Clinical outcomes with high-dose-rate surface mould brachytherapy for intra-oral and skin malignancies involving head and neck region [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose : The literature and experience of high-dose-rate (HDR) surface mould brachytherapy (SMB) in head and neck cancer is sparse. We report our institutional experience of SMB for such tumours.

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Second Breast‐Conserving Treatment for Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence: A Review of Patient Selection, Reirradiation Techniques, and Clinical Outcomes

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local recurrence after primary breast cancer treatment remains a complex clinical scenario in patients previously treated with breast‐conserving therapy and radiotherapy. For decades, salvage mastectomy was considered the standard treatment for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, largely because of concerns about local control after repeat ...

Pulsed dose rate brachytherapy – is it the right way? [PDF]

, 2010
Pulsed dose rate (PDR-BT) treatment is a brachytherapy modality that combines physical advantages of high-doserate (HDR-BT) technology (isodose optimization, radiation safety) with the radiobiological advantages of low-dose-rate (LDR-BT) brachytherapy ...
