What's needed in radiotherapy research? People thought they were going to make radiotherapy obsolete so there's been a huge gap in research and funding over the last 10–20 years. But radiotherapy is the second most effective modality in curing cancer next to surgery, and technical advances me...
Radiotherapy for brain metastases from renal cell cancer: Should whole ⁃ brain radiotherapy be added to stereotactic radiosurgery?Analysis of 88 patients [J]. Strahlenther Onkol,2010,186(4):210- 217.Fokas, E.; Henzel, M.; Hamm, K.; Surber, G.; Kleinert, G.; Engenhart-Cabillic, R. ...
"These results are dramatic and we hope our experience influences how physicians treat patients with recurrentbrain cancer," said study co-author David Andrews, M.D., professor of Neurological Surgery and Co-Director of the Stereotactic Radiosurgery Program. "We will need to design a randomized cl...
Genomic predictors of radiation response: recent progress towards personalized radiotherapy for brain metastases Article Open access 18 December 2024 Radiogenomics: a key component of precision cancer medicine Article 06 July 2023 Radiosensitivity index emerges as a potential biomarker for combined radi...
Breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) has a devastating impact on patient survival, cognitive function and quality of life. Radiotherapy remains the standard management of BM but may result in considerable neurotoxicity. Herein, we describe the current knowledge on methods for reducing radiation-induced...
“I had a brain cancer specialist sit in my living room and tell me that he would never take radiation if he had a brain tumor. And I asked him, ‘but, do you send people for radiation?’ and he said, of course. ‘I’d be drummed out of the hospital if I didn’t.” ...
Radiotherapy for brain metastases: Quo vadis? Yomo and Hayashi reported results of stereotactic radiosurgery alone for brain metastases from small cell lung cancer. This strategy aims to avoid the neurocognitive effects of whole-brain radiation therapy. However, radiosurgery alone i... E Ojerholm,II...
We will then discuss a general framework for prioritizing cancer care, emphasizing the precautionary principle in decision making. Timothy P. Hanna , Gerald A. Evans & Christopher M. Booth Review Article | 20 February 2020 Current approaches to the management of brain metastases Brain ...
Radiotherapy and targeted therapy are essential treatments for patients with brain metastases from human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, the combination of radiotherapy and targeted therapy still needs to be investigated, and neurotoxicity induced by radiotherapy ...
Head and neck cancer is a kind of cancer which can be eradicated from radical radiation therapy. However, with best efforts, nearly 40% patients will experience locoregional recurrence. Locoregional recurrence is the main cause of cancer-related death in
