Low Systemic Inflammation Response Index Predicts Good Prognosis in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma Patients Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy
(2020)
Background. We investigated the prognostic significance of pretreatment systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT). ...
Hybrid Arc Could Combine the Benefits of IMRT and VMAT to Deliver a Fast, Conformal, Homogeneous Treatment in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer without Limitations of Low Dose Bath: A Planning Study
(2017)
Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT, step and shoot) is emerging as the standard of care in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient treatments. Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) delivered with two arcs offers fast and ...
The Feasibility of Sparing the Hippocampus and Hypothalamic -Hypophysial Axis During Whole Brain Radiotherapy: A Dosimetric Study
(2018)
We aimed to investigate the feasibility of simultaneously sparing the hippocampus and hypothalamic-hypophysial axis (HHA) during whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) using helical tomotherapy. Images of totally 12 patients were ...
Effects of Setup Errors on Dose Distribution for Tangential Wedge Field and Field-in-Field Techniques During Breast Irradiation
(2014)
This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of setup errors on dose distribution for target volume and healthy tissue within the irradiated volume and also critical surrounding organs for breast radiotherapy (RT) using ...
The role of PET-CT in the evaluation of the response of the vertebra metastases in stereotactic radiosurgery
(2019)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of positron emission tomography in assessing the response of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vertebral metastases(VM).
Materials and Methods: Patients who ...
Lung Cancer Related Central Airway Obstruction: Who Benefits Better from Radiotherapy?
(2018)
We aimed to assess the efficacy of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in central airway obstruction (CAO) and associated factors for metastatic lung cancer (MLC) patients. Records of 72 MLC patients presenting with CAO were ...
Novel Clinically Weight-Optimized Dynamic Conformal Arcs (WO-DC A) for Liver SBRT: A Comparison with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
(2021)
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of shortening the duration of liver stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) without jeopardizing dosimetry or conformity by utilizing weight-optimized dynamic conformal arcs (WO-DCA) as opposed ...
Preliminary Simulation Study of Carotid Artery and Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscle Sparing-Radiotherapy in Glottic Carcinoma
(2020)
Background: This preliminary simulation study aimed to compare the dosimetric outcomes of carotid arteries (CAs) and pharyngeal constrictor muscle (PCM) in patients with T1N0M0 glottic carcinoma undergoing helical ...
Prognostic Value of C-Reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio in Glioblastoma Multiforme Patients Treated with Concurrent Radiotherapy and Temozolomide
(2020)
Objective. We investigated the prognostic impact of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) on the survival outcomes of newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) and ...
Comparison of Involved Field Radiotherapy versus Elective Nodal Irradiation in Stage IIIB/C Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Patients Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy: A Propensity Score Matching Study
(2020)
Background. We retrospectively compared the incidence of isolated elective nodal failure (IENF) and toxicity rates and survival outcomes after elective nodal irradiation (ENI) versus involved-field RT (IFRT) by employing ...
