Purpose: Gold seed fiducial markers can be used to accurately define daily treatment field placement for prostate cancer patients. In 2007, a small study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using gold seed fiducial markers. Methods: Eleven patients who attended for treatment had three ...
In case of marker displacement, the actual positions of the gold markers were adjusted on the DRR.The value of the gold marker displacement due to the second HDR-brachytherapy was analyzed in all patients and for each gold marker by comparison of the marker positions in the prostate after ...
With direction from the data we present in this work, future studies are aimed at further characterizing and optimizing GNP parameters in vitro and in vivo using functionalization, fluorescent markers, and confocal imaging. With targeted NPs, selectively boosting radiation dose to tumors which have ...
Stability of serrated gold coil markers in prostate localization. Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics/American College of Medical Physics. 2011; 12 :3453.Gates LL, Gladstone DJ, Kasibhatla MS, Marshall JF, Seigne JD, Hug E, Hartford AC: Stability of serrated gold coil markers in ...
When conjugated to tumor-targeting ligands, the conjugated SERS nanoparticles were able to target tumor markers such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on human cancer cells and in xenograft tumor models. Interestingly, although the Raman spectra of the SERS nanoparticles were reported, the ...
(RBCs) and leukocytes.150,154,174,175 As an alternative stealth coating material, the membrane of these cells completely covers the NP surface with their "self- markers" (ie, proteins, glycans, and acidic sialyl moieties), and the resultant NPs, recognized as the host's own cells, can ...
Comparatively, PCR based MSI testing has the benefit of using a standard panel of MSI markers that are known for their sensitivity in detecting mismatch repair deficiencies. It requires A minimal DNA input, allowing it to be performed even when limited tumor tissue is available, and offers a ...
for therapeutic and diagnostic dual use45,46,47,48. Over the last years a vast variety of fluorescent markers, vector molecules, and drugs has been developed for Au NPs decoration49,50. While the Fe3O4part is the MRI contrast agent, it can also be used as a second binding site for ...
