Der Onkologe Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die Behandlung von Weichteilsarkomen erfordert ein koordiniertes, interdisziplinäres Vorgehen. Meist ist eine Strahlenbehandlung integraler Bestandteil der Therapie.

Methoden

Diese Arbeit basiert auf einer selektiven Literaturrecherche in der Datenbank PubMed zum Thema Strahlentherapie bei Weichteilsarkomen, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf erwachsenen Patienten.

Ergebnis

Es wird eine Übersicht über die Einordnung der Strahlentherapie in den multidisziplinären Therapieablauf gegeben. Die Indikationsstellung auch von Sondertechniken wie intraoperativer Bestrahlung und Brachytherapie sowie die Planung und Durchführung der Therapie werden erörtert, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf modernen Bestrahlungstechniken.

Schlussfolgerung

Die Indikationsstellung, Planung und Durchführung der Strahlenbehandlung bei Weichteilsarkomen sind komplex und von multiplen Faktoren abhängig.

Abstract

Background

The treatment of soft tissue sarcomas requires a coordinated multidisciplinary approach. In general, radiotherapy is an integral part of this treatment.

Methods

This work is based on a selective literature search in the PubMed database regarding radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas, with an emphasis on adult patients.

Results

An overview of the coordination of radiotherapy within the multidisciplinary treatment sequence is presented. The indication for radiotherapy and special techniques such as intraoperative radiotherapy and brachytherapy, as well as the planning and implementation of radiotherapy with an emphasis on modern radiation techniques is described.

Conclusion

The indication, planning, and implementation of radiotherapy is complex and depends on multiple parameters.
