Radiation therapy (RT) is the most important treatment modality following surgery in brain tumors. Most of them respond to radiation administered either in the form of an external beam, or as interstitial implants. Usually, postoperative RT considerably prolongs the recurrence-free survival of the ...
Radiation therapy is used postoperatively as adjunctive therapy to decrease local failure; to delay tumor progression and prolong survival; as a curative treatment; as a therapy that halts further tumor growth; to alter function; and for palliation. Registration of MRI scan data sets with the tr...
Recent advancements in multimodality treatment of gliomas. Gliomas account for the vast majority of malignant adult brain tumors. Even though tremendous effort has been made to optimize treatment of patients with h... K Suchy - 《Future Oncology》 被引量: 54发表: 2011年 Osteoradionecrosis of the...
One clival tumor with the radiographic appearance of a meningioma, developed 30 years post-irradiation for acromegaly. This study unveils considerable delayed sequelae of radiotherapy in a series of adult patients receiving what is considered "safe" treatment for benign brain tumors. Show more...
The study provides evidence that NSPP has the potential to help prevent cognitive decline in people who undergo radiation for the treatment of a brain tumor, without taking away from the efficacy of the radiation treatment. More information:Kruttika Bhat et al, 1-[(4-Nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-ph...
Edward Melian, MD, aradiation oncologistat Loyola and co-author of the study, said patients generally have done very well with radiation treatments. "Although we have identified radiation as a risk factor for meningiomas, radiation remains an important part of the treatment regimen for certain lesi...

Conventional contrast-enhanced MRI is very limited in its ability to differentiate tumor from post-treatment radiation effect (PTRE) in brain tumor patients following radiation therapy. T2*-weighted dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI is a well-established method of advanced functional ...
Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) is being investigated as a technique to deliver a high dose of radiation to a locally advanced tumor while attempting to protect adjacent normal tissues at the time of surgery. It is delivered with applicators and cones attached to the treatment head of ...
Longo and his co-investigators studied the combination of fasting with radiation therapy and with the chemotherapy drug Temozolomide, currently the standard treatment for the treatment of brain tumors in adults after an attempt at surgical removal. ...
