RADIATION THERAPY

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2000
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 ...

Radiation Therapy of Craniopharyngioma

Radiology, 1977
The histories of 32 patients with craniopharygioma who had received radiotherapy after surgery were reviewed to assess the effect and adequacy of the radiation dose. The survival rates were 69% at 5 years and 60% at 10 years in all cases, but depended markedly on sex and age.

Radiation Therapy of Pancreatitis

Radiology, 1954
Since acute pancreatitis was first described by Fitz in 1889 (9) the diagnosis and treatment of this disease have presented an ever increasing challenge to internists and surgeons. On the whole, radiologists have not played a significant role in its management.

Microbeam 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.

Radiation therapy

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

Principles of radiation therapy

2016
Although resection remains the mainstay in the treatment of gliomas, microscopically complete resection of most central nervous system tumors remains challenging, and is, in fact, rarely accomplished. Considering their invasive nature, gross total resections to clearly negative margins often do or would require removal or transection of functional ...

Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy

Current Oncology Reports, 2013
Many 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.

The Patient On Radiation Therapy

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1981
Radiation therapy is the treatment of disease, usually cancer, by the use of ionizing radiation. The aim of radiotherapy is to kill the malignant cells or to render them permanently incapable of further cell division and to do this without producing excessive damage to the surrounding normal tissue.
