Stereotactic Radiosurgery-Definitions
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a way of treating
brain disorders with a precise delivery of a single high dose of radiation
in a one-day session. Treatment involves the use of focused radiation beams
delivered to a specific area of the brain to treat abnormalities, tumors
or other functional disorders. Body stereotactic radiosurgery does not
exist because there is no way to immobilize the body to treat a tumor in
one session the way the head can be secured. Fractionated stereotactic
radiation treatments - which are received over a period of days or weeks
- may be administered in the body with the assistance of removable masks
and frames that achieve some degree of lesser mobilization.

Surgery (General)

If the tumor is high grade, surgery should be followed by radiation or
chemotherapy to help prevent further spread.

Suppression File
The Suppression File requirement was part of the CAN
SPAM Act of 2003,(link to the FTC). The purpose of the file is to ensure
that email receipients that have opted-out of receiving any further emails
from the sender do not receive any emails from that sender.
In compliance with the CAN SPAM Act of 2003, Publishers
inserts a footer in all email messages to allow the email recipient to
opt out of receiving future emails from sender.
Advertisers must also include a link or email address
within their message that allows recipients to opt out of any of the advertiser’s
future broadcasts.
Advertisers must supply a suppression file that includes
all of their opt outs from previous broadcasts. Any of the opt outs contained
on the advertiser’s suppression file that match to Publishers email addresses
will be removed prior to transmission. If an advertiser does not have a
suppression file, they must send an email stating that fact. |
