External radiotherapy of thyroid cancer [PDF]
, 2001 Differentiated thyroid cancer comprises papillary, mixed papillary-follicular and follicular adenocarcinomas. They are mostly hormone-sensitive and respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. The standard treatment is total thyroidectomy. I-

A randomised controlled trial of postoperative radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery in a minimum-risk older population. The PRIME trial. [PDF]
, 2007 OBJECTIVES: To assess whether omission of postoperative radiotherapy in women with 'low-risk' axillary node negative breast cancer (T0-2) treated by breast-conserving surgery and endocrine therapy improves quality of life and is more cost-effective ...

Assessment of the quality of very high-energy electron radiotherapy planning [PDF]
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2016 To assess the quality of very-high energy electron (VHEE) scanning pencil beam radiation therapy in relation to state-of-the-art volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and to determine the extent of its application.We planned five clinical cases with VHEE scanning pencil beams of 100 and 120MeV, equally distributed in a coplanar arrangement around the

Kimura's Disease of the Orbit Successfully Treated with Radiotherapy Alone: A Case Report
Case Reports in Ophthalmology, 2014 We performed radiotherapy in a 28-year-old patient with Kimura's disease of the orbit. Irradiation with 21.6 Gy was administered to the tumor bed with a single dose of 1.8 Gy in 5 weekly fractions delivered via a high-energy linear accelerator (6-MV X ...

Risks posed by neutron contamination in high energy radiotherapy
Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2017 Radiotherapy is a common cancer treatment which aims to use radiation energy to kill tumour cells without damaging healthy tissue. High energy x-rays penetrate tissue deeply, depositing most of their energy beyond the skin and shallow tissues. X-rays with energies above 8 MeV may interact to produce neutrons, to which the patient is then exposed ...

Dosimetry for New Radiation Therapy Approaches Using High Energy Electron Accelerators
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 We have performed dosimetry studies using electron beams with energies up to 50 MeV, which exceed current clinical energy ranges and approaches the bottom end of the very high energy electron range. 50 MeV electron beams can reach deep-seated tumors.
