Intraoperative Radiation Therapy
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2007Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is the delivery of irradiation at the time of an operation. This is performed by different techniques including intraoperative electron beam techniques and high-dose rate brachytherapy. IORT is usually given in combination with external-beam radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy and surgical resection ...

Palliative treatment of the human with incurable cancer must be directed to the relief of symptoms or signs already caused by or associated with the neoplasm or anticipated in the immediate future course of the disease. Relief of suffering remains distinct and often exclusive from prolongation of life.

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 ...

Intraoperative radiation therapy
International Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2001The modern use of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) was initiated by the studies of Abe and colleagues at the University of Kyoto. This work stimulated significant laboratory and clinical investigation into the use of IORT throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States.

Radiation therapy (RT) is an integral part of treating all stages of lung cancer. Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) has emerged as a standard treatment option for stage I-II patients with medically inoperable disease. Stage IIIA-IIIB disease is typically managed with definitive concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CRT).

Abstract Radiation therapy is a therapeutic option in the treatment of many childhood cancers. It involves the use of high-energy waves and/or matter that injure and kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be delivered to a patient via external, internal, and systemic methods.

Cancer, 1985
Current interest in attempting to identify any therapeutic advantages of beams of heavy particles (heavier than electrons) over photons is based on differences in physical absorption and radiobiologic interactions. The article discusses: dose distributions in tissue, which are markedly different for particles than for high energy photons and so may be ...

Radiation Oncology—External-Beam Radiation Therapy
Health Physics, 2019Abstract The application of structural shielding design techniques and goals as outlined in the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements Report 151, Structural Shielding Design and Evaluation for Megavoltage X- and Gamma-Ray Radiotherapy Facilities (2005), continues to be the basis for treatment vault design in 2018 with some

Abstract: For the majority of patients with non-metastatic breast cancer, radiation therapy (RT) plays an integral role as part of breast-conserving therapy and in the post-mastectomy setting. RT reduces the risk of local and regional recurrence and, albeit to a lesser degree, distant recurrence and mortality. Improvements in RT-based planning/delivery
