This book is devoted to sharing the knowledge and experience of expert radiation therapy (RT) for extranodal lymphomas. For that purpose, the authors provide clinical-pathological information, precise RT techniques, and treatment results, i.e., disease control and survival, of all extranodal lymphomas. Over the past 10 years, specific techniques have been updated, from 3-dimensional conformal RT to intensity modulated RT / volumetric-modulated arc therapy. Precise targeting such as image-guided RT and active breathing control are now capable of treating lymphoma lesions that shift with respiration or peristalsis. This book, serving as a guide, provides the necessary knowledge for radiation oncology, practice, and planning involving the RT techniques of treating extranodal lymphomas. In addition, it equips oncologists, hematologists, and medical oncologists to refer patients with extranodal lymphomas to radiation oncologists for appropriate treatment in a timely manner. Therefore this volume will greatly benefit all oncologists, including radiation and medical oncologists, as well as hematologists.
Following recent developments in hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) for brain and spine tumors, this new edition offers a fully updated and comprehensive "how-to" guidance on hypofractionated SRT for brain and spine metastases, glioma, benign tumors, and other tumor types. Presenting the state of the art of the technology and practice, this book: • Discusses the pros and cons of hypofractionated SRT compared to single-fraction radiosurgery, providing a deeper understanding of radiosurgery and radiobiology • Explains the toxicity and adverse effects of hypofractionated SRT including the dosage of 24 Gy in two spine SBRT fractionation schemes, aiding practitioners in com...
Hardbound. International Congress Series 1165CAR '98 held in Tokyo, Japan, gathered together a host of international and interdisciplinary scientists for the purpose of introducing modern computer-assisted imaging technologies into medical diagnosis, therapy and training.In a short span of time, the impact of new technology has become a subject for discussion on a worldwide basis.Initially, the CAR Program Committee founded in 1983, comprised only of 10% physicians. Currently, as a result of widespread clinical acceptance of computer-assisted methods, more that half are radiologists or surgeons, and the rest are computers scientist and engineers. Over the years, the impact of CAR can be measured by the increased awareness and the raised expectations among participating medical practitioners and health care decision makers that CARS can provide superior quality, better access and lower costs.
This two volume set forms the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Hyperthermic Oncology which was held in Kyoto, Japan, from 29 August to 3rd September 1988. The most recent developments in hyperthermic oncology are described and analyzed by leading researchers in the field.
