Late side effects after image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy compared to 3D-conformal radiation therapy for prostate cancer: results from 2 prospective cohorts. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2016;9
Around 50% of patients with solid malignant tumours receive radiation therapy with curative or palliative intent at some point in the course of their disease. Early and late side effects limit radiation dose and might affect the long-term health-related quality of life of the patient. The classi...
radiation side effects;neural stem cell;redox proteomics 1. Introduction Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the most effective treatments for primary and secondary brain tumors in adult and pediatric patients. However, cranial irradiation induces cognitive decline and intellectual dysfunction, such as impa...
What are the side effects of radiation therapy? With radiation therapy, the side effects depend on the treatment dose and the part of the body that is treated. The most common side effects are: tiredness and skin reactions (such as a rash or redness, permanent pigmentation, and scarring) ...
glycol (PEG) based hydrogel designed to temporarily create space between the prostate and rectum, and reduce the radiation dose delivered to the rectum during radiation therapy.1,2It has been clinically shown to help reduce the side effects of radiation therapy on patient quality of life....
Thus, the search for biological response modifiers that could potentiate the therapeutic effects of radiation and limit the occurrence of serious side effects is an important task in prostate cancer therapy. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(calcitriol), the active metabolite of vitamin D, and its analogues ...
