Filter by:The noncontrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) is an emerging diagnostical tool in patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As shown in previous studies and pointed out by the Fleischner society, an additional scan in expiration reflects the pathophysiology of this complex disease better and extends the clinical information of the CT. Nevertheless, this scan is leading to an increase in radiation dose. But currently it is unclear if this increased radiation dose is proportional to the additional clinical value when compared to inspiration-only protocols. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the organ specific radiation doses of a combined inspiration-expiration CT on a 3rd generation dual-source scanner with noncontrast-enhanced chest CTs of two clinical routine scanners. Therefore, the radiation doses of nearly 2000 chest CTs have been evaluated.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of totally neoadjuvant FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy (irinotecan, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil) followed by short-course radiation therapy and XELOX chemotherapy in the patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
Cervical cancer with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement has a poor prognosis. Despite low-quality data, the routine practice to treat these patients is radiation with concurrent cisplatin. The aim of this study is to compare systemic chemotherapy with observation after radiation with concurrent cisplatin of cervical cancer ( with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement) for incidence of adverse events and local recurrence rate.
The ENSURE study will comprise two phases. Phase 1: European multicenter survey of surveillance protocols after esophageal cancer surgery ENSURE questionnaire will be circulated to representatives from participating European countries. Phase 2: European multicenter retrospective observational study of the impact of postoperative surveillance protocols on oncologic outcome and HR-QL Phase 2 will constitute a retrospective observational study of patients undergoing treatment with curative intent for esophageal cancer at participating Centers from June 2009 to June 2015.
Radiation dose to interventional cardiologists performing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures is higher compared to those performing transfemoral exams. The radiation dose seems particularly high at pelvic level. We prepared an home-made protective extension of the leaded curtain under table that should reduce the operator exposure during interventional coronary procedures. The aim of the study is to evaluate the procedural efficacy of the protective extension on the operator radiation dose at pelvic level
CAROLE seeks to evaluate the relationship between chest Radiation Therapy and coronary artery disease. The purpose of CAROLE is to check the heart health of women who received breast cancer treatments in the past and protect them from future heart disease.
Definitive treatment protocol for high-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with intracavitary radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer: A phase II trial
The purpose of this study and demonstrate the reliability of EOS imaging system in the measurement of internal diameters of obstetrical pelvis versus "Goldstandard current "that is the pelviscanner.
Smoking is the greatest risk factor for upper aerodigestive cancers (thoracic or head and neck) and negatively impacts survival and other outcomes, but many patients have difficulty quitting after their diagnosis. Smoking cessation interventions for cancer patients thus far have had limited success. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to determine if a new comprehensive, evidence-based smoking cessation intervention can improve quit rates for cancer patients who smoke.
This study has the purpose to investigate the benefit of treating breast cancer patients in prone position. This treatment is compared to the standard technique in our center (supine position with or without respiratory gating). The investigators want to compare the doses on the organs at risk (heart and lungs) in the different techniques.
