What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate and Severity of Adverse Reactions

    After enrollment, each patient has to receive physical examination, laboratory tests, and image studies as baseline. During the course of radiotherapy, patients will have weekly evaluations in physicals and laboratory tests. Image studies are optional during treatment. In the follow-up periods, monthly exams, including regular physicals, markers in serum and urine and image studies to evaluation treatment responses, will be scheduled till 90 days after the end of treatment.

    Time frame: Average 90 days after treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of System Errors

    During treatment, the frequency of operation of the system error will be recorded and analyzed to see if the system can run smoothly.

    Time frame: Average 100 days after treatment.

  2. Percentage of Each Target Lesion Evaluation Types.(1)Complete Response(2)Partial Response,(3)Progressive Disease,(4)Stable Disease,(5) Inevaluable

    Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors:(1)complete Response(CR),Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (2)Partial Response(PR), At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. (3)Progressive Disease(PD), At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (4)Stable Disease(SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. (5) Inevaluable (NE), Inevaluable for response: specify reasons (for example: early death, malignant disease; toxicity; tumor assessments not repeated/incomplete; other (specify).

    Time frame: Average 100 days after treatment.
