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.

Radiation Therapy of Neuroblastoma
Radiology, 1957The prognosis of children with neuroblastoma has shown remarkable improvement in recent years. All of the early reports emphasized the rapid course and fatal termination. Farber (5), in 1940, was the first to report that cures could be obtained. Despite the bizarre natural history of this neoplasm, which includes spontaneous regression (2, 7, 22) and ...

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 ...

Because most patients with epithelial ovarian cancer have advanced disease at the time of initial diagnosis, radiation therapy usually does not play a major role in their treatment. Although ovarian carcinomas appear to be no less sensitive to radiation therapy than Müllerian carcinomas arising in other sites, the dose of radiation required to control ...

Radiation Therapy in the Elderly
The Cancer Journal, 2005The purpose of this review is to highlight aspects of radiation oncology specifically related to aging and caring for the older patient with cancer. Particular emphasis is placed on the preclinical and clinical studies focusing on the efficacy and toxicity of RT in this population.

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 in the Horse
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1998This article covers the principles and applications of radiation therapy in horses. The goal in treating tumors by irradiation is tumor control with minimum treatment complications. Various treatment techniques are available to achieve this goal. The prognosis depends on many factors such as the extent and location of the tumor, tumor type and tumor ...

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).

Hyperparathyroidism and Radiation Therapy
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1978Hypercalcaemic hyperparathyroidism has been diagnosed more commonly in recent years. This reflects an increasing awareness of and a growing interest in the disease. In the search for possible aetiologic mechanisms behind the development of parathyroid adenomata, certain environmental factors have been suggested.
