Recurrences of cervical cancer after definitive radiotherapy often occur at common iliac or para-aortic lymph nodes as marginal lymph node recurrences. Patients with these recurrences have a chance of long-term survival by optimal re-treatment with radiotherapy. However, the re-irradiation often overlaps the initial and the secondary radiotherapy fields and can result in increased normal tissue...

OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with interruption or early discontinuation of treatment in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, because it is believed that such treatment interruption or early discontinuation increases the risk of disease relapse and adversely influences survival. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results...

BACKGROUND Treatment of early-stage Hodgkin's disease is usually tailored in line with prognostic factors that allow for reductions in the amount of chemotherapy and extent of radiotherapy required for a possible cure. METHODS From 1993 to 1999, we identified 1538 patients (age, 15 to 70 years) who had untreated stage I or II supradiaphragmatic Hodgkin's disease with favorable prognostic feat...

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is associated with a poor prognosis in the elderly. Survival has been shown to increase among patients 70 years of age or younger when temozolomide chemotherapy is added to standard radiotherapy (60 Gy over a period of 6 weeks). In elderly patients, more convenient shorter courses of radiotherapy are commonly used, but the benefit of adding temozolomide to a shorter cour...

background: radiation-induced discomfort is frequently observed during pelvic radiotherapy. this study was performed to determine the effect of a green tea tablet to reduce the incidence of radiation-induced diarrhea and vomiting in patients with abdomen and pelvic malignancy. materials and methods: this randomized controlled clinical trial recruited 42 patients with abdomen and pelvic malignan...

Background: Currently, radiotherapy represents the most widely employed therapeutic option in patients with uveal melanoma. Although effects of proton beam on melanoma end ocular tissues have been histologically documented, their appearance at MR imaging is still poorly understood. The purpose our study was to elucidate magnetic resonance (MR) semiotics radiotherapy-induced changes neoplastic a...

Background Chest keloids are a difficult sub-group of scars to treat, likely secondary the high wound tension in area that promotes excessive fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. Excision adjuvant radiotherapy has been demonstrated as an efficacious treatment for general, but no meta-analysis exists support claims chest keloids. This study aims identify rate recurrence after surgic...

Between 1966 and 2001, 1254 patients underwent excision of a bone tumour with endoprosthetic replacement. All patients who had radiotherapy were identified. Their clinical details were retrieved from their records. A total of 63 patients (5%) had received adjunctive radiotherapy, 29 pre-operatively and 34 post-operatively. The mean post-operative Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores of irradiat...

BACKGROUND The SMART trial is a UK-based, multicentre RCT comparing prophylactic radiotherapy and symptom-based (deferred) radiotherapy in 203 patients with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma who had undergone large bore pleural interventions. Using costs and quality of life data collected alongside the clinical trial, we will estimate the cost-effectiveness of prophylactic radiotherapy compared to...
