The impact of radiation therapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with positive post-chemotherapy FDG-PET or gallium-67 scans.

Journal article Ann Oncol · February 2011 Featured Work BACKGROUND: 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (PET) and gallium-67 citrate (gallium) response after chemotherapy are powerful prognostic factors in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, clinical outcomes when co ... Full text Link to item Cite

Factors associated with the development of brain metastases: analysis of 975 patients with early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Journal article Cancer · November 1, 2010 Featured Work BACKGROUND: The risk of developing brain metastases after definitive treatment of locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is approximately 30%-50%. The risk for patients with early stage disease is less defined. The authors sought to investigate ... Full text Link to item Cite

Paraganglioma of the head and neck: long-term local control with radiotherapy.

Journal article Am J Clin Oncol · June 2009 Featured Work OBJECTIVES: Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms of the head and neck. Treatment strategies include resection, definitive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), or observation alone. Due to their rarity and ind ...

Morbidity and prostate-specific antigen control of external beam radiation therapy plus low-dose-rate brachytherapy boost for low, intermediate, and high-risk prostate cancer.

Journal article Brachytherapy · 2009 Featured Work PURPOSE: Dose escalation has been shown beneficial in prostate cancer. Brachytherapy (BT) provides an opportunity for dose escalation beyond what can be safely delivered using only teletherapy methods. The purpose of this study was to determine cancer cont ...

Prone positioning causes the heart to be displaced anteriorly within the thorax: implications for breast cancer treatment.

Journal article Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys · March 1, 2008 Featured Work INTRODUCTION: Prone positioning has been suggested as an alternative to the conventional supine position for patients receiving breast radiotherapy, but few data exist on how this may alter heart location. We herein quantitatively compare the intrathoracic ... Full text Link to item Cite
