Radiation therapy is commonly used to alleviate the pain associated with bone metastases. This article reviews the components of the radiation oncology evaluation. The options for use of ionizing radiation including postoperative treatment, limited-volume external beam radiotherapy, wide-field radiotherapy, and radioisotope therapy are compared and ...

Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy
Current Oncology Reports, 2013Many women undergo mastectomy as treatment of their breast cancer either because of personal preference or because of tumor-related factors making mastectomy the preferred surgical option. The use of postmastectomy radiation therapy has been shown to decrease the risk of local recurrence and in some cases improve overall survival.

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.

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.

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2004
RT is an indispensable part of current treatment approaches of locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC. It can be used alone or in combination with surgery or CHT. Because RT can potentially cure some patients, prolong the life of others, and reduce symptoms in the majority of them, it is a unique treatment modality in this disease. Radiation oncologists

Radiology, 1974
Physical, technical, radiological, and clinical status of proton therapy is reviewed. Protons produce effects similar to those of x rays, but dose distribution and range make protons more flexible and useful therapeutically. The ability to confine the major fraction of proton absorbed dose to a designated volume allows the decrease of dose to normal ...

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.

Medical Physics, 1992
It is proposed to carry out radiotherapy and radiosurgery for brain lesions by crossfiring an array of parallel, closely spaced microbeams of synchrotron‐generated x rays several times through an isocentric target, each microbeam in the array having an ≊25‐μm‐wide adjustable‐height rectangular cross section.

Targeted therapies are applied to increase the efficiency of antitumor treatment by simultaneously decreasing side effects. This can be achieved using carrier molecules which specifically bind to target structures or areas with remodeling activity. These carrier molecules may be coupled to chemotherapeutic drugs or to radioactive isotopes.

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
