Radiation therapy for angiosarcoma
Head & Neck, 2003AbstractBackground.Between 1964 and 1998, 19 patients with histologically proven angiosarcoma were treated with curative intent with radiation therapy.Methods.Median follow‐up was 37 months (range, 8–234 months).Results.The actuarial 5‐year absolute survival and local control rates were 51% and 50%, respectively.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 ...

JAMA, 1964
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 ...
