1、【医学英文课件】 Understanding Radiation TherapyIntroduction to Radiation OncologyRadiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is the use of various forms of radiation to safely and effectively treat cancer and other diseases.Radiation therapy has been an effective tool for treating cancer for more than 100 ...
Specific details are given below for protection in radiation therapy, interventional procedures, and nuclear medicine. If an unintended or accidental exposure occurs, it is necessary to determine the doses involved, identify any corrective actions needed to prevent recurrence, and implement 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 ...
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...
Among early-stage post-hysterectomy uterine cervical cancer patients, post-operative pelvic radiation therapy improves pelvic control in patients with intermediate-risk prognostic factors, while concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) improves overall survival in patients with high-risk prognostic factors7,8...
The impact of schizophoran flies on human civilisation and science has been tremendous [6]. Along with species of veterinary and medical concern (e.g. screwworms, bot flies, tsetse flies) and benefit (forensic blow flies, debridement therapy maggots), nuisance house flies, and agricultural pests...
3. Drugs therapy of RIHDThere is currently no effective treatment for RIHD, in particular for the prevention of over-exposure. Improvements in radiotherapy regimens to decrease exposure to normal healthy tissue near tumor cells are considered to be primary prevention [18]. As early as in the ...

where researchers were interested in testing fast neutron therapy on her. This type of therapy—a specialized and powerful form of external beam radiation therapy—is often used to treat certain tumors that are radio-resistant, meaning they are extremely hard to kill using X-ray radiation therapy...
the dosimetrist. In state410, the dosimetrist evaluates the selected treatment outcome and creates a treatment delivery plan that is specific to the patient. In state412, a radiation therapy machine delivers radiation treatment to the patient based on the delivery plan created by the dosime...
