who examined the COVID-19 protocols of four residency programs in Florida, as well as Tey et al. [19] in Singapore, and Buckstein et al. [5] in New York, we generally found that hypofractionation was encouraged and that patients were triaged by ...
With an increase in the incidence of tumors, radiation therapy (RT) has become an important treatment method [1]. RT improves survival of patients with tumor, but it also involves some inevitable complications of radiation. Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) is one of the most serious ...
The role of biologics in addition to radiation therapy continues to be explored. Attention has focused on improving diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology, and surgical techniques, treatment regimens, and on exploring a role of molecular ... M Aklilu,C Eng - 《Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology》 被...
While the worst accidents can be devastating, most radiation therapy "is very good," Dr. Mettler said. "And while there are accidents, you wouldn't want to scare people to death where they don't get needed radiation therapy." Because New York State is a leader in monitoring radiotherapy ...
“Previously, it was difficult to treat colon cancer with radiation therapy because after surgery, part of the small bowel sometimes collapses into the pelvic area,” says Dr. Maureen Holasek, radiation oncologist at ICCC/ICCI. “Using IMRT, we c...
Over the past 20 years, several proton beam treatment programs have been implemented throughout the United States. Increasingly, the number of new programs under development is growing. Proton beam therapy has the potential for improving tumor control and survival through dose escalation. It also has...
