Quality of Life and Locoregional Disease Control Following Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Previously Irradiated Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Abstract

compared with preradiation therapy, and 26 patients who did not need hormone replacement after radiation therapy. Conclusion: Radiation therapy for intracranial germinoma resulted in excellent treatment outcome. Omitting spinal irradiation was feasible for germinoma with localized disease, but CSI was still recommended for multifocal disease. Serum and/or CSF b-HCG levels had no significant influence on treatment outcome.
