Investigating the Effects of Radiation Dose on Brain Tumor Treatment Efficacy using Monte Carlo ModelingMehrabi, MohsenMahani, HojjatReports of Radiotherapy & Oncology
This study concerns the effects of microwave on health because they pervade diverse fields of our lives. The brain has been recognized as one of the organs that is most vulnerable to microwave radiation. Therefore, in this article, we reviewed recent stu
Radiation therapy plays an integral part in managing intracranial tumors. While the risk:benefit ratio is considered acceptable for treating malignant tumors, risks of long-term complications of radiotherapy need thorough assessment in adults treated for benign tumors. Many previously reported delayed compl...
The aim of thisstudy was to determine if low doses of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) could augment the effects of radiation in a glioma xenograft model and to evaluate hematological and other parameters that might indicate treatment-related toxicity. Nude mice were injected subcutaneously with C ...
Assessment of the long term effects of primary radiation therapy for brain tumors in children During the past 10 years, some 15 publications have appeared in the English literature on the definitive radiotherapy of prostatic cancer. The long-term fo... Barbara,F.,Danoff,... - International Jou...
This treatment can cause side effects, but they're different for everyone. The ones you have depend on the type of radiation you get, how much you get, the part of your body that gets treatment, and how healthy you are overall.
Pediatric tumors more often require craniospinal irradiation based on their propensity to disseminate within the neuraxis. The spectrum of side effects is broader in the child based on age and extent of treatment: radiation therapy brings increased risk of severe long-term sequelae affecting ...

Around 50% of patients with solid malignant tumours receive radiation therapy with curative or palliative intent at some point in the course of their disease. Early and late side effects limit radiation dose and might affect the long-term health-related quality of life of the patient. The classi...
Both types of radiation therapy are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for cancer treatment. X-ray beams are made up of photons, which are electromagnetic particles that have almost no mass, allowing them to travel all the way through the body, passing through healthy tissue ...
