Comparison of survival rates between patients treated with conventional radiotherapy and helical tomotherapy for head and neck cancer
Moonkyoo Kong, Seong Eon Hong, Jinhyun Choi, Youngkyong Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):1-11.   Published online March 31, 2013
Purpose

Compared to conventional radiotherapy (RT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) significantly reduces the rate of treatment-induced late toxicities in head and neck cancer. However, a clear survival benefit of IMRT over conventional RT has not yet been shown. This study is among the first comparative study to compare the survival rates between conventional RT and helical tomotherapy in head and neck cancer.

Parotid gland can be considered as a risk organ in whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the parotid gland sparing effect of computed tomography (CT)-based WBRT compared to 2-dimensional plan with conventional field margin.

Materials and Methods

From January 2008 to April 2011, 53 patients underwent WBRT using CT-based simulation. Bilateral two-field arrangement was used and...

Hypofractionated three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for medically inoperable early stage non-small-cell lung cancer
Joo Ho Lee, Hong-Gyun Wu, Hak Jae Kim, Charn Il Park, Se-Hoon Lee, Dong-Wan Kim, Dae Seog Heo
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):18-24.   Published online March 31, 2013
Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes of hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) with three-dimensional conformal technique for medically inoperable patients with early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to evaluate prognostic factors.

Materials and Methods

We performed a retrospective review of 26 patients who underwent HFRT for early stage NSCLC between September 2005 and August 2011. Only clinical stage...

Chemoradiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal: a single institution experience
Kyung Hwan Kim, Jee Suk Chang, Ki Chang Keum, Joong Bae Ahn, Chang Geol Lee, Woong Sub Koom
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):25-33.   Published online March 31, 2013
Purpose

We reviewed the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors for patients with anal canal carcinoma who were treated with curative intent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) at Severance Hospital from 2005 to 2011.

Materials and Methods

Data for 38 eligible patients treated during this period were reviewed. All patients were treated with curative intent using radiotherapy (RT) with (n = 35) or without concomitant chemotherapy (n...

Predictors of radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary function changes after concurrent chemoradiotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer
Young Hee Park, Jae-Sung Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):34-40.   Published online March 31, 2013
Purpose

To evaluate the predictive factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) and associated changes in pulmonary function after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials and Methods

Medical records of 60 patients with NSCLC who received definitive CCRT were retrospectively reviewed. Dose volumetric (DV) parameters, clinical factors, and pulmonary function test (PFT) data were analyzed. RP was graded...

Bladder filling variations during concurrent chemotherapy and pelvic radiotherapy in rectal cancer patients: early experience of bladder volume assessment using ultrasound scanner
Jee Suk Chang, Hong In Yoon, Hye Jung Cha, Yoonsun Chung, Yeona Cho, Ki Chang Keum, Woong Sub Koom
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):41-47.   Published online March 31, 2013
Purpose

To describe the early experience of analyzing variations and time trends in bladder volume of the rectal cancer patients who received bladder ultrasound scan.

Materials and Methods

We identified 20 consecutive rectal cancer patients who received whole pelvic radiotherapy (RT) and bladder ultrasound scan between February and April 2012. Before simulation and during the entire course of treatment, patients were scanned with...

Case Report
Cases report of unicentric Castleman's disease: revisit of radiotherapy role
O Kyu Noh, Sang-Wook Lee, Jae Whan Lee, Sang Yoon Kim, Chung Soo Kim, Eun Kyung Choi, Jong Hoon Kim, Seung Do Ahn
Radiat Oncol J. 2013;31(1):48-54.   Published online March 31, 2013

Castleman's disease or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. Complete surgical resection was recommended in unicentric Castleman's disease. Radiotherapy was considered alternative therapeutic option. However, there have been consistent favorable responses to radiotherapy. We also experienced two cases of uncentric Castleman's disease salvaged successfully with radiotherapy. This paper described these cases and reviewed the literature about Castleman's...
