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

New techniques permit the delivery of irradiation with a high precision on the tumor, sparing the normal brain tissue. Therefore, the tumor control increased significantly and the side effects are reduced.doi:10.1007/978-3-319-52619-5_12-1Anca-L. Grosu...
These techniques limit dose to surrounding normal tissue in an effort to reduce toxicity; however, despite such improvements, potentially serious side effects related to treatment may occur, requiring urgent management. Objective Radiation-related brain or lung injury in previously irradiated patients may...
Late side effects from radiation therapy take months and sometimes years to show up and usually don’t go away. But not everyone will have them. These problems happen when radiation damages your body. For example, scar tissue can affect the way your lungs or your heart works. Bladder, bowel...
Lung cancer often metastasizes to the brain. Historically, brain metastases have been treated with whole-brain radiation therapy. However, whole-brain radiation is associated with cognitive side-effects and studies of non-small cell lung cancer patients
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...
A strategy for trying to discover associations between SNPs in any human gene and a specific phenotype; for example, patients showing atypically strong side effects after radiotherapy. Bonferroni correction A multiple-comparisons correction that is applied to reduce the chance of spurious ('false-positi...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a mathematical model for computing radiation therapy treatments that could substantially reduce patient side effects while delivering the same results as conventional radiation therapy. Cancer patients who receive radiotherapy to destroy their tumors...
