IORT using the Zeiss® Intrabeam® System has been proven to be non-inferior to External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) in local recurrence and disease-free survival. ...
CURRENT STANDARD OF CARE FOR BRAIN TUMORS The current initial standard of care for aggressive brain tumors—whether they are primary brain tumors (ie, tumors that originate in the brain), or metastatic tumors from cancers that started outside of the brain—is resection. After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate ...
After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate any residual tumor cells in or near the surgical resection cavity.6 In the case of brain tumors, more often than not, adjuvant therapy involves using radiation.6 Adjuvant radiation is used either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, and the most common method of radiation ...
In recent years, gold nanoparticles (GNP) have been proposed as sensitising agents in radiotherapy. Several studies, performed both through Monte Carlo simulation of dosimetric and microdosimetric enhancement in presence of GNPs and through in–vitro experiments, have clearly shown the powerfulness of such a technique in radiotherapy. Aim of the present work is to ...
