The therapy is performed by a radiation oncologist as external radiation or internal radiation therapy and some patients can receive both kinds of therapy. During external radiation, the patient receives therapy on an outpatient basis in a hospital or clinic 5 days a week for a number a number ...
Experience with the twice-a-day (BID) radiation therapy program for carcinomas of the head and neck areas is presented. The program consists of 1.6 Gy per fraction, two fractions per day with 4 hours between fractions, for 12 days, 5 days a week. After 38.4 Gy, the patient...
This is a report of a group of 106 patients with supraglottic carcinomas treated by the twice-a-day radiation therapy program at the Massachusetts General Hospital from October 1979 through April 1984. The program consisted of 1.6 Gy per fraction, 2 fractions a day, 5 days a week for a ...

After exposure to microwave irradiation (an average power density of 30 mW/m2 for 5 min/d on five days a week for two consecutive months), the expression of NR2B was decreased in rats, the level of Glu was increased in the hippocampus and cerebrospinal fluid, spatial memory ability was ...
The tumor volume was delineated on the planning CT and the CBCT each treatment week. The occurrence or resolving of atelectases and pleural effusion were scored qualitatively. In a third of the lung cancer patients tumor regression was seen over the 5–6-week course of conventional therapy. ...
The regimen of repeated low-doses had a therapeutic effect on tumor growth. In fact, at week 12, tumor volume in the ultra fractionated group was half that of the mice receiving standard therapy (p = 0.0022) [17,26] (Figure 3). Furthermore, a second experiment was conducted to compare...
