Optimal management after recurrence or progression of high-grade gliomas is still undefined and remains a challenge for neuro-oncology multidisciplinary teams.Improved radiation therapy techniques,new imaging methods,...
Patients with recurrent breast cancer to chest wall, who had previous irradiation, are difficult to manage and have limited options. Several reports described the use of photon therapy, hyperthermia, and brachytherapy...
Introduction and objectives: Salvage treatment of recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most challenging tasks in neuro-oncology. There is no standard treatment for recurrent GBM as options include resection, che...
Re-irradiation(Re-RT)in liver tumours is rarely reported owing to poor tolerance of liver and high incidence of radiation induced liver disease incidence.Fiducial based robotic radiosurgery allows to deliver high dose...

Background:For patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) who undergo re-irradiation with intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT),lethal nasopharyngeal necrosis(LNN) is a severe late adverse event.The purpose of this ...
INTRODUCTION Brain edema is a serious clinical event and could cause various neurological symptoms such as dizziness and headache.Drugs frequently used to relieve brain edema include steroid,dehydrant (e.g.,mannitol...
Purpose: Patients with locally recurrent lung cancer after definitive radiation therapy pose a challenge in management. Surgery is often not an option and chemotherapy offers poor long-term local control. Stereotactic...
