Radiation therapy is a main pillar in the multimodal treatment of gliomas. However, application of radiation has to be adapted to the distinct characteristics of the various glioma subtypes, with respect to dosing, time-point of irradiation, choice of treatment technique, and more recently, of radiation quality.Treatment of low-grade gliomas has been ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1997
Since the infancy of radiology and radiation therapy, reactions to radiation have been noted and followed, and attempts have been made to minimize these reactions. We have turned to radiobiologists to explain these reactions and to radiation oncologists to prevent or decrease the normal tissue effects of radiation therapy.

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy
Critical Reviews™ in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 2012Radiation therapy has been used to treat cancers for over one hundred years. Over the last century our understanding of the biology of radiation exposure as well as our ability to safely deliver extraordinarily high doses of radiation to specific targets has led to its routine use in both curative and palliative settings for most solid tumors.

Radiation therapy in craniopharyngiomas
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1983Eighteen patients with cranipharyngiomas, who were studied and treated between 1970-1980, are presented. Each patient was treated with surgery and radiotherapy (50-60 Gy). Six patients were treated with radiotherapy because the tumor recurred after surgery. An extensive representation of the clinical symptomatology typical of this tumor was seen.

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2008
The rising cost of health care is of universal concern. If the cost effectiveness of conventional and novel radiotherapeutic strategies is to be established we need to have confidence in our estimates of both cost and effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to explore the degree of consistency of recently published cost estimates for radiation ...

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1949
METHOD OF APPLICATION IN THE treatment of certain diseases of the eye, beta radiation from decay products of radium is made use of by means of a beta ray applicator. Radon is sealed in a small glass sphere (fig. 2, R) in the applicator. The diameter of this sphere is about 4 mm. and the thickness of the wall about 0.1 mm. The glass sphere is inserted

Seminars in Oncology, 2005
Radiation is an effective modality to aid in symptom management of patients with metastatic disease. The type and duration of treatment depends on the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of the patient and type and status of the cancer. Abbreviated treatment regimens may be favored in this patient population.

Radiation therapy and cystectomy
Urology, 1984TABLE 1. Five-year survival experiences oj patients with bladder carcinoma treated by cystectomy and a delay, in some protocols," of four more weeks before cystectomy, some groups moved to a lesser dose given in a week, followed by prompt cystectorny." This therapeutic plan has received acceptance in some centers and rejection in others.

Radiation Therapy of Acromegaly
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1992Conventional megavoltage irradiation of GH-secreting tumors has predictable effects on tumor mass, GH, and pituitary function. 1. Further growth of the tumor is prevented in more than 99% of patients, with only a fraction of a percent of patients requiring subsequent surgery for tumor mass effects. 2. GH falls predictably with time. By 2 years GH falls

Radiation therapy in acromegaly
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007Radiation therapy is generally not a primary treatment modality for growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas. However, in patients with acromegaly refractory to medical and/or surgical interventions, radiation can offer durable tumor control and often biochemical remission.
