Practical aspects of the application of helical tomotherapy for craniospinal irradiation [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
We investigated the practical aspects of the application of craniospinal irradiation using helical tomotherapy (HT-CSI) by evaluating interfractional setup errors and intrafractional movement during each treatment in 83 patients undergoing HT-CSI between

Dosimetry and efficiency comparison of knowledge-based and manual planning using volumetric modulated arc therapy for craniospinal irradiation [PDF]

Radiology and Oncology
Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) poses a challenge to treatment planning due to the large target, field junction, and multiple organs at risk (OARs) involved. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of knowledge-based planning (KBP) in CSI by

Craniospinal irradiation as part of re-irradiation for children with recurrent medulloblastoma [PDF]

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2021
Abstract Background Many studies have demonstrated in the last years that once medulloblastoma has recurred, the probability of regaining tumor control is poor despite salvage therapy. Although re-irradiation has an emerging role in other relapsed brain tumors, there is a lack of strong data on re-irradiation for medulloblastoma. Methods This

Early outcome after craniospinal irradiation with pencil beam scanning proton therapy for children, adolescents and young adults with brain tumors. [PDF]

, 2023
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children and adolescents and young adults (C-AYAs). Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is an essential treatment component for some malignancies, but it can also lead to important ...
