Presenting the initial clinical results in treatment of complex shaped adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) head and neck region by inverse planned stereotactic IMRT.25 patients with huge ACC different areas were treated. At time radiotherapy two already suffered from distant metastases. A complete resection tumor was possible only 4 patients. The remaining incompletely resected (R2: 20; R1: 1). 21 received an integrated boost IMRT (IBRT), which allow use single doses for target volumes one...
Spinal chordomas cannot be treated with an effective dose using conventional radiation therapy (RT) without exceeding the tolerance of spinal cord while ensuring sufficient target coverage at same time. In this study we investigate potential physical advantages combined photon intensity-modulated (IMRT) and raster-scanned carbon ion RT over IMRT alone. For a representative patient generated plan plan. Additionally, plans consisting both ions were calculated ratios 20:40 GyE, 30:30 GyE 40:20...
e16010 Background: Adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC's) are rare salivary gland tumors. Conventional RT treatment results still not satisfactory due to relative radioresistance of these Modern techniques combined with heavy ion applied in the current concept higher biological effectiveness carbon ions (C12). This prospective study assesses clinical outcome and toxicity after a approach IMRT C12 boost. Methods: Patients (pts) histological confirmed, advanced ACC's (primary recurrent tumors)...
Teaching point: Lentiform fork sign is a rare finding on MRI of the brain, found in patients with metabolic acidosis, critically ill patient low consciousness and renal failure, this can correspond to uremic encephalopathy.
To analyze computed tomography (CT) characteristics predictive for diagnostic accuracy and pneumothorax in CT fluoroscopy-guided transthoracic biopsy (CTF-TTB) of lung lesions using non-coaxial needle technique.Retrospectively 274 lesion biopsies with confirmed histology were included our study. CTF-TTB was done an 18-gauge cutting needle. Diagnostic rates calculated per size procedural evaluated their value regarding development (maximal nodule diameter, distance to pleura, location...
the defect and high pressure of CSF.This algorithm may pave way to wider use endonasal endoscopic corridors skull base, resulting in a remarkable decrease surgical morbidity.
Carbon ions are successfully used in tumour treatment for more than 10 years Chiba and Hyogo (Japan) at GSI Darmstadt (Germany). beneficial the of deep seated tumours, as they deliver highest dose end their range, addition this shows an enhanced radiobiological effectiveness.
