Improvement of local control of T3 and T4 nasopharyngeal carcinoma by hyperfractionated radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy.

Journal article Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys · June 1, 2002 Featured Work PURPOSE: When the primary tumor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is treated at the base of skull and intracranium with conventional radiotherapy, the result is generally poor. In this report, we investigated whether hyperfractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) a ... Full text Link to item Cite

Concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy for early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Journal article J Clin Oncol · May 2000 Featured Work PURPOSE: Early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) continues to carry a failure rate of 15% to 30% when treated with radiotherapy alone; the benefit of concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CCRT) in early-stage NPC is unclear. The purpose of this rep ... Full text Link to item Cite

Local radiotherapy with or without transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Journal article Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys · May 1, 2000 Featured Work PURPOSE: To evaluate the treatment outcome, patterns of failure, and prognostic factors for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with local radiotherapy alone or as an adjunct to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). ...
