Carbon ion radiotherapy for mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Mesonephric adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare subtype of uterine cervical cancer that is associated with a poor prognosis and for which a standardized treatment protocol has not been established. Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is an emerging

Sacral Ulcer after Carbon Ion Radiotherapy Reconstructed with a Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. As carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) was developed only recently, reports of CIRT-induced ulcers requiring plastic surgery are still rare, but the number of such cases is expected to increase.

Defective homologous recombination and genomic instability predict increased responsiveness to carbon ion radiotherapy in pancreatic cancer

npj Precision Oncology
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is notably resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatment. However, clinical trials indicate that carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with concurrent gemcitabine is effective for unresectable locally ...

Using the photon isoeffective dose formalism to compare and combine BNCT and CIRT in a head and neck tumour

Scientific Reports
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a radiotherapy technique based on the enrichment of tumour cells with suitable 10-boron concentration and on subsequent neutron irradiation.

L-[11C]methyl-methionine Positron Emission Tomography for Evaluation of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT) in Patients with Pelvic Recurrence of Rectal Cancer

L-[11C]methyl-methionine Positron Emission Tomography for Evaluation of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT) in Patients with Pelvic Recurrence of Rectal Cancer
Purpose: Progress of the novel carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in the treatment of cancers has created the need for a method to accurately evaluate the response. We investigated whether L-[11C]methyl-methionine (11C–methionine) uptake at pre- and post-CIRT could be an early response predictor in patients with pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer ...

Tc-99m MAG3 Renogram is a Useful Non-Invasive Diagnostic Tool to Evaluate Renal Function After Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT) in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma

Tc-99m MAG3 Renogram is a Useful Non-Invasive Diagnostic Tool to Evaluate Renal Function After Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT) in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma
TEACHING POINTS 1) 99mTc-MAG3 renogram is a useful non-invasive diagnostic tool to evaluate renal function after CIRT in patients with renal cell carcinoma, especially for the assessment of split renal function. 2) With 99mTc-MAG3 renogram, it is possible to detect renal function deterioration of non-irradiated renal parenchyma. 3) Serial assessment of
