The goal of this book chapter is to discuss the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of patients with brain metastases. 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...
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...

What are the Side Effects of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy? The side effects that patient’s may experience depend upon which area of your brain has been treated, along with the amount of radiotherapy given during each dose. In most cases, patients will experience only some common, short-term...
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...
Radiation therapy treatscancerby using high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. The goal is to destroy or damage the cancer without hurting too many healthy cells.It is given over a certain time period; it can be given around the time of surgery or chemotherapy. It can also be used to ease...
Brain tumors are the second most common malignancy of childhood after acute lymphocytic leukemia. Improvements in therapy have led to increased survival. I... Donahue B. - 《Pediatr Neurosurg》 被引量: 93发表: 1992年 The long-term side effects of radiation therapy for benign brain tumors in ...
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...
Because the antibodies do not attack healthy cells, the possibility of radiation damage outside the tumor drops.What it's used forRadiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain....
Background The advent of modern radiation techniques, such as intensity modulated and stereotactic ablative radiation therapy, has permitted increasingly accurate delivery of radiation, with ability to shape distribution of dose specifically to the tumor. These techniques limit dose to surrounding normal ti...
