Download or read book Gynecologic Radiation Therapy written by Akila N. Viswanathan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-17 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies led to a new worldwide consensus to introduce image guidance to gynecologic radiation therapy, particularly to brachytherapy. The book summarizes the changed practice of management: treatment planning for cervical cancer, not modified for over 60 years, has been shifted to an image-based approach, endometrial cancer management with an increase in the use of chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy, and vaginal cancer therapy including image guidance and high-dose delivery with IMRT.
Download or read book Image Guided Cancer Therapy written by Damian E. Dupuy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image-Guided Cancer Therapy: A Multidisciplinary Approach provides clinicians with in-depth coverage of the growing, dynamic field of interventional oncology. Combining the knowledge of expert editors and authors into one powerhouse reference, this book looks at tumor ablation, HIFU, embolic therapies, emerging technologies, and radiation therapy throughout the body (liver, bone, breast, gynecologic and prostate cancers, to name just a few) , and includes discussion of different imaging modalities. In the words of Peter Mueller, MD, author of the book’s Foreword: “... The senior authors are all world renowned experts in interventional oncology, which is another example of the high quality authorship and experience that is brought to this book. The later chapters discuss therapies that are simply not covered in any other source. Everyone who is doing or wants to do ablation therapies and interventional oncology will face a time when they will be asked to use their expertise in less used and less investigated areas. There is nowhere else where the reader can get information on the prostate, breast, and gynecologic areas, and especially pediatrics....This book is an outstanding contribution to the literature and will become a ‘must read’ for all physicians who are interested in Interventional Oncology.”

Download or read book INT Strategies for the Eradication of Carcinoma of the Cervix in Developing Areas Proceedings of the Meeting of the INT Working Party and Interantional Conference on INT Strategies for the Eradication of Carcinoma of the Cervix in Developing Areas C written by Richard Francis Mould and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Working Party for the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of the cervix and uterus in developing countries is an informal group of experts - radiotherapists and gynaecologists which was formed in 1972 and is sponsored by WHO and IAEA. Members come from industrialised and developing countries and all have considerable experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer of the cervix. The aim of the group is to assist in the diagnosis of early (curable) cases of cancer of the cervix and in their treatment without delay by brachytherapy (using caesium-137, iridium-192 and cobalt-60 instead of radium-227) and modern manual afterloading or remote loading techniques. The ninth meeting of the International Working Party and International Conference on International Strategies for the Eradication of Carcinoma of the Cervix in Developing Areas was held in Calcutta, India, in late January 1987. The meeting was attended by 113 delegates from 17 countries. These proceedings include the papers given at the Calcutta meetings, outline the discussions, and report the conclusions and recommendations of the group which are forwarded to the international agencies and by the members to radiological and oncological associations and departments of health. Subjects of papers and discussions include aetiology of cancer of the cervix, prevention and management, diagnosis and screening, radiotherapy using brachytherapy and teletherapy, manual and remote loading, low dose rate and high dose rate therapy, organisation of services and training of experts.

Download or read book Advances in Radiation Therapy written by Bharat B. Mittal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in radiation oncology have depended upon and are intertwined with subsequent scientific discoveries and the development of new techniques in the fields of radiation and molecular biology, physics, electrical engineering, surgery, and medical oncology. This volume describes how some of the recent discoveries in the radiological sciences have influenced the way radiation oncology is practised. As there are many advances in this field, the Editors have chosen to concentrate on selected topics in clinical radiotherapy, radiation physics and biology, and technical innovations that have had a major impact on radiation oncology in the past twenty years. It is hoped that the techniques described in this volume will increase tumor control and prolong patient survival and at the same time decrease radiation-induced side effects and complications.
Download or read book Practical Essentials of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy written by K.S. Clifford Chao and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy was written to enhance the reader’s understanding of the cutting-edge technology of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. It is designed to both update old readers and inform new readers about the complexities and details of clinical management. This completely updated edition provides a step-by-step, practical approach to the use of IMRT in the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients. Because of IMRT’s ability to employ individually controlled beamlets, it is an extremely promising technique, especially when paired with CT, PET, and/or MRI. With these improved procedures, doctors and clinicians will be able to take high resolution images of tumors while minimizing dosages to surrounding tissue. In order to focus on the most up to date IMRT techniques, the introductory chapters have been condensed to provide a brief overview of IMRT physics, mechanics and quality assurance, and also CT and MR imaging. To help assist in clinical decision-making it provides the reader with more than 700 full-color illustrations, IMRT tables and clear, straightforward descriptions that address a range of tumor types and sites including head and neck, urinary, and gynecologic cancers.
Download or read book Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation written by Committee to Assess Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.
