Where There is No Evidence: Registry for Rare Benign Diseases

  • Chapter
Radiotherapy for Non-Malignant Disorders

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Radiat Oncol))

Abstract

In an American textbook on non-malignant disorders, there are about 133 listed indications for the application of radiotherapy (RT) in non-malignant disorders. These were screened among American radiation oncologists concerning whether they were accepted as treatment indications [47]. This professional acceptance is largely governed by theoretical knowledge, clinical experience and practical performance of the treatment; scientific publications are just an expression of a small portion of this theoretical and clinical presence.
