There are two main types of radiation therapy. In external radiation therapy a beam of radiation is directed from outside the body at the cancer. In internal radiation therapy, called brachytherapy or implant therapy, where a source of radioactivity is surgically placed inside the body near the ...
While the worst accidents can be devastating, most radiation therapy "is very good," Dr. Mettler said. "And while there are accidents, you wouldn't want to scare people to death where they don't get needed radiation therapy." Because New York State is a leader in monitoring radiotherapy ...
Future research to investigate the influence of the gut microbiome on the incidence and severity of radiotherapy-induced mucositis is warranted, with a view toward modulating the microbiome composition to improve cancer therapy outcomes. Fourth, findings from most analyses of the gut microbiome ...
Multikilocurie γ sources, such as 5.27-yr 60Co sources, are used in many hospitals for radiation therapy, such as radiation destruction of malignant tumors. Such large γ sources are also used extensively for the sterilization of packaged medical instruments and of certain kinds of perishable ...

PDAC tumors also exhibit a high degree of radioresistance often resulting in tumor progression even during therapy [125]. As in case of chemoresistance, the responsible mechanisms appear to be multifactorial. From a biophysical point of view, the hypoxic PDAC microenvironment reduces the biological eff...
The dose deposited outside of the treatment field during external photon beam radiation therapy treatment, also known as out-of-field dose, is the subject of extensive study as it may be associated with a higher risk of developing a second cancer and could have deleterious effects on the immun...
When compared with other vaccines and radiations, NTAP is considered the most promising therapy against cancers and viruses because it has no harmful effects on healthy organs in biological systems [132]. As shown in Figure 7, NTAP is composed of free electrons, atoms, and molecules in ...
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of the magnetic impact of an electrically conducted incompressible fluid; it has received attention because of its major applications in different areas, such as X-ray radiation, crystal growth, asthma treatment, tumor therapy, plasma, fusing metal in electric...
