Role of Medical Imaging in Cancers
The issue of Cancers Journal entitled “Role of Medical Imaging in Cancers” presents a detailed summary of evidences about molecular imaging, including the role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission tomography (SPET) and positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/CT or PET/MR imaging in many type of tumors (i.e. sarcoma, prostate, breast and others), motivating the role of these imaging modalities in different setting of disease and showing the recent developments, in terms of radiopharmaceuticals, software and artificial intelligence in this field. The collection of articles is very useful for many specialists, because it has been conceived for a multidisciplinary point of view, in order to drive to a personalized medicine.
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...
Radiation Therapy Using MRI-LINAC - the Right Way to Start: a Guide for Physicians and Physicists, volume II
MRI-LINAC based radiation treatments are currently being used for selected patient populations and body regions, and knowledge related to the outcomes of this modality is progressing. The outcome and long-term side effects in comparison with other modern LINAC are now being studied. As contouring, planning, quality assessment, and treatment assessment require new techniques for the use of all team members, including technicians, dosimetrists, and physicians, research reporting on these factors and each stage of the process is needed for medical professionals. Furthermore, as physicians report a low incidence of acute side effects, with almost none for long-term follow-up, this knowledge should be published in the radiation milieu. The goal of this Research Topic is to collect and summarise the growing knowledge from institutions using MRI-LINAC, in order to share the obstacles, solutions, learning curves, and innovations of this new treatment modality.
Intraoperative Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Cancer
Over the past two decades, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) has been used for a variety of malignant tumors and has contributed significantly to improve local tumor control. Based on the 31st San Francisco Cancer Symposium and the 6th International Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Symposium in 1996, this book presents the most recent information available on the use of IORT in cancer treatment. A brief historical overview of the development of IORT is followed by discussions of its biological, physical and technical aspects. The main part of the book is devoted to the clinical applications of IORT and the results of its use in the management of cancers of the brain, head and neck, gastroin...
Brachytherapy
This volume is the first truly international text to take the practitioner from the history, the physical basis, and the rationale of brachytherapy through to the techniques, the results, and the management of complications. It is also the first truly comprehensive and complete textbook of brachytherapy. The chapters on the physics of brachytherapy and the technical planning of internal and surface radiotherapy are designed to enhance the practitioner’s knowledge base and capabilities in this demanding specialty field. Disease site-specific chapters cover a wide range of applications, including ocular tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, cancers of the head and neck, skin, breast, lung, esophagus, and prostate, and gynecologic and anorectal malignancies. Each chapter incorporates the American and European guidelines and the text has been written from both perspectives by many of the most noted global experts in the field. A concluding chapter is devoted to brachytherapy quality assurance.
