Review Article
Contemporary treatment with radiosurgery for spine metastasis and spinal cord compression in 2015
Samuel Ryu, Hannah Yoon, Alexander Stessin, Fred Gutman, Arthur Rosiello, Raphael Davis
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):1-11.   Published online March 31, 2015

With the progress of image-guided localization, body immobilization system, and computerized delivery of intensity-modulated radiation delivery, it became possible to perform spine radiosurgery. The next question is how to translate the high technology treatment to the clinical application. Clinical trials have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of spine radiosurgery and efficacy of the treatment in the setting of spine...

Treatment outcomes of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer
Yong-Hyub Kim, Sang-Yun Song, Hyun-Jeong Shim, Woong-Ki Chung, Sung-Ja Ahn, Mee Sun Yoon, Jae-Uk Jeong, Ju-Young Song, Taek-Keun Nam
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):12-20.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

To evaluate treatment outcomes and determine prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer treated with esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT).

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively evaluated 39 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy between 2002 and 2012. Initial clinical stages of patients were stage IB in 1 patient (2.6%), stage II in 5 patients (12.9%), and stage...

Clinical and biochemical outcomes of men undergoing radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer
David Schreiber, Justin Rineer, Jeffrey P. Weiss, Joseph Safdieh, Joseph Weiner, Marvin Rotman, David Schwartz
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):21-28.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

We analyzed outcomes of patients with prostate cancer undergoing either radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) +/- salvage radiation or definitive radiation therapy (RT) +/- androgen deprivation.

Materials and Methods

From 2003-2010 there were 251 patients who underwent RRP and 469 patients who received RT (≥7,560 cGy) for prostate cancer. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed with the log-rank test to compare biochemical control (bCR), distant...

Outcome analysis in patients with uterine sarcoma
Tosol Yu, Hak Jae Kim, Hong-Gyun Wu, Sung Whan Ha, Yong-Sang Song, Noh-Hyun Park, Jae-Won Kim
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):29-35.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

To analyze the prognostic factors for survivals and to evaluate the impact of postoperative whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) on pelvic failure in patients with uterine sarcoma treated with radical surgery.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients with uterine sarcoma who underwent radical surgery with (n = 22) or without (n = 53) radiotherapy between 1990 and 2010. There were 23...

Post-treatment intracranial hemorrhage of brain metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma
Kyung Su Kim, Kyubo Kim, Eui Kyu Chie, Yoon Jun Kim, Jung Hwan Yoon, Hyo-Suk Lee, Sung W. Ha
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):36-41.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of post-treatment intracranial hemorrhage of brain metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Materials and Methods

Medical records of 81 patients who have been diagnosed of brain metastases from HCC and underwent surgery, radiosurgery and/or whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) between January 2000 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.

Results

Intracranial hemorrhage was present in 64 patients (79%) at the...

Physics Contribution
New methods for optical distance indicator and gantry angle quality control tests in medical linear accelerators: image processing by using a 3D phantom
Mahdi Heravian Shandiz, Ghorban Safaeian Layen, Kazem Anvari, Mohammadmahdi Khalilzadeh
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):42-49.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

In order to keep the acceptable level of the radiation oncology linear accelerators, it is necessary to apply a reliable quality assurance (QA) program.

Materials and Methods

The QA protocols, published by authoritative organizations, such as the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), determine the quality control (QC) tests which should be performed on the medical linear accelerators and the threshold...

Virtual lymph node analysis to evaluate axillary lymph node coverage provided by tangential breast irradiation
Shin-Hyung Park, Jae-Chul Kim, Jeong Eun Lee, In-Kyu Park
Radiat Oncol J. 2015;33(1):50-56.   Published online March 31, 2015
Purpose

To investigate the coverage of axillary lymph node with tangential breast irradiation fields by using virtual lymph node (LN) analysis.

Materials and Methods

Forty-eight women who were treated with whole breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery were analyzed. The axillary and breast volumes were delineated according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) contouring atlas. To generate virtual LN contours, preoperative fluorodeoxyglucose positron...
