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 ...

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...
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...
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...
