  • Internal Radiation Therapy, Places Radioactive Material Directly Inside Or Next to the Tumor
    Brachytherapy Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It places radioactive sources inside the patient to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This allows your doctor to use a higher total dose of radiation to treat a smaller area in less time. Your doctor will tell you how to prepare and whether you will need medical imaging. Your doctor may use a computer program to plan your therapy. What is brachytherapy and how is it used? External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) directs high-energy x-ray beams at a tumor from outside the body. Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, places radioactive material directly inside or next to the tumor. It uses a higher total dose of radiation to treat a smaller area in less time than EBRT. Brachytherapy treats cancers throughout the body, including the: prostate - see the Prostate Cancer Treatment (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/pros_cancer) page cervix - see the Cervical Cancer Treatment (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/cervical-cancer-therapy) page head and neck - see the Head and Neck Cancer Treatment (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/hdneck) page skin breast - see the Breast Cancer Treatment (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/breast-cancer-therapy) page gallbladder uterus vagina lung - see the Lung Cancer Treatment (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/lung-cancer-therapy) page rectum eye Brachytherapy is seldom used in children. However, brachytherapy has the advantage of using a highly localized dose of radiation. This means that less radiation is delivered to surrounding tissue. This significantly decreases the risk of radiation-induced second malignancies, a serious concern in children.

  • Standards for Radiation Oncology
    Standards for Radiation Oncology Radiation Oncology is the independent field of medicine which deals with the therapeutic applications of radiant energy and its modifiers as well as the study and management of cancer and other diseases. The American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) is a nonprofit professional organization whose primary purposes are to advance the science of radiation oncology, improve service to patients, study the socioeconomic aspects of the practice of radiation oncology, and provide information to and encourage continuing education for radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and persons practicing in allied professional fields. As part of its mission, the American College of Radiation Oncology has developed a Practice Accreditation Program, consisting of standards for Radiation Oncology and standards for Physics/External Beam Therapy. Accreditation is a voluntary process in which professional peers identify standards indicative of a high quality practice in a given field, and which recognizes entities that meet these high professional standards. Each standard in ACRO’s Practice Accreditation Program requires extensive peer review and the approval of the ACRO Standards Committee as well as the ACRO Board of Chancellors. The standards recognize that the safe and effective use of ionizing radiation requires specific training, skills and techniques as described in this document. The ACRO will periodically define new standards for radiation oncology practice to help advance the science of radiation oncology and to improve the quality of service to patients throughout the United States. Existing standards will be reviewed for revision or renewal as appropriate on their third anniversary or sooner, if indicated. The ACRO standards are not rules, but rather attempts to define principles of practice that are indicative of high quality care in radiation oncology.

  • Updates in Assessment of the Breast After Neoadjuvant Treatment
    Updates in Assessment of The Breast After Neoadjuvant Treatment Laila Khazai 3/3/18 AJCC, 8th Edition AJCC • Pathologic Prognostic Stage is not applicable for patients who receive neoadjuvant therapy. • Pathologic staging includes all data used for clinical staging, plus data from surgical resection. • Information recorded should include: – Clinical Prognostic Stage. – The category information for either clinical (ycT and ycN) response to therapy if surgery is not performed, or pathologic (ypT and ypN) if surgery is performed. – Degree of response (complete, partial, none). AJCC • Post -treatment size should be estimated based on the best combination of imaging, gross, and microscopic histological findings. • The ypT is determined by measuring the largest single focus of residual invasive tumor, with a modifier (m) indicating multiple foci of residual tumor. • This measurement does not include areas of fibrosis within the tumor bed. • When the only residual cancer intravascular or intralymphatic (LVI), the yPT0 category is assigned, but it is not classified as complete pathologic response. A formal system (i.e. RCB, Miller-Payne, Chevalier, …) may be offered in the report. Otherwise, description of the distance over which tumor foci extend, the number of tumor foci present, or the number of tumor slides/blocks in which tumor appears might be offered. AJCC • The ypN categories are the same as those used for pN. • Only the largest contiguous focus of residual tumor is used for classification (treatment associated fibrosis is not included). • Inclusion of additional information such as distance over which tumor foci extend and the number of tumor foci present, may assist the clinician in estimating the extent of residual disease.

  • Oncology 101 Dictionary
    ONCOLOGY 101 DICTIONARY ACUTE: Symptoms or signs that begin and worsen quickly; not chronic. Example: James experienced acute vomiting after receiving his cancer treatments. ADENOCARCINOMA: Cancer that begins in glandular (secretory) cells. Glandular cells are found in tissue that lines certain internal organs and makes and releases substances in the body, such as mucus, digestive juices, or other fluids. Most cancers of the breast, pancreas, lung, prostate, and colon are adenocarcinomas. Example: The vast majority of rectal cancers are adenocarcinomas. ADENOMA: A tumor that is not cancer. It starts in gland-like cells of the epithelial tissue (thin layer of tissue that covers organs, glands, and other structures within the body). Example: Liver adenomas are rare but can be a cause of abdominal pain. ADJUVANT: Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back. Adjuvant therapy may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or biological therapy. Example: The decision to use adjuvant therapy often depends on cancer staging at diagnosis and risk factors of recurrence. BENIGN: Not cancerous. Benign tumors may grow larger but do not spread to other parts of the body. Also called nonmalignant. Example: Mary was relieved when her doctor said the mole on her skin was benign and did not require any further intervention. BIOMARKER TESTING: A group of tests that may be ordered to look for genetic alterations for which there are specific therapies available. The test results may identify certain cancer cells that can be treated with targeted therapies. May also be referred to as genetic testing, molecular testing, molecular profiling, or mutation testing.

  • The Impact of County-Level Radiation Oncologist Density on Prostate Cancer Mortality in the United States
    Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2012) 15, 391 -- 396 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1365-7852/12 www.nature.com/pcan ORIGINAL ARTICLE The impact of county-level radiation oncologist density on prostate cancer mortality in the United States S Aneja1 and JB Yu1,2,3 BACKGROUND: The distribution of radiation oncologists across the United States varies significantly among geographic regions. Accompanying these variations exist geographic variations in prostate cancer mortality. Prostate cancer outcomes have been linked to variations in urologist density, however, the impact of geographic variation in the radiation oncologist workforce and prostate cancer mortality has yet to be investigated. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of increasing radiation oncologist density on regional prostate cancer mortality. METHODS: Using county-level prostate cancer mortality data from the National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control as well as physician workforce and health system data from the Area Resource File a regression model was built for prostate cancer mortality controlling for categorized radiation oncologist density, urologist density, county socioeconomic factors and pre-existing health system infrastructure. RESULTS: There was statistically significant reduction in prostate cancer mortality (3.91--5.45% reduction in mortality) in counties with at least 1 radiation oncologist compared with counties lacking radiation oncologists. However, increasing the density of radiation oncologists beyond 1 per 100 000 residents did not yield statistically significant incremental reductions in prostate cancer mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of at least one radiation oncologist is associated with significant reductions in prostate cancer mortality within that county. However, the incremental benefit of increasing radiation oncologist density exhibits a plateau effect providing marginal benefit.
