
Craniospinal irradiation remains an important technique in the management of malignancies of the central nervous system. It is technically demanding, with potential for treatment field overlap or gaps to yield unacceptable dosimetric heterogeneity. A method to accurately simulate and verify the three-field junction is described. We use a comfortable supine position to minimize patient movement....

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...
