Radiation hyperthermia treatment, also known as thermal therapy, is a specialized technique used in radiation oncology to enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy by raising the temperature of the targeted tumor or cancerous tissue. The CPT code range 77600-77615 is dedicated tocodingand billing ...
The term “intraoperative radiation therapy” may also refer to intra-operative brachytherapy, the temporary or permanent implantation of radioactive seeds.Intra-operative radiation therapy is usually a component of a multi-disciplinary treatment approach for localized cancers that can not be completely ...
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is an overgrowth of bone that frequently occurs after a bone fracture (break). It commonly occurs in patients who have fractured bones of the spine, hip, or elbow. It causes pain and disability. Radiation therapy is a local treatment modality that works by damagin...
Payment may be allowed for one set of treatment devices per separate port at the beginning of radiation therapy, but opposing ports are billed as one unless they differ significantly. 3. What CPT code is used for simple treatment devices?
SpaceOAR Hydrogel is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel designed to temporarily create space between the prostate and rectum, and reduce the radiation dose delivered to the rectum during radiation therapy.1,2It has been clinically shown to help reduce the side effects of radiation the...
Metastatic prostate cancer remains a therapeutic challenge. Based on data of the STAMPEDE trial, patients with a low metastatic burden showed prolonged failure-free and overall survival when treated with prostate radio therapy (RT) in addition to standar
摘要: PurposeThe objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of reducing therapy, while maintaining treatment efficacy, in the context of a cooperative group clinical trial that allowed for clinical staging in early stage Hodgkin disease (HD).关键词:...

Introduction Radiation therapy is a highly effective tool in cancer treatment widely used for a variety of malignant tumors [1–3]. Approximately 50% of all cancer patients undergo radiation treatment...
One option for these patients is radiosurgery, which is the precise delivery of radiation therapy to a limited tumor volume [3,4]. Additionally, other types of ablation therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), are promising. Used alone or as part of multi-modal therapy, PDT can help ...
