Accurate measurement and knowledge of dose delivered during superficial x-ray radiotherapy is required for patient dose assessment. Some tumours treated near the surface (within the first few centimetres) can have large posterior bone structures. This can cause...
PURPOSE: To review and describe our institution's outcomes in patients treated with external beam radiotherapy after keloid excision. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This was a retrospective study. Patients who received radiotherapy between July 1994 and January 2004 after...
BACKGROUND: The incidence of skin cancer has increased dramatically, with as many as 2.8 million skin cancers treated in 2005. In an era of decreasing reimbursement, insurer policy changes, and increasing pressure to deliver cost effective care, physicians should...
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the commonest malignancy worldwide and a significant public health issue. Although most non-melanoma skin cancers are small and easily excised or ablated, a recommendation of definitive radiotherapy is often made in patients where the...
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the computed tomography, conformal irradiation, and treatment planning capabilities of a small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). METHODS AND MATERIALS: The SARRP uses a dual-focal spot, constant voltage X-ray source mounted on a...
This article represents a planned regular updating of the previous British Association of Dermatologists guidelines for the management of basal cell carcinoma. These guidelines present evidence-based guidance for treatment, with identification of the strength of...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting from CAG repeat expansion in the gene that encodes for the protein huntingtin. To identify neuroprotective compound (s) that can slow down disease progression and can be...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy (RT) is well accepted for therapy-refractory palmo-plantar eczema or psoriasis, despite of lacking evidence regarding beneficial long term effects. Furthermore, the optimal irradiation dose is unknown. We evaluated the outcome of...
Patients with a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the nose may be recommended radiotherapy (RT) with a wide variation in techniques and prescribed dose fractionation schedules between clinicians. The aim of this study was to ascertain variability in the patterns of...
