متن کاملHypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for the treatment of brain metastases.
BACKGROUND This retrospective review evaluated the efficacy and toxicity profiles of various dose fractionations using hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) in the treatment of brain metastases. METHODS Between 2004 and 2007, 36 patients with 66 brain metastases were treated with HSRT. Nine of these subjects were excluded because of the absence of post-treatment magnetic resonance...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiotherapy in the management of painful bone metastases.
More than 100,000 new cases of bone metastases are diagnosed each year, and they present an important clinical problem. They cause significant morbidity and quality-of-life issues in cancer patients. Conventional external-beam radiotherapy is currently the most common method to treat these metastases, with several randomized controlled trials showing no difference in effectiveness between multi...
