Progress in molecular radiobiology has improved the understanding of the pathogenesis of side effects that develop months or years after radiotherapy has been completed. This knowledge will help to improve the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and the
WR2721 as a modulator of cisplatin-and carboplatin-induced side effects in comparison with other chemoprotective agents: a molecular approach Cisplatin is an active cytostatic that became successful in the treatment of several types of solid tumours after its nephrotoxic potential was controlled by hyd...
California. She had completed 10 cycles of cisplatin, a highly toxic chemo drug for her ovarian cancer and started having symptoms of painful peripheral neuropathy, or pain, in her hands. While vitamin E has the capacity to significantly reduce this type of nerve damage before the chemo drug i...
A median follow-up of six months after the randomized phase 3 trial showed the recurrence-free survival for the two arms of the trial were very similar: 59 percent for the group that got chemotherapy and radiation and 58 percent for chemotherapy alone. Patients who received both chemo and rad...
dramatically decreased in the last decades due to technological innovations (i.e. conformal techniques, respiratory gating, image-guided radiotherapy, tracking systems), less demolitive surgical approaches, new reconstructive techniques and better knowledge of radiotherapy interaction with chemo/hormono/...
You get most chemo medications through an injection into a vein. But you can get some types as a shot in your muscle, under your skin, or as an ointment or cream to put on your skin. The side effects vary from person to person, even if you have the same type of cancer and get ...
What are side effects of radiation treatment for prostate cancer? How often is chemo given for lung cancer? How does lung cancer affect gas exchange? What is adenocarcinoma lung cancer? How long does it take to recover from lung cancer surgery?
Radiation therapy is a common breast cancer treatment using high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells remaining in the breast or lymph nodes after surgery. Learn about how radiation therapy is delivered, side effects, and how it is used as part of an overa
COX-2 Inhibition Improves Chemo/Radiotherapy With celecoxib CO-2 inhibition, cancer cells become dramatically more sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Dr. Hashemi Goradel and colleagues conclude that COX-2 inhibition should be used as adjuvant with chemotherapy ...
