Catheter-based RS therapy delivers beads embedded with radioisotope yttrium-90 (Y-90) to destroy tumors in the liver while sparing much of the surrounding healthy tissue. Cone-beam CT imaging is used to distinguish segments of the liver, provide a detailed view of its complex vasculature, and ...
A new way to fight liver cancers ; Miami Valley Hospital is using radiation filled beads on tumors.Ben Sutherly
Radioembolization is a technique used for liver cancer in which radioactive beads called microspheres are injected into the artery feeding the tumor (ACS 2014a; Kishore 2017). Brachytherapy implants may stay in place for minutes to days, or in some cases, permanently. The intensity of the ...

No radio-protectors or radio-mitigators are currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention or treatment of ARS, although amifostine is approved to reduce the toxicity of radiation during cancer treatment [4]. A third category, radiotherapeutics, are also delivered...

this approach may offer a simple and effective strategy that allows use of off-the-shelf treatment components to achieve a personalized in situ vaccine effect that might transform a patient’s tumor into a site for activation of an adaptive T cell response against that patient’s own cancer ...
Glioblastoma contains a rare population of self-renewing brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) which are endowed with properties to proliferate, spur the growth of new tumors, and at the same time, evade ionizing radiation (IR) and chemotherapy. However, the dr
