How successful is high-dose (> or = 60 Gy) reirradiation using mainly external beams in salvaging local failures of nasopharyngeal carcinoma? Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 1998; 40 :897–13. doi: 10.1016/S0360-3016(97)00854-7. [ Cross Ref ]...
In early and intermediate stage HD, for example, the minimal risk of leukaemia after successful radiotherapy (RT) must be weighed against the increased risk after treatment failure and subsequent salvage therapy. Thus, the difference of expected risk of leukaemia between RT and combined modality ...
Information about the types of radiotherapy, surgical procedures, and the status of chemotherapy was later included in the program. One of the main targets of the SEER program is to record cancer incidences and mortality rates for the entire US population. To provide insight into the potential ...
or irradiation, is useful in fighting cancer because it destroys cancer cells more easily than normal cells. Radiotherapy is commonly delivered with an external beam of x-rays, gamma rays or alpha and beta particles directed at the tumor. Radioactive pellets or wires can also be used internally...
As intended, it unsettled me until I heard that I had in fact been successful. Essentially all four of us had been ‘busted back to private’ in another first-day-at-school experience to add to all the rest a medical career hands out. Worse, we had no radiology skills to offer in ...

cytotoxic agents, immunotherapy, and targeted agents. The use of BMAs in the curative and adjuvant cancer setting is increasing, consequently the implication of MRONJ is growing. Over the past 20 years, the literature has consolidated major risk factors for MRONJ, the pathophysiology and management...
EBV infection is related to several diseases, so there is a high demand for an effective prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine. Unlike other herpesviruses like the Varicella-Zoster virus, the vaccine development process for EBV is not very successful. Various vaccine strategies are undergoing clinical ...
Major changes have taken place within the last few years in the management of follicular lymphoma (FL) leading to substantial improvement in prognosis and overall survival. For some patients with limited disease stages I and II, radiotherapy may be assoc
The patch is designed to break down over time to allow space for the healthy tissue to grow. It is expected that this invention will also be improved by the addition of growth factors or drugs to encourage tissue regeneration. The patch has been successful in rats and pigs, and researchers...
