In radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy), invisible high-energy rays or beams of subatomic particles are used to damage cancer cells and can stop them from growing and dividing. This ultimately can kill
Objective To compute and compare the tumor control probability (TCP) of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for breast cancer after conservative surgery based on two types of multileaf colimator (MLC) through a retrospective planning study. Methods For a group of 9 patients diagnosed with left...
One-year longitudinal study of fatigue, cognitive functions, and quality of life after adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2011;81(3):795-803.PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 5. Groenvold M, Petersen MA, Idler E, Bjorner JB, Fayers PM, Mouridsen HT. ...
Typical cancer treatments consist of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy, drugs, and bisphosphonates to name a few. Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used cancer treatments and the phrase chemotherapy literally stands for “cancer drug treatment”. The term simply ...
ctDNA status after radiotherapy (single time point) as well as during systemic therapy (longitudinally) was highly predictive of disease recurrence (p=0.007, p<0.0001 respectively).Abstract ID: 4525 | June 4, 2022, 1:15 PM-4:15 PM CDT Monito...
Because early-stage versus advanced-stage tumors are generally treated using different therapeutic modalities, we hypothesized that the prognostic effect of TmS is modified by treatment. Given that the TCGA and ICGC studies did not consistently include chemotherapy and radiotherapy information61, we ...
For invasive breast cancer, the options can be – Surgery of the breast Radiotherapy Chemotherapy Hormone therapy Targeted drug therapy 2.Invasive lobular breast cancer This type of cancer develops in the cells lining the lobules and cancer spreads to the surrounding breast tissue. The lobules have...
The exclusion criteria included: (1) pathological findings of cervical LNs were inconclusive; (2) patients with preoperative history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy; (3) clinical information was missing or imaging quality was poor; (4) peritumoral tissue was not sufficient for analysis. Figure 1 ...
Follicular thyroid carcinoma may be caused by ionizing radiation, exposure to head and neck X-rays particularly in childhood, therapeutic radiation, radiotherapy for certain cancers, iron deficiency, and research demonstrates from mutations of the ras oncogene. Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: This is the ...
To summarize, the potential positive effects of exercise for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy alone are uncertain, and the evidence base is weak. High-quality research into this area is crucial.Rigorous research exploring the ramifications of exercise programs for cancer patients undergoing ...
