Ultrasound B-lines for detection of late lung fibrosis in breast cancer patients after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer after conservative surgery can be life-saving but remains associated with significant late side effects, including... Maria,Fonte,Petruzzelli,... - 《...
Analysis of radiation pneumonitis and radiation-induced lung fibrosis in breast cancer patients after breast conservation treatment. We examined radiation pneumonitis in breast cancer patients after breast conservation treatment (BCT) and analysed the degree of radiation-induced lung fib... A Nishioka,Y ...
Differentially gene expression between patients with either very low or very high risk of radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) in patient-derived fibroblasts after irradiation has previously been reported. In the present study, we are investigating the robustness of radiation-induced changes in gene expressi...
Background Since the introduction of breast-conserving treatment, various radiation doses after lumpectomy have been used. In a phase 3 randomised controlled trial, we investigated the effect of a radiation boost of 16 Gy on overall survival, local control, and fibrosis for patients with stage I...
Background Radiation fibrosis is not easily measurable although clinical scores have been developed for this purpose. Biomarkers present an alternative more objective approach to quantification, and estimation in blood provides accessible samples. We investigated if blood cytokines could be used to measure...
Method: Fibrosis/hyalinisation without other features obtained following an US guided biopsy at Ealing Hospital between January 2015 and June 2017 were audited. The clinical and imaging grades and the histology result were recorded. If the MDT decided to repeat the biopsy, the technique and result...
Grade 3 fibrosis was observed in 1 patient (2.2%). No patient developed grade 3 teleangiectasia. Fat necrosis requiring surgical intervention occurred in 1 woman (2.2%). Cosmetic results were rated excellent or good in 36 patients (80%). Conclusions: Fifteen-year results with APBI using HDR...
[50,51]. Al-Hajj et al. were the first to note the existence of CSCs in BC; they successfully induced xenograft tumors to grow in immune-deficient mice [52]. Small quantities of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) can generate tumors, and they are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation [...
Sixty-nine percent of all patients underwent a primary procedure, 19% had a history of severe capsular fibrosis. During follow-up, a hematoma was observed in 2% and a seroma in 5%. Leakage occurred in 3% (one iatrogenic and two cases of unknown reason), a Baker 3 in 6% (12 months)....
