radiosensitive tumours
Last reviewed 01/2018
Radiosensitive tumours are tumours which respond well to radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy may be effective alone, or may require the addition of cytotoxic chemotherapy as in the more advanced stages of a Wilm's tumour and Hodgkin's disease.
This group includes:
- malignant lymphomas
- seminomas
- medulloblastoma
- neuroblastoma
- Wilm's tumour
- early cervical carcinoma
- vaginal carcinoma
- most head and neck tumours
