Half and total body radiation for carcinoma of the prostate.

Despite recent advances in the treatment of stage D carcinoma of the prostate many patients become refractory to all therapeutic modalities. Progressive and incapacitating pain is one of the most difficult symptoms to manage. Ten patients with severely symptomatic metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate have been treated with either single or sequential doses of half body radiation using 800 rad delivered by a Linac 10 mV linear accelerator. There were 15 courses of half body radiation delivered and a good to excellent response was noted in 11 instances. Results often were immediate and the duration of the response was variable. Treatment was well tolerated with no fatal complications. Half and total body radiation appears to offer significant palliation and its use with other forms of therapy warrants further investigation.

Further progress in CT scanning and computerized radiation therapy treatment planning.

Total body computed tomography has introduced a unique method of obtaining body contours as well as anatomical representations for radiation therapy treatment planning. CT scanning combined with computerized radiation therapy treatment planning has improved accuracy and contributed greatly to the solution of complex treatment problems. CT scans can also be used to evaluate the progress of patients undergoing radiation therapy.

The use of computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning.

In this treatment planning method, information from total body scans is fed into a radiation therapy treatment computer, the Artronix PC-12 system with 16K core. By providing an accurate profile of the patients's anatomy, total body computed tomography may contribute greatly to the solution of complex treatment problems involving the head and neck, thorax and abdomen.

Tracheo-bronchial stenosis--report of 3 cases.

Three cases of large airway stenosis of different aetiologies are reported. In the first case, tracheal stenosis occurred after endotracheal intubation. The second case developed bronchial stenosis as a sequelae to pulmonary tuberculosis. The third case had localized stenosis of the left main bronchus for which no cause could be found. The first case responded completely to dilatation while the 2nd case demonstrated only partial response. Third case did not improve significantly with dilatation.

Pulmonary hydatid disease presenting as non-resolving bilateral consolidations.

A 45-year-old female, post menopausal, presented with extensive bilateral radiological opacities in the lungs. Diagnosis of hydatid diseases was confirmed through open lung biopsy. Treatment with albendazole showed striking improvement in clinical symptoms as well as clearing of radiological shadows.
