Radiotherapy (or radiation therapy) uses ionizing radiation to selectively kill cancer cells, especially for solid tumours. Like surgery, it is meant to be a 'local' treatment, although its beneficial systemic effects are being discovered. It is most commonly used in addition to surgery (adjuvant...
Radiotherapy of penile cancer In addition, palliative radiotherapy of the primary tumor, lymph node, or distant metastases is of use for incurable patients.New combined therapies, e.g... Mahlmann, B,C Doehn,Feyerabend, T - 《Der Urologe》 被引量: 1发表: 2001年 [Treatment results of surgica...

Radiotherapy can be used as curative or palliative treatment across all stages of disease. Technological advances have allowed better radiotherapy targeting of tumours and reduced incidental irradiation of surrounding normal tissues. This has expanded the indications for radiotherapy in lung cancer and ...
Radioresistance remains a challenge in the treatment of bladder cancer. In this study, the authors show in mice that radiation increases deposits of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) via a TLR4-dependent mechanism and that NETs-targeting strategies can improve the response to radiotherapy. ...

In recent years, interest has grown throughout the radiotherapy community in investigation and clinical application of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. IMRT removes the usual reliance on flat (or uniform-intensity) radiation fields, and instead replace...
RADIOTHERAPY, ALSO KNOWN as radiation therapy, is a treatment where ionizing x-ray and gamma ray radiation are directed at tumors and used to kill cancer cells. Blasting cells with radiation stops them from growing and multiplying, but it also damages every other cell in its path and sets in...
(TNM) version 7 staging system, Extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is defined as the IV stage small cell lung cancer and IIIB stage small cell lung caner which has metastatic nodes outside the thorax and cannot be safely encompassed within a tolerable radiotherapy treatment plan...
Conventional radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, has been used to treat patients with advanced-stage pancreatic cancer, an approach with high rates of local recurrence. Stereotactic body radiation therapy, also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy has emerged as a treatment modality that ...
