Whole body irradiation before bone marrow transplantation.

Preliminary results of hiperfraccionated total body irradiation (TBI) in eleven patients with acute leukemia (mean age 11.4 years) as conditioning for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation are presented. The linear accelerator was always used for photon irradiation in 3 daily fractions of 120 cGy, to a total dose of 1320 cGy in 4 days. With a follow-up of 3-24 months we obtained good results. The average time ...

The skin allograft reduces the incidence of mammary cancer in Co60-irradiated f...

Skin allografts were performed in 51 BALB/c female mice by means of an easy technique devised by the authors. The skin for the allografts was taken from C57BL/6 male mice. All the mice were homozygotic. One month after the graft, the female mice were irradiated with 400 cGy of Co60. A control group of 148 female mice belonging to the same strain and with the same age were irradiated in equal conditions. All the...

In this study was analysed the results of a group of patients with soft tissue sarcomas treated at the IPOFG Center of Lisbon from January 1979 to December 1988. All these cases were referred to the Radiotherapy Department for radiation treatment, which was given in 84% of the patients as a complement to surgery and in 16% was either combined with chemotherapy or given as exclusive therapy.

The radiotherapy of advanced breast cancer.

The authors discuss the indications for radiotherapy in late breast cancer, retrospectively analysing the experience of the Radiotherapy Department of the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Lisbon. Treatment results of locally advanced cancer (T4a-b-c) with megavoltage machines (telecobalt therapy) using two different types of fractionation regimes are discussed. They conclude that conventional fractionation r...
