This common treatment uses high-energy particles or waves to destroy or damage cancer cells to keep them from spreading. It might be your only treatment, or you might get it along with surgery or chemotherapy. Radiationitself isn't painful, but afterward, you may have pain, fatigue, and ski...
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, RT can be applied to various cancers as both a radical cancer treatment and an adjuvant treatment before or after surgery. Although RT is an important modality for cancer treatment, the consequential changes caused by RT in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have not ...
To address this issue, over the last two decades the addition of either chemotherapy or radiation sensitisers to RT has been explored to improve local control. The evidence for these two treatment options has been has been provided by two randomised trials: the BC2001 trial showed an ...
Radiation therapy treatscancerby using high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. The goal is to destroy or damage the cancer without hurting too many healthy cells.It is given over a certain time period; it can be given around the time of surgery or chemotherapy. It can also be used to ease...
In this review, we examine the current literature on adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer and discuss the roles of radiation and chemotherapy, particularly in light of these new data and their applicability to the Western population. We highlight some of the ongoing and planned clinical trials in...
The treatment of colorectal liver metastases with conformal radiation therapy and regional che- motherapy.

From the combination of treatment-dependent perturbations of cell-cycle progression and cell-cycle-dependent therapeutic sensitivity we get the rationale behind the use of kinetically-based administration protocols of chemotherapy and radiation therapy: as a general consideration, favouring synchrony and ...
we observed a limited initial immune response, which was not improved by radiation, thereby making combination with checkpoint therapy ineffective. Therefore, Axl directed therapy in Axl expressing tumours could reprogram resistant tumours when combined with radiation or chemotherapy and immunotherapy. These...
10 This raises the question of whether chemotherapy can be properly omitted from a subgroup of this patient population when proper exclusion criteria are applied. The purpose of this clinical trial was to determine if the omission of concurrent chemotherapy (ie, treatment with IMRT alone) was non...
Conclusion: The results suggest that it is possible to expand haematopoietic cells after irradiation doses at least up to 2 Gy. This suggests a possible use of cell therapy for the treatment of radiation accident victims.doi:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2004.06.083...
