Radiotherapy is a fundamental step in the treatment of breast cancer patients. The treatment efficiency is however reduced by the possible onset of radiation resistance. In order to develop the effective treatment approach, it is important to understand
proven cause of breast cancer, but it is astonishing that both lay and medical sources COMMONLY fail to mention this outstanding fact of medical science: Past medical exposure to ionizing radiation, 10, 20, 30, 40, and more years back in a woman's life, can cause breast cancer...
was enriched in six cancer types commonly exposed to radiation-based treatment (Extended Data Fig.2c), whereas the 5-fluorouracil25(SBS17a/b) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites from chemotreatments26(DBS2) also displayed greater metastatic mutation burden contribution in a tumour-type-spe...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been an ongoing pandemic causing
However, researchers questioned the validity of the earlier indirect estimates based on uncertain risk projections for radiation [16], whereas others declared that the findings of recent CT scan studies need to be interpreted with caution, due to the possibility of reverse causation [17]. Therefore...
to radiation damage. D0value represents the sensitivity to radiation damage. The smaller the D0value, the smaller the dose is required to kill a certain proportion of cells; Dq reflects the ability against DNA damage. The greater the Dq value, the greater the dose is required to induce cells...
Heavy ion refers to any particle that is heavier than helium with one or more units of electric charge. Due to their unique physical and biological characteristics, heavy ion beams are considered ideal for radiotherapy. Radiation treatment, as a common approach for battling tumors, has a history...
Some authors say that the higher incidence of TC is due to overdiagnosis [3]. Others believe that various additional factors may play a role in this observation, such as obesity and an increased exposure to ionizing radiation [4]. However, the fast increase in the occurrence of TC was ...
[64], who have fabricated solid lipid nanoparticles of baicalein that had an increase of over ~300% in relative oral bioavailability as compared to free flavonoid administration. The researchers also reported better radioprotection to healthy cells and sensitized cancer cells to radiation-induced ...
Lung cancer screening has the potential to cause harm, including false-positive results and incidental findings that can lead to subsequent testing and treatment, including the anxiety of living with a lung lesion that may be cancer. Overdiagnosis of lung cancer and the risks of radiation exposure...
