This chapter summarizes the present clinical aspects of chemo- and/or radiation therapy and LNM in GI cancers from a limited number of studies. Neoadjuvant therapy may reduce LNM in patients with esophageal cancer, and LNM has an equal negative impact on prognosis as in node-positive patients. ...
For the parameters of the chemo-effect model, we used the 60 Gy arm of the RTOG 9410 trial which was designed to compare concurrent and sequential chemo-radiation therapy8. The enrolled patient numbers is over 200 per arm, prescription includes cisplatin at 100 mg/m3on days 1 and 29 ...
Hormone therapy, also called hormone treatment or hormonal therapy, which treats cancers that use hormones to grow (such asbreast cancerandprostate cancer). Stem cell transplants. Doctors use chemo or radiation to destroy as many cancer cells as possible, then try to replace them with healthy st...
After surgery, when active immunotherapy was administered before radiation, radiation and chemotherapy, complication rates were lower. For newly diagnosed glioblastoma in adults, applying active immunotherapy after total resection but before the other complementary treatment options is associated with lower ...
Multimodal nanoparticles, utilizing quantum dots (QDs), mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), offer substantial potential as a smart and targeted drug delivery system for simultaneous cancer therapy and imaging. This me
In this study, we evaluated whether the addition of YIV-906, a novel herbal medicine proven to reduce GI toxicity associated with chemotherapy could also reduce GI side effects during standard pre-operative capecitabine and pelvic radiation therapy (RT) in the neoadjuvant setting for the treatment ...
Overexpression of O-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) contributes to resistance to chemo-radiation therapy (CRT) in brain tumors. We previously demonstrated that non-ablative radiation improved delivery of anti-MGMT morpholino oligonucleotides (AMONs) to reduce MGMT levels in subcutaneous tumor ...
Radiation therapy alone for stage I (UICC T1N0M0) squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus: Indications for surgery or combined chemoradiotherapy Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify the efficacy and limitations of radiation therapy (RT) for superficial esophageal carcinoma, an...

PD-L1 expression in CTCs was assessed by immunofluorescence and qPCR and monitored through the course of treatment. Overall, PD-L1(+) CTCs were detected in 25 out of 38 samples (69.4%) with an average of 4.5 cells/ml. After initiation of radiation therapy, the proportion of PD-L1(+) ...
