Radiotherapy in Elderly Patients with Cancer
Mison Chun, Sunmi Jo
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):1-10.
Due to improved life spans, cancer incidence has increased with more aged patients presenting with cancer. Elderly cancer patients could have compromised organ function and/or comorbidities. Due to poor social support or lack of early diagnosis, treatment outcomes for elderly cancer patients are poor in general. However, with aggressive support during cancer management as well as careful selection, most elderly...

The Pathological and Clinical Effects of Preoperative Chemoradiation in Rectal Cancer
Jin Ho Song, Hong Seok Jang, Yeon Sil Kim, Su Mi Chung, Seok Hyun Son, Jin Hyeong Kang, Eui Gon Youk, Doo Seok Lee, Suk Hi Lee, Sei Chul Yoon
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):11-19.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the pathological and clinical effects of preoperative chemoradiation (CCRT) in cases of locally advanced rectal cancer and to determine the predictive factors for tumor downstaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From March 2004 to August 2008, 33 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer were treated with preoperative CCRT. Twenty-eight patients (84.8%) were treated using a concomitant boost technique while five...
Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Sang Jun Byun, Jin Hee Kim, Ok Bae Kim, Hong Suk Song
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):20-27.
PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the results of local control, survival rate, prognostic factors, and failure pattern in locally advanced esophageal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 50 patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center from June of 1999 to August of 2008. Seven patients with inappropriate data were excluded,...
Treatment Results of CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Patients with Primary or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Woochul Kim, Hun Jung Kim, Jeong Hoon Park, Hyun Do Huh, Sang Huoun Choi
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):28-35.
PURPOSE: Recently, the use of radiosurgery as a local therapy in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer has become favored over surgical resection. To evaluate the efficacy of radiosurgery, we analyzed the results of stereotactic body radiosurgery in patients with primary or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed medical records retrospectively of total 24 patients...
Radiation Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis
Seung Gyu Park, Jin Hee Kim, Sang Jun Byun, Ok Bae Kim, Jae Seok Hwang, Young Kee Oh, Tae Jin Choi
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):36-43.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of radiation therapy (RT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) and to analyze the prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From December 2004 to April 2009, 70 patients who had HCC with PVTT were treated with RT at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center. Nineteen patients whose total dose was below 30 Gy and...
Role of Postoperative Radiotherapy for Patients with Pathological Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer after Curative Resection
Mi Young Kim, Hong Gyun Wu, Hak Jae Kim, Dae Seog Heo, Young Whan Kim, Dong Wan Kim, Se Hoon Lee, Joo Hyun Kim, Young Tae Kim, Chang Hyun Kang
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):44-52.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes and prognostic factors of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for patients with pathological stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at a single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2000 to 2007, 88 patients diagnosed as having pathologic stage III NSCLC after curative resection were treated with PORT. There were 80 patients with pathologic stage IIIA and eight patients with...
Case Report
Three Cases of Radiation-Induced Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation after Hepatic Tomotherapy: Case Report
Moonkyoo Kong, Seong Eon Hong, Byung Ho Kim, Jinhyun Choi
Radiat Oncol J. 2011;29(1):53-62.
Radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) has been characterized as a veno-occlusive disease with anicteric elevation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). However, some RILD patients present with elevated transaminase levels rather than with anicteric elevation of ALP, and these findings are common in the Asia-Pacific region where hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with 70~90% of hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) cases. In addition,...
