Linear Accelerator-Based Fractionated Radiotherapy

摘要: The benefit of fractionated radiation therapy lies primarily in its ability to preferentially reduce tumor cell populations while sparing normal tissue. In the last 20 years, there has been substantial evolution and advancement computing physics technology, which enabled a new breed radiotherapy equipment capable delivering treatments with high precision conformality. Investigations continue into various aspects craniopharyngioma management, but are currently clear historical data support addition setting subtotal resection or biopsy only. There exists some debate about timing adjuvant radiation, most institutions implementing immediate rather than delaying it until recurrence. Follow-up after should be responsibility oncologist for at least 5 years.
