Intraoperative Radiation Therapy for Glioblastoma — Indications and Treatment ResultsGlioma, a neoplasm of neuroectodermal origin, is oncopathologically defined as carcinoma in the brain. The most poorly differentiated glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, usually grows in the deep white matter of cerebrum and ...
Proton minibeam radiation therapy (pMBRT) is a novel strategy which has already shown a remarkable reduction in neurotoxicity as to compared with standard proton therapy. Here we report on the first evaluation of tumor control effectiveness in glioma bearing rats with highly spatially modulated proton...

A recent innovation under study in the area of radiation therapy is boron–neutron capture therapy forbraintumor. This form of therapy uses an inactive tracer containing boron, an element with a high absorption rate ofneutron radiation. When the radiopharmaceutical has accumulated in the tumor, the...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential to reduce exposure of the contralateral hippocampus in radiotherapy for glioblastoma using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods Datasets of 27 patients who had received 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for glioblastoma with a pres...
. Gliomas induced by radiation therapy are decidedly unusual, and the first descriptions of this association only appeared in the 1960s. Methods The pertinent literature was reviewed to yield 116 cases in which a glioma developed after radiotherapy for cranial pathologies (included 10 personal cases ...
The optimal fractionation schedule of radiotherapy (RT) for Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is yet to be determined. We aim to compare different fractionation regimens and identify prognostic factors to better tailor RT for newly diagnosed GBM patients. All data for patients who underwent surgery for ...
A 32-year-old man developed an intracranial glioblastoma multiforme 10 years after irradiation for an incompletely resected convexity meningioma. The association of these two tumors is exceedingly rare. Therefore, we propose that this is a case of radiation-induced glioma and review the evidence suppo...
Prospective Randomized Trial of Low- Versus High-Dose Radiation Therapy in Adults With Supratentorial Low-Grade Glioma: Initial Report of a North Central C... To compare survival and toxicity in adult patients treated with low-dose (50.4 Gy/28 fractions) versus high-dose (64.8 Gy/36 fractions...
However, images for treatment plan in radiation therapy are often required to contain the whole body outline for optimal dose planning. Due to the finite size of bore dimension of a CT simulator it is not unusual to encounter a situation where some parts of tissues are not included in the ...
