As Technology Progresses, Aneurysm Treatments Become Safer and More Reasonable to Consider

Observing the 2.4 mm aneurysm in one female patient seemed reasonable in 2013. But when the evolution of endovascular techniques and technology provided an opportunity to cure her aneurysm in 2024, the 70-year-old patient sought treatment at Mount Sinai’s Cerebrovascular Center. By then, imaging had revealed the aneurysm to be nearly 7 mm in size.

Fox Chase Cancer Center Researchers Show Adaptive Radiation Therapy Delivers Treatment More Effectively in Study Presented at American Society for Radiation Oncology Meeting

Online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) delivered radiation more effectively than conventional radiation therapy in nearly half of patients, while also helping to decrease radiation dose to the esophagus in a majority of patients with thoracic spine tumors. That’s according to the results of a study presented today by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
