Skin toxicity was valuated according to Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria of the RTOG. Moreover, in a subgroup of 100 patients, we correlated the study of breast volume and features of treatment plans, with the addition of topic prophylactic treatment, using an oral therapy based on ...
A group of investigators in the United States has determined that radiation therapy may not be the best approach to treat breast cancer. Though the radiations kill off more than half of tumor cells every treatment, they also trigger changes in surviving cancer cells. These changes make them mor...
The researchers further found that patients who did not have CTCs in their peripheral bloodstream showed excellent outcomes whether they received radiation therapy or not. CTCs are found in an estimated 15 to 25 percent of patients with early-stage breast cancer. "Our findings provide initial robust...
The effect depends in part on how long you’re on treatment, the dosage, your age, and other things. Here are some ways that cancer therapies can affect your fertility: Chemotherapy may lower the number of eggs your body releases to be fertilized. Radiation may damage your ovaries and ...
Thus, treatment options for women with breast cancer have not advanced dramatically in some time. Interventions that form the basis of most breast cancer treatment regimens today—surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy—were fine-tuned from the 1980s into the early 21st century, ...
Radiation therapy for breast cancer patients who undergo oncoplastic surgery: localization of the tumor bed for the local boost. Introduction:Oncoplastic reconstructive surgery is performed in select patients with breast cancer to allow conservation treatment when the lumpectomy woul... RD Pezner,MC ...
During the past decade, improvements in treatment-planning tools, computer and imaging technologies, and new therapeutic modalities have allowed radiation to be delivered in a conformal fashion while minimizing treatment toxicity. It is important that physicians involved in breast cancer treatment recognize...
Deep learning for medical image analysis is a promising new avenue to predict treatment response, however the clinical application of these methods has been so far limited. Here, the authors propose a model to predict chemotherapy response in breast cancer in real world clinical settings. Yuan Gao...
INTRODUCTION: Twenty years ago prospective randomised controlled trials were initiated to compare conservative breast surgery plus radiation with radical mastectomy in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. The results have shown no... A Mannell - 《South African Journal of Surgery》 被引量: 63...
For breast cancer, RT is most often given after tumour resection. In cancers that are primarily treated with radiation (e.g. some head and neck cancers and bladder cancers) the hypoxic microenvironment remains and may even be enhanced due to radiation-induced tissue damage. The cells residing ...
