Multimodality Therapy for Older Cancer Patients
Older cancer patients are frequently excluded from clinical trials due to the concern about toxicity. Chronologically older cancer patients may not receive curative treatment especially when it involves multi-modality such as surgery and radiotherapy or chemotherapy and radiotherapy even when they are physically fit. As there is a paucity of data on older cancer patients, clinicians are often faced with a difficult choice on how to manage those patients who have many co-morbidities. As an international research organization dedicated to the care of older cancer patients, minorities, and women, the International Geriatric Radiotherapy Group would like to investigate the pattern of care across...
Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Effective Radiotherapy Delivery
Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is a new radiotherapy technology that combines the rapid dose fall off associated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and daily tumor imaging allowing for high precision tumor dose delivery and effective sparing of surrounding normal organs. The new radiation technology requires close collaboration between radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and radiation oncologists to avoid marginal miss. Modern diagnostic imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans, positron emission tomography with Computed Tomograpgy (PET-CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the radiation oncologist to target the positive tumor with high accuracy...
Tonkin Gulf and the Escalation of the Vietnam War, Revised Edition
On July 31, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Maddox (DD-731) began a reconnaissance cruise off the coast of North Vietnam. On August 2, three North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked the ship. On the night of August 4, the Maddox and another destroyer, the USS Turner Joy (DD-951), expecting to be attacked, saw what they interpreted as hostile torpedo boats on their radars and reported themselves under attack. The following day, the United States bombed North Vietnam in retaliation. Congress promptly passed, almost unanimously and with little debate, a resolution granting President Lyndon Johnson authority to take “all necessary measures” to deal with aggression in Vietnam. The incident of Augu...

Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology
Cancer is a global burden and has been acknowledged as a dedicated sustainable development goal (SDG) by the WHO. Worldwide cancer care in all its aspects reaching from prevention and early detection up to palliative care is still characterized by extensive inequalities in accessibility, availability, acceptability, affordability, and quality of care. This results in the insufficient implementation of Universal Health Coverage in many countries and regions. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) but also underserved regions and population groups in industrial countries achieve intensified focus since several years regarding knowledge exchange and support to overcome these inequalities. Research in global cancer care gained extended attention but still has limitations regarding comparability, methodology, and data quality. Therefore, the Research Topic “Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology” will focus on research approaches and results of cancer care implementation and its barriers that can be transferred to other countries.
Colonialism Experienced
Documenting a shifting worldview in late-colonial Vietnam
Viêt Nam Exposé
A collection of essays written on twentieth-century Vietnamese society, Vit Nam Expos is one of only a handful of books written by French scholars for an English-speaking audience. The volume is multidisciplinary and represents a new trend in Vietnamese studies that addresses issues beyond politics, wars, and violence, exploring the complexity of more subtle power relationships in Vietnamese society. The book is divided into three parts. Part I, "Vietnamese Society in the Early Twentieth Century," takes a micro approach to the study of Vietnamese society on the eve of the irreversible social transformation that occurred as the colonial infrastructure took root in Indochina. Part II, "Vietnam...
