Intensified neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer: mono-istitutional experience and long-term results
Background: Purpose: The purpose of our study is to demonstrate that intensified neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), aimed at further enhancing the complete pathological response and local disease control, is feasible and well tolerated. Materials and Methods: From January 2011 to December 2015, 62 patients (women 21, men 41, mean age 61,5, ...
متن کاملThe Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...

متن کاملLocally advanced pancreatic cancer. Looking beyond traditional chemotherapy and radiation.
About a third of all pancreatic cancer is found to be locally advanced at the time of diagnosis, where the tumor is inoperable but remains localized to the pancreas and regional lymphatics. Sadly, this remains a universally deadly disease with progression to distant disease being the predominant mode of failure and average survival under one year. Optimal treatment of these patients continues t...
متن کاملRole of postmastectomy radiation therapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for primary breast cancer is the gold standard in the treatment of locally advanced, inoperable breast cancer, and also based on a large body of evidence has become a standard treatment option for patients with operable disease, who are clear candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy. There are several advantages of administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy: tumor downstaging, ...
