Additionally, X-rays find applications in industrial inspections, security screening, scientific research and cancer treatment through radiotherapy. What are X-rays made of? X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light but with much higher energy. They consist of photons,...
HSCT: How Does It Work? Letizia Galgano, Daphna Hutt, and Hilda Mekelenkamp 2 Abstract The HSCT (haematopoietic stem cell trans- plant) is a particular treatment for many hae- matological and non-haematological diseases. Broadly, there are three different categories of transplantation,...

The collected HSC are infused into a recipient (Gratwohl2018). Before the infusion, the recipient is treated with a conditioning regimen (see Chap.6), involving the use of different types and dosages of chemo and/or radiotherapy and/or immunosuppressant drugs (such as anti-thymocyte globulin)...
The therapy can go hand in hand with other forms of treatment like radiation therapy (chemo-radiotherapy), with the exposure to light (photo-chemotherapy) and surgery. History The term ‘chemotherapy’ was initially referred to as the treatment of non-oncological procedures including the antibiotics...

Suddenly a young female nurse came running back towards the duty room shouting for me to come quickly as there had been ‘an incident.’ The patient had made a break for freedom at the top of the stairs, the nurses had restrained him and hauled him to the floor. In bare feet, one ...
This may be due to different patient stages in the studies and different immune microenviron- ments after radiotherapy. Finally, a subset of patients suffer rapid tumor growth after ICIs, which is known as hyper-progressive disease (HPD). These HPD mutations have been found to be sig- nifi...
2. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects. 3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on...
