NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA TREATED WITH PRECISION-ORIENTED RADIATION THERAPY TECHNIQUES INCLUDING INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIOTHERAPY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

This paper reports preliminary results with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Between August 2000 and May 2001, we treated 19 patients with NPC using IMRT.Twelve patients had stage I-II disease and seven had stage III-IV disease.Six patients received 9.0-19.8 Gy Girls Backpack three-dimensional conformal radi

We report renal salvage maneuvers after accidental bilateral renal artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.A 79-year-old man with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with endovascular aneurysm repair.Completion angiography demonstrated coverage of the renal arteries.Several reva
