Radiation dermatitis (RD) remains one of the most common side effects, affecting majority of patients receiving radiotherapy. Despite the advances in radiation treatment techniques, our recent clinical trials indicated as high as 85% of patients (with mixed-cancer type) undergoing radiotherapy experienced dry desquamation and 15% of patients experi...

Background: The treatment of oligometastatic disease is challenging and few data exist to guide treatment decisions. The objective of this study was to improve the data on the prevalence and treatment of patients with oligometastatic disease. Methods: We conducted a prospective single-center analysis that included all consecutive patients discussed...

Aim: Prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with macrovascular invasion (MVI) is extremely poor. However, proper therapeutic strategies have not been established yet. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for MVI of HCC. Methods: We have analyzed and evaluated 80 consecutive patients wit...

Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most debilitating side effects of cancer and cancer therapy. We aimed to investigate co-occurring symptoms associated with persistent fatigue in men receiving external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer. Methods: A sample of 47 men with prostate cancer scheduled to receive r...
Gamma ray energy-absorption buildup factors were computed, using the five-parameter Geometric Progression fitting formula and the ANSI/ANS-6.4.3 report, for some fluorides and sulfates in the energy range 0.015−15 MeV, and for penetration depths up to 40 mfp. The generated energy-absorption buildup factors are studied as functions of penetration de...
