Understanding Dose Distribution and Second Cancer Risk in Radiotherapy with 60Co Teletherapy Beam
Introduction Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment for cancer, aiming to target tumor cells while sparing healthy tissues. However, radiation exposure to surrounding organs poses a risk of secondary malignancies. A recent study explores dose distribution in the lung and stomach and assesses second cancer risk due to outfield doses from a 60Co teletherapy beam. Visit…

PET/MRI in Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy (FSRT) for Skull Base Meningioma Recurrence: A Case Report
Introduction Meningiomas are one of the most common primary intracranial tumors, often requiring precise imaging for effective treatment. The integration of Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) has been instrumental in enhancing target delineation for Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy (FSRT), particularly in cases of recurrence.

Ependymomas with Extraneural Metastasis to Lung in Children: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review
Introduction Ependymomas, accounting for approximately 10% of pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors, are glial neoplasms that primarily arise from ependymal cells lining the cerebral ventricles and spinal canal. Although these tumors are generally confined to the CNS, extraneural metastasis (ENM) is a rare but concerning phenomenon. In this case report, we explore an instance…
