Context.—For the treatment of a single metastasis to the brain, surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy is more effective than
In these cases radiotherapy is commonly given after initial surgery to remove the tumour, but there is some debate about whether this should be done immediately or used only if the cancer returns. It is known that radiation treatment in the brain causes some damage to normal tissue and the st...

To study the efficacy of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with radiosensitizer in comparison with WBRT alone for patients with brain metastases in terms of overall survival, disease progression, response to treatment and adverse effects of treatment. A me
Radiotherapy resistance is the main cause of treatment failure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which leads to poor prognosis. It is urgent to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying radiotherapy resistance. RNA-seq analysis was applied to five p
Background This multicentric randomized phase II study investigated the feasibility and toxicity of temozolomide (TMZ) added to whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) followed by adjuvant TMZ in patients with multiple brain metastases of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Patients with multiple 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 ...
P13.02 The ambiguity of brain metastasis response to radiotherapy driven by cellular adhesion molecules BACKGROUND: Brain metastases treatments are usually based on surgery and radiation therapies with poor patient survival. Cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) are promiscuous proteins highly involved in ...
All cancers that occur in the neck area between the base of the brain and the collarbone are called head and neck cancers.When treating head and neck cancer with radiation therapy, it is very dangerous to stop it due to side effects, including radiation
