Kinetic 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 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....

متن کاملSuccessful pregnancy and normal delivery after whole craniospinal irradiation in two patients.
BACKGROUND Two cases of normal pregnancies and deliveries after whole craniospinal irradiation (WCSI) are described, and whether the ovaries can be left out of the WCSI field by identifying ovarian position using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS The distance between the upper edge of the pubic symphysis and the central part of the ovary was measured on MRI...
