Summary Central nervous system (CNS) involvement and relapse remains a clinical challenge in the management of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), and studies among adult ALL patients are scarce. We identified all adult ALL patients in Sweden between 2007 and 2022 (n = 838) from the population‐based ALL register and evaluated factors associated with ...

Craniospinal axis irradiation: an improved electron technique for irradiation of the spinal axis
Abstract In this work we review the dosimetric features of craniospinal axis irradiation in the areas of matching cranial and spinal fields, with reference to the normal structures within the spinal field. The implications of the use of photon or electron modalities for the spinal port were evaluated.

Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) from breast cancer is usually a rapidly fatal condition, with median overall survival reported to be 15 weeks. Conventional treatment for LMD includes craniospinal irradiation and intrathecal (IT) methotrexate.

Metachronous Pineal Germinoma 11 Years After Total Resection of a Mature Teratoma
ABSTRACT Central nervous system germ cell tumors are uncommon and include germinomas, teratomas, and other nongerminomatous germ cell tumors. Mature teratomas are usually cured by complete resection, but rare patients later develop a histologically distinct malignant germ cell tumor.

The Parotid Gland is an Underrecognized Organ at Risk for Craniospinal Irradiation
Purpose: Current craniospinal irradiation (CSI) protocols do not include the parotid gland as an organ at risk, potentially leading to late effects of xerostomia and secondary parotid malignancies. We analyzed the effect of CSI treatment parameters on parotid dose.

PurposeMedulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in children. To date, the treatment of average-risk (non-metastatic, completely resected) medulloblastoma includes craniospinal radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy.

In-situ observation and atomic resolution imaging of the ion irradiation induced amorphisation of graphene [PDF]
Ion irradiation has been observed to induce a macroscopic flattening and in-plane shrinkage of graphene sheets without a complete loss of crystallinity.
