High-voltage irradiation and combination chemotherapy for malignant pheochromocytoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The authors developed fluoroscopic real-time tumor-tracking radiation therapy (RTRT) by insertion of a gold marker using bronchofiberscopy to reduce uncertainties in organ motion and set-up error in external radiotherapy for moving tumors. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate RTRT's feasibility i...
