Descriptor English: Hemibody Irradiation
Descriptor Spanish: Irradiación de Hemicuerpo
Descriptor irradiación hemicorporal
Entry term(s) irradiación de medio cuerpo
irradiación secuencial de los hemicuerpos
irradiación sistémica de los hemicuerpos
Scope note: Irradiación de una mitad o de ambas mitades del cuerpo en el tratamiento del cáncer diseminado o de la diseminación de metástasis. Se utiliza para tratar las metástasis difusas en una sesión, en oposición a campos múltiples durante un período extendido. Las modalidades de tratamiento más frecuentes son la irradiación del hemicuerpo superior (IHCS) o irradiación del hemicuerpo inferior (IHCI). Menos común es la irradiación del medio del cuerpo (IMC). En el tratamiento secuencial de ambas mitades del cuerpo, la irradiación de un hemicuerpo permite la radioterapia de todo el cuerpo con dosis mayores de radiación que las que se darían con la IRRADIACIÓN CORPORAL TOTAL. A veces se denomina irradiación 'sistémica' del hemicuerpo con referencia a su empleo en el cáncer diseminado o las metástasis. (Traducción libre del original: P. Rubin et al. Cancer, Vol 55, p2210, 1985)

Scope note: Irradiation of one half or both halves of the body in the treatment of disseminated cancer or widespread metastases. It is used to treat diffuse metastases in one session as opposed to multiple fields over an extended period. The more frequent treatment modalities are upper hemibody irradiation (UHBI) or lower hemibody irradiation (LHBI). Less common is mid-body irradiation (MBI). In the treatment of both halves of the body sequentially, hemibody irradiation permits radiotherapy of the whole body with larger doses of radiation than could be accomplished with WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION. It is sometimes called "systemic" hemibody irradiation with reference to its use in widespread cancer or metastases. (P. Rubin et al. Cancer, Vol 55, p2210, 1985)
