Beam angle optimization (BAO) technique for Tomotherapy was developed to reduce the normal lung dose for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Comparative analyses on plan quality by 3 different Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) methods with BAO were done. Ten consecutive stage...
In spite of a multitude of T-cell-specific markers, no CAR therapy is approved for T-ALL that efficiently targets malignant cells across all T-ALL subtypes while at the same time sparing mature, normal T cells. This would be crucial to avoid depletion of normal T cells, which is ...
external beam radiation therapy (EPIC-CP) expanded prostate cancer index composite for clinical practice (FACT-G) functional assessment of cancer therapy-general (FACIT-F) functional assessment of chronic illness therapy fatigue subscale 1. Introduction Radiotherapy is a vital component in the treatment...
Of note, stem cell therapy has been used in regenerative medicine to treat different types of diseases [7]. For example, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is widely accepted in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia [8]. Also, cardiac progenitor cells can rescue patients suffering from...
Nowadays, these materials are very attractive nano-carriers for delivery of drugs, proteins, and genes32,34. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive radiation therapy which use for treatment of types of cancers, cardiovascular and ophthalmic diseases. PDT is based on photo activation of ...
University of California, Los Angeles Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A study led by researchers from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center sheds light on testosterone recovery following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer, providing key ...
mixed infection The critical need for accurate target volume definition stems from its impact on the radiation exposure of normal brain tissue (NBT) via the PTV. Yet, the process of contouring resection cavities proves to be challenging. Subsequent investigations ought to pinpoint patients prone to...
Radiography Technique Projections The standard radiographic views for evaluation of the chest are the posteroanterior (PA) and lateral projections with the patient standing; such projections provide the essential requirement for proper three-dimensional
are generally treated with radiation and platinum- based combination chemotherapy regimens leading to substantial tumor shrinkage;4–7 however, similar survival is observed with pre- operative radiation therapy without chemotherapy.8,9 Currently, there are no good biomarkers for response to therapy.
