Postoperative radiation therapy for adenocarcinoma of the cecum using two fractions per day
International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics
|October 1, 1984
Abstract:
Twenty-one patients with adenocarcinoma of the cecum received post-operative local and regional radiation therapy, using two fractions per day. Six lesions were too extensive for any attempt at removal, and none of these was controlled by the irradiation. However, there have been no local recurrences among the 15 who had all or most of the local tumor excised. This local control rate is significantly better than that reported for definitive surgery alone.

01:13Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
