The clinical outcome correlations between radiation dose and pretreatment metabolic tumor volume for radiotherapy in head and neck cancer

This study was to investigate the clinical outcomes between radiation dose and pretreatment metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in patients with head and neck cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.Thirty-four patients received pretreatment F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) were recruited for this study. The CT-based volume (gross tumor vo...

Head and neck cancer: how imaging predicts treatment outcome

Sophisticated imaging methods, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, play an increasingly important role in the management of head and neck cancer. Pretreatment imaging findings have predictive value for patient outcome, independently from the currently used TNM classification, and may be used to tailor treatment to the individual patient. Bas...

Impact of tumor volume and systemic therapy on outcome in patients undergoing IMRT for large volume head neck cancer

BACKGROUND Former prospective analyses revealed gross tumor volume (GTV) as the most reliable parameter to statistically significantly predict disease control in head neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with definitive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) +/-concomitant systemic therapy. The most 'unfavourable' subgroup was characterized by total GTV (tGTV) of > 70 cc, translating in ~50...

Socioeconomic deprivation predicts outcome following radial head and neck fractures.

INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence demonstrating an association between fracture epidemiology and socioeconomic status. However, the influence of socioeconomic deprivation on fracture outcome has not been documented before. The aim of this study was to determine if socioeconomic deprivation influenced the short-term outcome following a fracture of the radial head or neck. METHODS We id...
