Each chapter is dual authored by a radiation oncologist and a surgeon, giving a balanced presentation of clinical scenarios. Issues of basic science and physics are also covered, and a notable chapter on normal tissue tolerance is included. [books.google.de]

Prognosis for neurological deficit depends on the magnitude of the spinal cord damage present at the onset. [patient.info]

Conclusions: The present study subtantiates the occurence of early, primary inflammatory vascular changes during the so-called latency period after irradiation without manifestation of neurological impairment. [karger.com]

This approach should not be considered at present TBI: The use of TBI as a conditioning regimen prior to high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with poor-risk disease 18. [slideshare.net]

The study will be featured in a press briefing today and presented at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. [asco.org]

• Pertussis

  Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP). Hepatitis B. Talk to your child's doctor about whether other childhood vaccinations given before cancer treatment need to be repeated. [cancer.gov]

• Personality Change

  Symptoms include progressively worsening dementia, memory loss, difficulty thinking, personality changes, and, in adults, unsteadiness in walking. Radiation directed at tumors near the spine may damage the spinal cord itself. [merckmanuals.com]

  Problems with thinking and memory: A person may lose some brain function if large areas of the brain get radiation. Problems can include memory loss, personality changes, and trouble concentrating. [cancer.org]

The diagnosis of RILP is essentially one of exclusion, metastasis or a local tumor progression with secondary nerve involvement usually leads the differential diagnosis, the minimal workup must include cerebrospinal fluid analysis, electromyography, and [gynoncrp.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment fields for the protocol conformal plans were arranged so that the maximum cord dose was not to exceed 50 Gy. Dose-volume histograms for both types of planned treatments were analyzed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Radiation from these treatments sometimes damages the nervous system, despite the best efforts to prevent damage. [merckmanuals.com]

This type of treatment is given by a doctor called a radiation oncologist. [cancer.org]

Features a full-color design throughout and over 700 color figures which clearly depict treatment techniques; this allows for more complete integration of text, tables, and figures thus making key information easier to locate.Adds a "Diagnostic Algorithm [books.google.de]

Until now, patients often had to spend multiple days traveling back and forth to undergo radiation treatments. [asco.org]

Prognosis The spinal cord has very limited powers of regeneration. Prognosis for neurological deficit depends on the magnitude of the spinal cord damage present at the onset. [patient.info]

• An analysis of the degree of necrosis in the excised tumor can permit refinements in the estimate of prognosis • In the skeletally immature child, resection may be associated with less morbidity than radiation, which can retard bone growth and cause [slideshare.net]

Your doctor will determine and discuss with you the details of your prognosis and the possible benefits of proton therapy as an addition to your treatment plan. Back to Top Q. [floridaproton.org]

He has demonstrated that infection is not the primary etiology of mandibular necrosis by obtaining deep cultures of affected bone and showing the absence of bacteria. [uhms.org]

A much greater risk of a second malignancy is posed by the same etiologic and genetic mechanisms that are responsible for the primary tumor. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Cancer is a multigenic and multicellular disease that can arise from all cell types and organs with a multi-factorial etiology. [medsci.org]

The pathophysiological mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Diagnosis of radiation myelopathy in women with gynecologic malignancies may increase with the use of concomitant chemo-radiation. [gynoncrp.biomedcentral.com]

He has provided several key principles in the understanding of the pathophysiology of mandibular necrosis. [uhms.org]

Radiation from these treatments sometimes damages the nervous system, despite the best efforts to prevent damage. [merckmanuals.com]

We observed that localized irradiation of the unilaterally transected adult rat spinal cord when delivered during a defined time-window (third week) postinjury prevented cavitation, enabled establishment of structural integrity, and resulted in regrowth [pnas.org]

The isocentre will be midline and anterior to the equator of the orbit to prevent divergence into the contralateral eye. [ozradonc.wikidot.com]

Study Limitations and Next Steps “Longer radiation may be more effective for preventing regrowth of metastases in the spine than single-dose radiation. [asco.org]

Rapid diagnosis and management are essential to have the highest chances of preventing permanent loss of function. [patient.info]
