esophageal stenosis/fatigue

Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare but potentially fatal adverse event caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Herein we report a patient diagnosed with therapy-related AML 2 months after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. A 61-year-old man with dysphagia was diagnosed with

OBJECTIVE The optimal combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) and the role of consolidation chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are unknown. Topotecan is active against NSCLC, can safely be combined with RT at effective systemic doses, and can

OBJECTIVE Preclinical findings suggest that adding targeted therapies to combination radiation-chemotherapy can enhance treatment efficacy; however, this approach may enhance normal tissue toxicity. We investigated the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, and response rate when the

OBJECTIVE The efficacy of radiotherapy alone on locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poor. Although the combined modality of chemoradiotherapy and dose-escalation of radiotherapy have been the main trends, the optimal modality still remains unknown. This study was to evaluate the

UNASSIGNED Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is an emerging advanced radiation technique. Although dosimetric studies demonstrate the superiority of IMPT for improving target conformity and reducing unnecessary dose to critical normal tissues, clinical experience is limited. We aim to
