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...

Background: Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) of medulloblastoma poses technological challenges due to the involvement of large treatment volume. Commonly, the whole treatment length is covered with two different isocentric plans in which the junction is shifted after every five fractions to overcome the possibility of hot and cold spot.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dosimetrically and cli...

Craniospinal is known as the method to kill cancer within a wide radiation area, starting from cranial spinal nervous system. In case, has spread through fluid of cerebro spinalis, such medulloblastoma. We carried out research determine isodose curve in medulloblastoma craniospinal patients and DVH (Dose Volume Histogram) statistic OAR (Organ at Risk) by using 3D-CRT radiotherapy technique. To ...

Between 1972 and 1974, Childrens Cancer Study Group enrolled 724 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia on a single randomized clinical trial. Study CCG-101 was designed to test four types of presymptomatic central nervous system and sanctuary therapies consisting of (a) 2400-rad craniospinal radiation therapy (RT) plus 1200-rad extended-field RT, which included the liver, s...
