A method of radiation treatment for advanced neck node metastases.

Thirty-one advanced cervical node metastases (staged N3 according the U.I.C.C. system; 4 N2A, 27N3A according the A.J.C. system) were treated using a particular schedule consisting in two courses: in the first, only the palpable tumor was irradiated with several low energy beams (3.3 mm Al HVL), using as X ray tube operated at 60 kV; in the second course, the whole lymphatic area was treated with 60 Co and conventional fractionation. Palpable disease received 7500 to 10,500 cGy in a overall time of 45-55 days. The local control rate was 87%, without any severe complication. The four (13%) failures were all related to the lowest dose levels.

A simple method of preparing custom molds for intracavitary treatment of gynecological cancer.

Commercially available applicators are often unsuitable for achieving a satisfactory dose distribution in intracavitary radiotherapy of gynecological cancer. A simple, rapid and inexpensive method of preparing custom molds of plastic material without any intermediate passage is described. The molds are afterloaded with radium of other radioactive sources.

[Radiotherapy of carcinoma of the nasopharynz: clinical results (author's transl)].

A series of 64 patients with malignant tumours of the nasopharynx treated by cobalt irradiation is analyzed. The crude 5-year survival rate for the entire epithelial group was 32%; 55% for N- group, 25% for N+. Treatment methods avoiding complications are discussed.

[Fractionated low dose radiotherapy].

20 cases of head and neck cancer underwent radiotherapy at low dose rate (2 rad/min) in a clinical trial. Final results were unsatisfactory in terms of both survival and complications. A radiobiological analysis of the high rate of complications is made.

[Total dose determination at different dose rates in interstitial and endocavitary radiotherapy (author's transl)].

A method to determine biologically equivalent doses at different dose rates in interstitial and endocavitary radiotherapy is exposed. Doses may be directly determined by means of coefficients for single dose treatments and by means of N.S.D. concepts for fractionated schedules.

[Mathematical determination of treatment schedules according NSD concepts in radiotherapy (author's transl)].

A number of formulae are given enabling to solve mathematically, on the basis of the NSD concepts, many problems in practical radiotherapy. Detailed examples are reported.
