Description

Dynamic pion irradiation of deep tumours has been available at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research (SIN) since November 1981. The first patients with nondifferentiated astrocytomas were treated at the end of 1983. For dose distribution optimization, the computer was fed with contours for the target volume which trailed the CT images of the tumor volumes at a distance between 1-2 cm. 52 patients had been treated by the end of 1986. 12 patients were treated with an accelerated radiotherapy scheme. The results are demonstrated and discussed in detail. (orig./MG)

Abstract (German)

Die dynamische Pionenbestrahlung tief liegender Tumoren war am SIN seit November 1981 moeglich. Patienten mit undifferenzierten Astrozytomen wurden erstmals Ende 1983 behandelt. Die dem Computer fuer die Optimierung der Dosisverteilung mitgeteilten Konturen fuer das Zielvolumen folgten im Abstand von 1-2 cm dem auf den CT-Schnitten dargestellten Tumorvolumen. Bis Ende 1986 wurden 52 Patienten behandelt. Zwoelf Patienten wurden nach einem akzelerierten Behandlungsschema bestrahlt. (orig./MG)
