Jeong Il Yu, Won Park, Dong Ryol Oh, Seung Jae Huh, Han Yong Choi, Hyon Moo Lee, Seong Soo Jeon, Ho Young Yim, Won Suk Kim, Do Hoon Lim, Yong Chan Ahn
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):70-78.
PURPOSE: This study analyzed the tumor response, overall survival, progression free survival and related prognostic factors in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer subjected to bladder preserving treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between August 1995 and June 2004, 37 patients with muscle invasive (transitional cell carcinoma, clinically stage T2-4) bladder cancer were enrolled for the treatment protocol of bladder preservation. There were...

Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):79-92.
PURPOSE: For the first time, a nationwide survey in the Republic of Korea was conducted to determine the basic parameters for the treatment of esophageal cancer and to offer a solid cooperative system for the Korean Pattern of Care Study database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During 1998~1999, biopsy-confirmed 246 esophageal cancer patients that received radiotherapy were enrolled from 23 different institutions in...
The Results of Postoperative Radiotherapy for Endometrial Carcinoma
O Kyu Noh, Seong Soo Shin, Sang Wook Lee, Seung Do Ahn, Eun Kyung Choi, Jong Hyeok Kim, Yong Man Kim, Joo Hyun Nam, Jung Eun Mok, Jong Hoon Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):93-100.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcome and prognostic factors of postoperative radiotherapy in endometrial carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From September 1991 to August 2003, 76 patients with endometrial carcinoma received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy after hysterectomy at Asan Medical Center. Stage was classified as FIGO I in 41 (53.9%), II in 12 (53.9%), and III in 23 (30.3%). Histologic grade 1, 2 and...
The Evaluation of Radiation Therapy and Combined-modality Therapy for Non-small-cell Lung Cancer in Elderly
Won Sup Yoon, Dae Sik Yang, Chul Yong Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):101-108.
PURPOSE: To compare radiation therapy alone to combined modality therapy about survival rate and tolerance of elderly patients (70=or> or =) with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1998 and 2002, 57 patients given radiation therapy due to NSCLC (Stage III) were analysed retrospectively. Radiation therapy alone (RT), concurrent chemoradiation (CRT), and sequential chemoradiation (SCRT) was done to 33,...
Radiation-induced Pulmonary Toxicity following Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer
Sung Ho Moon, Tae Jung Kim, Keun Young Eom, Jee Hyun Kim, Sung Won Kim, Jae Sung Kim, In Ah Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):109-117.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidences and potential predictive factors for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (SRP) and radiographic pulmonary toxicity (RPT) following adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for patients with breast cancer. A particular focus was made to correlate RPT with the dose volume histogram (DVH) parameters based on three-dimensional RT planning (3D-RTP) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From September 2003 through February 2006, 171 patients...
Result of Radiation Therapy of Sino-nasal Cancers Using Partial Attenuation Filter
Jin Hee Kim, Ok Bae Kim, Tae Jin Choi
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):118-124.
PURPOSE: This study was to evaluate the survival and pattern of failure after radiation therapy of sino-nasal cancer using partial attenuation filer and wedged beams and to help radiotherapy planning of sino-nasal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between February 1992 and March 2003, 17 patients with sino-nasal cancers underwent radiation therapy using partial attenuation filter at Dongsan Medical Center, Keimyung university. There...
A Study on Image Reconstruction for Seed Localization for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy
Ju Young Hong, Jeong Eun Rah, Tae Suk Suh
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):125-133.
PURPOSE: This study was to design and fabricate a phantom for prostate cancer brachytherapy to validate a developed program applying a 3-film technique, and to compare it with the conventional 2-film technique for determining the location of an implanted seed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The images were obtained from overlapped seeds by randomly placing a maximum of 63 seeds in the anterior-posterior...
Development of Immobilization Devices for Patients with Pelvic Malignancies and a Feasibility Evaluation during Radiotherapy
Jong Min Park, Yang Kyun Park, Woong Cho, Charn Il Park, Sung Whan Ha
Radiat Oncol J. 2007;25(2):134-144.
PURPOSE: Immobilization devices that improve the setup reproducibility of pelvic cancer patients and that provide comfort to patients during radiotherapy were designed and the feasibility of the devices was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A customized device was designed to immobilize a knee, thigh, and foot of a patient. Sixty-one patients with prostate cancer were selected and were divided into two groups-with...
