Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It is obvious that, practice guidelines published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network in 2010 laid out recommended doses for conventionally fractionated radiation therapy in pleural mesothelioma: Radiation, energy released in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space, medical x-rays, and energy given off by a radioisotope (unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable). Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy). Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body. Also called irradiation and radiotherapy. Mesothelioma is a benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer) tumor affecting the lining of the chest or abdomen. Exposure to asbestos particles in the air increases the risk of developing malignant mesothelioma. Therapy, treatment.
- It seems to be, yoonSM, ChoiEK, LeeSW, YiBY, AhnSD, ShinSS.et al.Clinical results of stereotactic body frame based fractionated radiation therapy for primary or metastatic thoracic tumors.Acta Oncol. Metastatic, having to do with metastasis, which is the spread of cancer from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body. Thoracic, having to do with the chest. Clinical, having to do with the examination and treatment of patients.
- Finally, one can conclude that, PMID 7576756 -- Stereotactic high dose fraction radiation therapy of extracranial tumors using an accelerator. Extracranial, outside of the cranium (bones that surround the brain).
