Sentence examples for focal boosting from inspiring English sources

Studies evaluating focal boosting to both single and multifocal DILs using both LDR and HDR have emerged recently.

These promising hypothesis-generating studies require robust long-term control and toxicity data, but they do indicate that focal boosting (and focal salvage therapy) using mpMRI-guided HDR and LDR is a feasible method for dose escalation while minimizing OAR toxicities.

Radiation exposure included: whole brain, whole brain plus a focal boost, or focal brain.

Ahmed et al. (2012) showed excellent 12 month outcomes and urinary toxicity following LDR BT focal boost (Ahmed et al. 2012).

Most of these studies used high doses of WBRT up to 45 Gy and some included focal boost.

Approaches to partial-prostate gland treatment include hemigland therapy, the addition of a focal boost to whole-gland therapy, and finally treatment of a focal region alone.

Other, less-studied partial approaches to deliver radiotherapy include hemigland high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy 10 and a focal boost to a course of whole-gland radiation.

In the latter experiences, the focal boost has been delivered with differential dose external beam radiation, differential HDR brachytherapy, and LDR brachytherapy.

The patient underwent radiation therapy on the whole neuroaxis (40 Gy in 20 sessions with focal boost of 2 × 5 Gy on tumor site) plus concomitant daily temozolomide, followed by maintenance temozolomide.

14 While the outcomes of focal boost added to whole-gland treatments cannot easily be compared to hemigland or focal experiences, acceptable and, in some cases, reduced toxicity were demonstrated and provided a basis for a movement toward a focal delivery of radiation.

Create a focal point, boost light and add depth all at once by papering a wall and hanging a mirror on top.
