Meanings of external irradiation in English

This study aims to estimate the risk of hereditary effects attributable to therapeutic external irradiation in women.

An history of external irradiation was noted in 2.9% of the patients.

Incidence on lymph node metastasis, at autopsy, did not differ between the combined radiotherapy group and the external irradiation groups.

Conclusions: Acute toxicity has been acceptable with this unique approach using conformal high dose rate Ir-192 boost brachytherapy with concurrent external irradiation.

All toxicities were otherwise Grades 1 or 2 and were primarily as expected from pelvic external irradiation.

P53 expression in the HuH7 and HepG2 cell lines increased after internal and external irradiation with iodine-131.

Objective: Prospective evaluation of tumor regression during external irradiation for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and its association with long-term local control.

Radiotherapy was performed by combining external irradiation with intraluminal irradiation using low-dose-rate iridium (four 370-MBq wires) through a catheter with a spacer.

Curative intent external irradiation delivered 65-70 Gy over a period of 7 weeks (five 2 Gy fractions per week).

Historically, hypothyroidism after external irradiation of the thyroid in adulthood was considered not to develop below a 10-20 Gy dose threshold.

The patients who could be given intraluminal brachytherapy at the end of external irradiation of 60 Gy were stratified into 2 groups.

The cause-specific survival rate at 5 years was 27% in the external irradiation alone group and 38% in intraluminal brachytherapy combined group.

Methods and materials: Twenty patients with locally advanced gynecologic malignancies treated between May 1990 to October 1996 with external irradiation and one or two implants.

External irradiation and brachytherapy still have a major place in the treatment of cervix and endometrial carcinoma.

External irradiation was initially performed because of Jacksonian seizures due to a lesion in the right cerebral hemisphere.
