Material Methods: retrospective included 74 patients who underwent Stupp protocol Blood samples were collected before radiotherapy measure prothrombin time (PT),...

Objective The purpose of this research was to compare two treatment techniques for oropharyngeal cancers: conventional linac-based static intensity-modulated radiotherapy (sIMRT) and helical tomotherapy (HT). study examined several parameters, including target coverage, organs at risk, integral dose, beam on time. Additionally, the evaluated doses parotid, temporomandibular joint, pharyngeal constrictor muscles, which are important swallowing. Method present retrospectively analyzed data 13...

Painful plantar heel spur (PPHS) is a benign disorder with painful heels as result of calcaneal bone spur. Exact etiological factors are still unclear. Treatment typically consists osteoarthritis tretment schedules and surgical techniques. External radiotherapy another treatment option. This study aimed to determine effectiveness outcomes external in patients PPHS.Sixty-two PPHS were analysed for success other possible prognostic factors. All treated Co-60 units from parallel opposed lateral...

Background: Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is endemic in the Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey. The present study was performed to identify risk factors for ESCC that specifically reflect demography and nutritional habits individuals living this region. Materials Methods: following parameters were compared 208 patients 200 control region: age, sex, place living, socioeconomic level, education smoking, alcohol intake, habits, food preservation methods.

Purpose: To present information about prognostic factors of gastric cancer patients treated in our Erzurum center including age, gender, tumour location, pathological grade, stage and the effect treatment on survival. Materials Methods: This retrospective study was performed who applied to clinic diagnosed as cancer. Age gender patients, primary histopathological characteristics, TNM cancers (GCs), applied, oncological modalities survival outcomes were studied. A univariate analysis...

Despite advances in radiotherapy, overall survival of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients is still poor. Moreover dosimetrical analyses with these newer treatment methods are insufficient. The current study aimed to compare intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) linear accelerator (linac) and helical tomotherapy (HT) plans for prognostic aggressive brain tumors.A total 20 GBM patient were prospectively evaluated both linac HT planning systems. Plans compared respect homogenity...

Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive tumor of odontogenic epithelial tissue. Reports radiotherapy treatment modalities are limited in the literature. A thirty-five year old male presented with complaints headache radiating to his face for about six months and impaired vision. The patient’s Positron Emission Tomography (PET) showed mass left maxillary sinus extending nasal cavity invading adjacent tissues. An R2 (macroscopic residual tumor) surgical resection performed debulk...

The principal objective of this study was to assess the predictive efficacy global immune-nutrition-inflammation index (GINI) and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score among patients receiving chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer.

Primary small cell carcinoma of the esophagus is a relatively rare malignancy. It highly progressive and poorly prognostic in untreated conditions. In western populations, rate primary all esophageal cancer types between 0.05% 2.4%, while it endemically increasing up to 7.6% eastern populations. Most cases are extensive stage at time diagnosis. Surgery treatment choice limited stages, but must be multimodal esophagus. A 47-year-old woman was referred our clinic with gradually severe dry...

The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors secondary infected radiodermatitis in patients receiving radiotherapy determine isolated microorganisms' resistance profiles different antimicrobial agents.The comprised 62 admitted Regional Training Research Hospital from January 2009 2010. Radiodermatitis graded according National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria version 3.0. Potential for infection were recorded evaluated by univariate...

Background: Currently poster presentations offer a common visual medium for knowledge transfer by wide range of health professionals. Our study aimed to determine the scientific importance Medical and Radiation Oncologists. Methods: A survey form including 40 questions was distributed total 131 oncologists experienced in presentations. One hundred completed forms were included study. Descriptive statistics modified thematic analyses performed on responses. Results: Overall 64% participants...

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is a variant of with more aggressive course.Mutations the p53 gene have been found in different types soft tissue sarcoma.It generally accepted that mutations human malignant tumors are often related to poor prognosis.In our case, analysis mutation tumor samples was performed.p53 observed dedifferentiated but not well-differentiated samples.It has reported occurs most commonly retroperitoneum and rarely other anatomic locations.Herein we report case located at...

The study evaluates the different treatment planning techniques according to three recommendation levels of International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements Report-83 in gynecologic cancer patients treated with adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy (APR).Computerized tomography images ten endometrial cervical who were APR assessed. For each patient, five plans created. One homogeneity index four conformity indexes (CIs) calculated for three-dimensional conformal (3D-CRT), field-in-field...

This study aims to evaluate inter-fractional set-up errors in patients treated with distinct immobilization equipment (thermoplastic mask, knee-fix and feet-fix, wing board vac-lok) for four anatomical regions including brain, head neck (HN), thorax pelvis. Data of randomly selected 140 who were obtained using Hi-Art Helical Tomotherapy (HT) system. Pre-treatment planning was based on automatic registration readings computed tomography (CT) mega-voltage (MVCT) a daily basis. Distinct used...

In the green synthesis method, various plants gain importance due to synergistic effect created by their rich phytochemical properties. this study, SM (thistle-Silybum marianum) plant, which is known with its antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties in literature, forms source of motivation. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized aqueous extracts method. The formation Ag NPs was confirmed transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis XRD spectrophotometers.
