Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):17-25.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the side effects, pattern of failure, and survival rate according to the sequence of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients with stages II and lll rectal cancer who had undergone curative resection were randomized to early radiotherapy group (arm I) or 'late radiotherapy group (arm II)', then we intend to determine the most effective sequence of the...
Case Report
Radiotherapy of Patient with Implanted Cardiac Pacemaker
Hong Gyun Wu, Bo Kyoung Kim, Wee Saeng Kang, Jin Hong Park
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):46-50.
A 70 years old female patient with thyroid cancer received palliative radiation therapy for neck swelling and hemoptysis. She had a cardiac pacemaker under her chest due to complete AV block since 8 years ago. We present clinical detail and review previously reported articles.

Parotid Gland Sparing Radiotherapy Technique Using 3-D Conformal Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Ji Hoon Lim, Gwi Eon Kim, Ki Chang Keum, Chang Ok Suh, Sang Wook Lee, Hee Chul Park, Jae Ho Cho, Sang Hoon Lee, Sei Kyung Chang, Juhn Kyu Loh
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):1-10.
PURPOSE: Although using the high energy photon beam with conventional parallel-opposed beams radio-therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiation-induced xerostomia is a troublesome problem for patient. We conducted this study to explore a new parotid gland sparing technique in 3-D conformal radiotherap (3-D CRT) in an effort to prevent the radiation-induced xerostomia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed three different planning for four clinically...
External Beam Radiotherapy Alone in Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Sung Ja Ahn, Woong Ki Chung, Byung Sik Nah, Taek Keun Nam
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):11-16.
PURPOSE: We performed the retrospective analysis to find the outcome of external beam radiotherapy alone in advanced esophageal cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: One hundred and six patients treated with external beam radiotherapy alone between July 1990 and December 1996 were analyzed retrospectively. We limited the site of the lesions to the thoracic esophagus and cell type to the squamous cell...
The Results of Hyperfractionated Radiation Therapy Combined with Taxol for Paraaortic Node Recurrence in Cervix Cancer
Jun Sang Kim, Ji Young Jang, Jae Sung Kim, Sam Yong Kim, Moon June Cho
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):26-31.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate treatment results, toxicity and efficacy of hyperfractionated radiation therapy combined with paclitaxel for paraaortic node recurrence in cervix cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between September 1997 to March 1999, 12 patients with paraaortic node recurrence in cervix cancer who previously received radical or postoperative radiotherapy were treated with hyperfractionated radiation therapy combined with...
High Versus Low Dose-Rate Intracavitary Irradiation for Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Cervix
Woo Chul Kim, Gwi Eon Kim, Eun Ji Chung, Chang Ok Suh, Soon Won Hong, Young Kap Cho, Juhn Loh
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):32-39.
PURPOSE: The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is low. Traditionally, Low Dose R ate (LDR) brachytherapy has been used as a standard modality in the treatment for patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The PURPOSE of this report is to evaluate the effects of the High dose rate (HL)R) brachytherapy in the patients with adenocarcinoma of the...
Postoperative Adjuvant Radiation Therapy in Endometrial Carcinoma
Kyung Hwan Shin, Eun Kyung Choi, Seung Do Ahn, Hyesook Chang, Jung Eun Mok, Joo Hyun Nam, Young Tak Kim, Yong Man Kim, Jong Hyeok Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):40-45.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the histopathological prognostic factors, relapse pattern and survival in patients with endometrial carcinoma who were treated with surgery and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). METHODS AND MATERIALS: From September 1991 to December 1997, 27 patients with endometrial carcinoma treated with surgery and postoperative adjuvant RT at Asan Medical Center were entered in this study. Surgery was performed with total...
Radiation-induced Apoptosis is Differentially Modulated by PTK Inhibitors K562 Cells
Hyung Sik Lee, Chang Woo Moon, Won Joo Hur, Su Jin Jeong, Min Ho Jeong, Jeong Hyeon Lee, Young Jin Lim, Heon Joo Park
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):51-58.
PURPOSE: The effect of PTK inhibitors (herbimycin A and genistein) on the induction of radiation-induce d apoptosis in Ph-positive K562 leukemia cell line was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: K562 cells in exponential growth phase were irradiated with a linear accelerator at room temperature. For 6 MV X-ray irradiation and drug treatment, cultures were initiated at 2x10' cells/mL. The cells were irradiated...
The Effect of Melatonin on Mouse Jejunal Crypt Cell Survival and Apoptosis
Jin Oh Kang, Eun Young Ha, Hyung Hwan Baik, Yong Ho Cho, Seong Eon Hong
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):59-66.
PURPOSE: To evaluate protective mechanism of melatonin against radiation damage and its relationship with apoptosis in mouse jejunum. MATERIALS AND METHODS:' 168 mice were divided into 28 groups according to radiation dose and melatonin treatment. To analysis crypt survival, microcolony survival assay was done according to Withers an (l Elkind's method. To analysis apoptosis, TUNEL assay was done according to Labet-Moleur's method. RESULTS:...
Radiation Oncology Digital Image Chart and Digital Radiotherapy Record System at Samsung Medical Center
Seung Jae Huh, Yong Chan Ahn, Do Hoon Lim, Chung Keun Cho, Dae Yong Kim, Inhwan Jason Yeo, Moon Kyung Kim, Seung Hee Chang, Suk Won Park
Radiat Oncol J. 2000;18(1):67-72.
BACKGROUND: The authors have developed a Digital image chart(DIC) and digital Radiotherapy Record System (DRRS). We have evaluated the DIC and DRRS for reliability, usefulness, ease of use, and efficiency. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The basic design o f the DIC and DRRS was to build an digital image database of radiation therapy patient records for a more efficient and timely...
