Salvage photodynamic therapy for persistent oesophageal cancer after chemo/radiation therapyAlthough oesophagectomy has been regarded as the standard treatment for oesophageal cancer, over 50% of patients are inoperable at presentation and 60-70% of cases have locally advanced tumour at diagnosis. Of ...
Conventional clinical wisdom holds that chemotherapy and radiation induce genome-wide DNA damage that in a small percentage of patients causes malignant transformation of hematopoietic cells, leading to MDS or AML. But evidence from a study of patients with t-AML and t-MDS suggests that rather than...

The history of radiation research shows that clinical problems give rise to experimental studies and that, in turn, radiobiological findings contribute to the improvement of radiotherapeutic procedures. As long ago as 1922 Groover et al. (1922) and Hines
Then Kate Rackham experienced an allergic reaction to one of the chemotherapies she received. “She was really really poorly and spent a week in the hospital when we were supposed to be on holiday,” Mark Rackham says. “We tried to hang onto some hope that maybe the next treatment would...
How is radiation treatment done for prostate cancer? What is carcinoma cancer of the lung? Can immunotherapy cure stage 3 lung cancer? What are side effects of radiation treatment for prostate cancer? How often is chemo given for lung cancer?
The effectiveness and safety of open versus laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer after preoperative chemo-radiotherapy: a meta-analysis. Only a limited number of studies considered the combined chemo-radiation therapy after surgery for treating locally advanced rectal cancer. Comparative stu... Jun-Jie...
It remains controversial whether targeting tumour vasculature can improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. We report that radiation-induced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) leads to tumour vasculature with abnormal SMA+NG2+ pericyte recruitment du
