It is well known that significant variations in stomach size, shape, and respiratory motion lead to uncertainties in target localization during treatment for gastric lymphoma. In this study, the usefulness of 4D-CT for radiation planning of gastric MZBCL/MALT was evaluated. Treatment planning using 4DCT (plan A) and conventional planning with a uniform margin (plan B) were compared using dose v...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Delineation of clinical target volumes (CTVs) is a weak link in radiation therapy (RT), and large inter-observer variation is seen in breast cancer patients. Several guidelines have been proposed, but most result in larger CTVs than based on conventional simulator-based RT. The aim was to develop a delineation guideline obtained by consensus between a broad European group...
BACKGROUND To dosimetrically evaluate the effect of reduced margin radiotherapy on hippocampal dose for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. METHODS GBM patients enrolled on the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0825 trial at our institution were identified. Standard RTOG 0825 expansions were 2 cm + 3-5 mm from the gross tumor volume (GTV) to the clinical tumor volume (CTV) and from ...
Purpose To report an innovative technique of interstitial brachytherapy developed for treatment of orbital soft tissue tumors. Material and methods A 4-month-old child diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma of orbit was treated with multiagent chemotherapy (CTh) and brachytherapy. Pre-planning computed tomography (CT) images were obtained and clinical target volume (CTV) was defined using the pre-tr...
Viruses have evolved as combinations of genes whose products interact with cellular components to produce progeny virus throughout the plants. Some viral genes, particularly those that are involved in replication and assembly, tend to be relatively conserved, whereas other genes that have evolved for interactions with the specific host for movement and to counter host-defense systems tend to be...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes among patients treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with daily image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for head and neck cancer according to the margins used to expand the clinical target volume (CTV) to create a planning target volume (PTV). METHODS Three hundred sixty-seven consecutive patients were treated with IMRT for sq...
Citrus tristeza is one of the most destructive diseases of citrus and its causing agent CTV was introduced from Japan to northern Iran in the late 1960s. After about three decades of restriction to originally infected Satsuma trees, natural spread of CTV has being undertaken and melon aphid (Aphis gossypii Glov.) was confirmed as a potent vector in these areas. Regarding the specificity of aphi...
In radiation therapy planning, uncertainties in target volume definition yield a risk of underdosing the tumor. The classical way to prevent this in the context of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) has been to expand the clinical target volume (CTV) with an isotropic margin to obtain the planning target volume (PTV). However, the EBRT-based PTV concept is not directly applicable to brachytherap...
Helical tomotherapy (HT) can potentially be used for lung cancer treatment including stereotactic radiosurgery because of its advanced image guidance and its ability to deliver highly conformal dose distributions. However, previous theoretical and simulation studies reported that the effect of respiratory motion on statically planned tomotherapy treatments may cause substantial differences betw...
OBJECTIVES To explore the areas at highest risk for postoperative pancreatic cancer local recurrence according to the spatial location of local failures, with the aim to provide a precise target volume for pancreatic cancer adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODS Patients with pancreatic cancer who had undergone surgery for the primary tumor in pancreas at our institution from January 2010 to August 2...
