Radiotherapy is a treatment of carcinogenic tumors using ionising radiation and the improvement radiotherapy techniques has been conducted to protection healthy tissues. Recent implementations have employed static fields with small dimensions. The interests for this work were fields, used in modern such as Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRS) Intensity Modulated (IMRT).

BACKGROUND Depending on the cause, 40-90% of every deep dermis insult ends up in scar formation. Several modalities have been suggested as a treatment but a high rate of recurrence is reported in most of those interventions. High dose radiotherapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the recurrence rate. This study tried to determine the effectiveness of low dose rate radiotherapy follow...

Introduction. In locally advanced cancers of the cervix, endometrium and vulva, radiotherapy is primary treatment modality. recent years, new modern techniques external radiation have been developed in oncology, with goal dose escalation to target volume, while sparing healthy tissues. The aim this study determine impact volumetric modulated arc therapy on clinical outcomes patients gynecologic...

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the main therapeutic strategies used in cervical cancer. The first radiotherapy services Cameroon have existed since 1987 and still treat by conventional radiation techniques. With evolution techniques, acute, subacute, late complications are minimized. Our study aimed to describe profile side effects patients with uterine cervix cancer treated radiotherapy, o...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate whether pelvic radiotherapy for rectal cancer had a negative impact on cobalamin status. METHODS AND MATERIALS Consecutive patients receiving pelvic radiotherapy (50 Gy) for rectal cancer were evaluated prospectively (n = 54). Serum cobalamin, holotranscobalamin (holoTC), methylmalonic acid (MMA), and total homocysteine (tHcy) were measured at s...

Concomitant chemoradiotherapy is established as the standard treatment to improve the prognosis of several types of solid tumor, but has not been the general practice for hematological malignancies. Here, I report two cases of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) with a radiotherapy-resistant bulky disease treated with concomitant radiotherapy and two topoisomerase inhibitors: etoposide (VP-16) and irin...

The role of radiotherapy in the management of perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is not well defined in clinical practice or within the medical literature. We present 6 cases, document the radiotherapy details and review our results. A comprehensive literature search has been undertaken attempting to identify all published cases of PPD and survey the number receiving radiotherapy. To further define...

PURPOSE To evaluate outcome and morbidity in patients with vulvar cancer treated with radiotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy or postoperative radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of 24 patients treated with radiotherapy for vulvar cancer between July 1993 and September 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received once daily 1.8-4 Gy fractions external beam radiothe...

Background: The incidence of malignancy in elderly population India has risen due to increased life expectancy, health awareness, and access tertiary care. Radiotherapy is the primary treatment modality cancer patients morbidity surgery. We reviewed analyzed clinical, disease profiles geriatric treated with conventional radiotherapy at our institute. Methodology: clinical records aged 70 years ...

  Background and Objective: Esophageal cancer especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common gastro intestinal malignancies in north part of Iran (Khorasan). The standard treatment for esophageal cancer is surgical resection, but its outcome remains poor. Then, the oncologists try to treat this cancer with sandwich protocols especially neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. Sever...
