Brain irradiation after glio- blastoma tumor removal not only targets remaining tumor cell niches but also brain vascular endothelial cells that, given their close presence to blood oxygen, are highly sus- ceptible to radiation damage. As a result, bystander effects propagating along the network ...
Patients should see their oncologist (cancer doctor) at least once within the first few weeks after their final radiation treatment. They should also see an oncologist every six to twelve months for the rest of their lives so they can be checked to see if the tumor has reappeared or spread...
Different types of DCs function differently. Conventional type I dendritic cells (CD103+cDC1) cross-presented antigens on MHC class I to CD8+T cells, recruited T cells to the tumor by producing CXCL9 and CXCL10 and produced IL-12 after sensing IFN-γ released from T cells,59,60leading t...
Longo and his co-investigators studied the combination of fasting with radiation therapy and with the chemotherapy drug Temozolomide, currently the standard treatment for the treatment of brain tumors in adults after an attempt at surgical removal. They found that controlled short-term fasting in mice...
One patient had a partial flap necrosis after EBRT that was treated with flap removal. Six deaths were recorded during the mean follow-up period of 8 months; none of the deaths was related to radiation treatment. The authors concluded that these findings showed that the use of IORT as an ...
Radiation retinopathy (RR) is a major side effect of ocular tumor treatment by plaque brachytherapy or proton beam therapy. RR manifests as delayed and progressive microvasculopathy, ischemia and macular edema, ultimately leading to vision loss, neovascu
Twelve cases of (4, 8, recurrent 3, primary 9) were treated with ACNU and radiation with sensitizing agents after the surgical removal of the . BUdR, (Ara-A), (ACV) were applied for sensitizing agents. BUdR was administrated intraarterially prior to radiation (380 rad, two times a week...
M ultime dia Fatal Radiation Soon after the accident, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, state health officials cautioned hospitals to be extra careful with linear accelerators, machines that generate beams of high-energy radiation. But on the day of the warning, at the State University ...
Chemotherapy, infection and anti-infective drugs contribute to CKD after BMT and RAAS-inhibition does not mitigate all forms of renal injury. RAAS-inhibition is also beneficial in radiation injuries in lungs [98] and brain [99]. These findings urgently raise the question, whether RAAS plays a ...
It is an effective method after incomplete removal, as well. We retrospectively reviewed the experience at our Institute to determine the role of Stereotactic Irradiation in complex treatment in such patients. Materials and Methods: 156 patients with intracranial PA irradiated at Burdenko Institute ...
