Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a proliferative disease of Langerhans' cells that has multiple clinical manifestations including diabetes insipidus (DI). This study reviews the effectiveness of hypothalamic-pituitary radiation therapy (HPRT) as a treatment of LCH-induced DI in the modern era
Correlations between infiltration of immunologic cells in tumor tissues and prognosis of radiation therapy were investigated for 275 patients with cervical cancer who were treated with radiation therapy alone, including 216 patients with Stage III squamous cell carcinomas and 59 with adenocarcinomas
