PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to compare the efficacy of two different dose fractionation schedules for radiotherapy of patients with calcaneodynia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between February 2006 and April 2010, 457 consecutive evaluable patients were recruited for...
AIMS: To report the local control and complication rates of orthovoltage radiotherapy in the management of medial canthal basal cell carcinoma (BCC). METHODS: The medical records of all patients treated with medial canthal BCC between 1998 and 2010, with orthovoltage...
PURPOSE: We have established a high-throughput Gafchromic film dosimetry protocol for narrow kilo-voltage beams in homogeneous and heterogeneous media for small-animal radiotherapy applications. The kV beam characterization is based on extensive Gafchromic film...
PURPOSE: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a radiosensitive tumor. Presently, treatment with radiation is given in multiple fractions. The current literature lacks data that support single-fraction treatment for CTCL. This retrospective review assesses the clinical...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common paraneoplastic disease among human neoplasms. The tumor affects mainly photoexposed areas, most often in the head and seldom appears on genitalia and perigenital region. BCC progresses slowly and metastases are found in...
PURPOSE: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, and radiation is one of the main treatment modalities. However, cure rates remain low despite best available therapies. Immunotherapy is a promising modality that could work...
The commercially available X-ray fluoroscopy quality assurance phantom, the Leeds test object TOR18FG, was found to be suitable to assess T-ray image quality in the range (0.1-0.4) THz at a depth of 0.5 cm. Previous to this only custom made phantoms, made especially...
The research relates to possibly replacing 137CsCl irradiators used in radiobiological research involving cells in culture and small animals with an X-RAD 320 Unit (X-ray source[4]) with energies higher than for a typical X-ray irradiator. The objective of this...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two different dose-fractionation schedules for radiotherapy of patients with achillodynia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between February 2006 and February 2010, 112 consecutive evaluable patients...
