have reduced treatment toxicity in oncology patients. However, although imaging assessment of tumor response is adapting to atypical responses like tumor flare, expected changes and complications of chemo/radiotherapy are still routinely encountered in post-treatment imaging examinations...
This common treatment uses high-energy particles or waves to destroy or damage cancer cells to keep them from spreading. It might be your only treatment, or you might get it along with surgery or chemotherapy. Radiationitself isn't painful, but afterward, you may have pain, fatigue, and ski...

To address this issue, over the last two decades the addition of either chemotherapy or radiation sensitisers to RT has been explored to improve local control. The evidence for these two treatment options has been has been provided by two randomised trials: the BC2001 trial showed an ...
Chemotherapy regimen On the first day of radiotherapy, all patients take S-1 orally (50 mg bid.), once half an hour after breakfast and once half an hour after dinner, continuously for 4 weeks, followed by a rest period of 2 weeks, with 6 weeks constituting one treatment cycle. After ...
As one of the four major means of cancer treatment including surgery, radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, immunotherapy, RT can be applied to various cancers as both a radical cancer treatment and an adjuvant treatment before or after surgery. Although RT i
None of the previously described patients presenting this syndrome had responded to treatment. We describe a 64-year-old man with meningeal myelomatosis. A favorable response to treatment was produced by radiation therapy administered to the head and by intrathecal and systemic chemotherapy including ...
Conclusion: The results suggest that it is possible to expand haematopoietic cells after irradiation doses at least up to 2 Gy. This suggests a possible use of cell therapy for the treatment of radiation accident victims.doi:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2004.06.083...
There are numerous models that describe tumor growth and treatment response. However, none of the standard models allows simulation and prediction of multi-modality regimen for locally-advanced NSCLC. We developed a mathematical model for the combined treatment of chemotherapy and radiation based on ove...
In this review, we examine the current literature on adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer and discuss the roles of radiation and chemotherapy, particularly in light of these new data and their applicability to the Western population. We highlight some of the ongoing and planned clinical trials in...
