No significant difference between the proportions of serum and urine positivity for anti-HAV IgA was noted (P > 0.05 for each). Using seroreactivity as a "gold standard," the sensitivity and specificity for anti-HAV IgM, anti-HAV IgG, and anti-HAV IgA tests with urine as a specimen were...
Radiotherapy-induced prodrug activation provides an ideal solution to reduce the systemic toxicity of chemotherapy in cancer therapy, but the scope of the radiation-activated protecting groups is limited. Here we present that the well-established photoin
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of adding one cycle of concomitant chemotherapy to curative radiotherapy on tumor control and toxicity in the treatment of anal cancer. Methods and Materials: One hundred twenty-five patients completed curative sphincter-conserving treatment, 57 with radiotherapy alone and...
The benefit of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both as a palliative treatment of advanced or is uncertain.: To assess the effects of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in the management of in people with inoperable advanced disease.: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (...
Therefore, nanocarriers pharmacological properties such as half-life, toxicity, hemolysis of erythrocytes, and recognition by host immune cells, could be improved by PEGylation of Au NPs which close the MSN pores30,31. Cancer chemotherapy suffers from several challenges induced by severe side effects...
Combined immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy can synergistically improve the outcome of patients treated for cancer14. However, selecting the best treatment according to liver disease and liver function is a challenge in patients with advanced HCC17. Whether immunotherapy combined with ...
Importance Induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy is recommended for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma but is associated with higher rates of acute toxic effects and low compliance. Evidence on de-escalating treatment intensity after induction chemotherapy is limited. Objective To...
The addition of radiotherapy to chemotherapy has probably little or no difference on OS (HR 0.48; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.22 to 1.06; P = 0.07, moderate- quality evidence), however two included trials had potential other high risk of bias due to a high number of patients not ...
difference significance of the data.RESULTS The surveys indicated the infection rate was 44.36% and without the sex difference.The infection rate among old inpatients with lung cancer was the highest and counted for 69.39% and then with radiotherapy and chemotherapy that was 56.96%.Respiratory ...
Radiotherapy (RT) is delivered for purposes of local control, but can also exert systemic effect on remote and non-irradiated tumor deposits, which is called abscopal effect. The view of RT as a simple local treatment has dramatically changed in recent years, and it is now widely accepted th...
