Journal ArticleDOI

Neurocognition in patients with brain metastases treated with radiosurgery or radiosurgery plus whole-brain irradiation: a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: Patients treated with SRS plus WBRT were at a greater risk of a significant decline in learning and memory function by 4 months compared with the group that received SRS alone, and patients treatment with a combination of SRS and close clinical monitoring was recommended as the preferred treatment strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stray radiation dose and second cancer risk for a pediatric patient receiving craniospinal irradiation with proton beams

TL;DR: A baseline estimate of the stray radiation dose and corresponding risk for a pediatric patient undergoing proton CSI is established and the suitability of passively-scattered proton beams for the treatment of central nervous system tumors in pediatric patients is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multimodality treatment of osteosarcoma: radiation in a high-risk cohort.

TL;DR: Chemotherapy during radiation and/or bone‐seeking radioisotope therapy (153‐samarium; 1 mCi/kg) during radiation may improve osteosarcoma cancer control.
