BMJ, 2018 Palliative radiotherapy offers a quick, inexpensive, and effective way of reducing many of the focal symptoms of advanced, incurable cancer, whether these arise from the primary tumour or from metastatic deposits. It can improve quality of life while being associated with limited treatment burden in terms of both hospital attendances and side effects ...

Radiotherapy on hidradenocarcinoma [PDF]
North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2011 Clear cell Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare carcinoma arising from sweat glands. It is an aggressive tumor that most metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and distant viscera; surgery with safe margins is the mainstay of treatment.We report a case of 68-year-old woman who presented with an invasive clear cell hidradenocarcinoma situated in the left parotid ...

Does setup on rectal wall improve rectal cancer boost radiotherapy?
Radiation Oncology, 2018 Background Rectal cancer patients that show a pathological complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, have better prognosis. To increase pCR rates several studies escalate the tumor irradiation dose.

Adaptive radiotherapy: The Elekta Unity MR-linac concept
Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2019 Background and purpose: The promise of the MR-linac is that one can visualize all anatomical changes during the course of radiotherapy and hence adapt the treatment plan in order to always have the optimal treatment.

Phase II trial of preoperative radiochemotherapy with concurrent bevacizumab, capecitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Preoperative radiochemotherapy (RCT) with 5-FU or capecitabine is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Preoperative RCT achieves pathological complete response rates (pCR) of 10-15%.
