Development in radiotherapy of head and neck cance
Not long ago, a series of stereotactic radiotherapy for tumors of the head and neck region was proposed by the department of oncology, Southwestern Hospital of the Third Military Medical University. Following clinical verification, the suggested method effectively improved the therapeutic effect for cancers of the head and neck regions, and reduced the complications of radiotherapy.
They designed and prepared a special assembly of stereotactic system for radiotherapy of cancers of the head and neck regions, and developed the stereotactic technique for application in the domain of routine radiotherapy. Upon this foundation, they combined the localization device with the system of three dimensional treatment program. The purpose was solution of precise calculation of the usually adopted three dimensional TPS dosage which often was difficult during actual practice, i.e., the problem of inconsistency of treatment technique and the actual radiation. The adoption of stereotactic radiotherapy for the difficult, late and recurrent cases of cancers of the head and neck regions which are difficult to be treated with routine radiotherapy, effectively improved the patients' quality of life and prolonged their survival., 百拇医药
