RT-35 * ELAPSED DAYS AFTER RADIOTHERAPY FOR GLIOBLASTOMA

Advances in Radiotherapy for Glioblastoma

External beam radiotherapy (RT) has long played a crucial role in the treatment of glioblastoma. Over the past several decades, significant advances in RT treatment and image-guidance technology have led to enormous improvements in the ability to optimize definitive and salvage treatments. This review highlights several of the latest developments and controversies related to RT, including the t...

Prolonged exposure to doxorubicin after radiotherapy in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma growth modeling for radiotherapy target delineation

Radiotherapy treatment planning requires a localization of the tumor within the patient. This is challenging to accomplish for microscopic infiltrative spread of disease that is not visible on current imaging modalities. Prime examples for infiltrative tumors are gliomas. With the help of mathematical models, common growth characteristics of gliomas, which are known from histopathological studi...

Radiotherapy using IMRT boosts after hyperbaric oxygen therapy with chemotherapy for glioblastoma

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) boosts after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy with chemotherapy in patients with glioblastoma. Twenty-four patients with glioblastoma were treated with the combined therapy, which was RT using IMRT boosts after HBO with chemotherapy, and were retrospectively a...

Glioblastoma multiforme after stereotactic radiotherapy for acoustic neuroma: case report and review of the literature.

Indications for the use of radiotherapy in the management of a variety of benign intracranial neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathologies are increasing. Although the short-term risks are minimal, the long-term risks of radiation-induced de novo secondary neoplasms or malignant progression of the primary benign tumor need to be considered. There are currently 19 reported cases of tumors linked wit...
