In only a limited way has there been a close cooperation between surgery and radiation therapy in the field of breast cancer. While it represents one of the largest groups of cancer, it has not generally received the cooperative effort between surgery and irradiation that has been...
Unusual selective hydrogenation of the phenyl ring in phthalimide is accomplished with moderately active core-shell Pt3Ni@Rh pentagons and starfish-like nanoparticles. The most active paddlewheel structure proceeds to further reduce one carbonyl group, indicating the sequential nature of phthalimide ...
BREAST CANCER INDUCED BY RADIATIONBREAST CANCER INDUCED BY RADIATIONSince Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray in 1895, scientists and society in general have been continuously impressed and surprised by its properties. Impressiveness reflects mainly the many applications that have been devised for X-ray...
Breast cancer is a largely PREVENTABLE disease, and we reach that good news because of our finding that a large share of recent and current breast cancer in the United States is CERTAINLY due to past medical irradiation of the breasts with x-rays at all ages, including infancy and childhood....
Results: MF exposure induced significant cell growth inhibition and apoptosis in an intensity- and time-dependent manner, in which cell cycle arrest, cleaved Caspase-3, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased. Pretreatment with a Caspase-3 inhibitor or antioxidant, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC),...
It's still breast cancer, even if it's in another organ. For example, if breast cancer spreads to your lungs, that doesn't mean you have lung cancer. Although it can spread to any part of your body, there are certain places it's most likely to go to, including the lymph nodes, ...
During the past decade, improvements in treatment-planning tools, computer and imaging technologies, and new therapeutic modalities have allowed radiation to be delivered in a conformal fashion while minimizing treatment toxicity. It is important that physicians involved in breast cancer treatment recognize...
Purpose: An applicator is described for endocavitary treatment of rectal cancers using a high dose rate (HDR) remote afterloading system with a single high-intensity Ir-192 source as an alternative to the 50 kVp x-ray therapy contact unit most frequently used in this application. Methods and ...
therapeutic X-rays are the most common treatment modality for cancer, with over 50% of all patients receiving it, it is estimated that approximately 11 million women being treated for invasive breast cancer in the United States alone could benefit from to continued exploration of imaging in vivo...
To evaluate the resources and techniques used in the irradiation of patients with breast cancer after lumpectomy or mastectomy and the status of implementation of new techniques and therapeutic schedules in our country. Background The demand for cancer care has increased among the Spanish population,...
