Recent Advances in Ferrite‐Based Materials for Biomedical Applications: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferrite nanoplatforms are presented as tunable biomedical materials in which synthesis control, cation engineering, defect/morphology regulation, and surface functionalization govern structure–property–bioactivity relationships. These design strategies enable multifunctional applications including MRI contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug ...

Ultra‐Radiostable Covalent Conformationally Interlocked Networks Enabling a Universal Radiometal‐Labeling Platform for Cancer Radioembolization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conjugated poly(imide dioxime)‐based microspheres establish a radiometal coordination‐driven conformational interlocked network with ultra‐high radiostability. This platform enables low‐temperature, multi‐radionuclide labeling for SPECT/PET/MRI imaging and radionuclide therapy. Mechanistic insights from EXAFS and DFT reveal enhanced stability, while in

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Local control and recurrence patterns after stereotactic irradiation delivered in more than 4 fractions for hepatocellular carcinomas and liver metastases: a retrospective study

Radiation Oncology
Background Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a safe and effective treatment for liver metastases or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a dose–response relationship for local control (LC). Proximity to organs at risk (OAR) often requires dose

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

The current status of brachytherapy in Europe − A GEC-ESTRO Brachy-HERO survey

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology
A survey regarding utilisation of brachytherapy was distributed to European brachytherapy professionals. Eighty replies from 26 countries were received, two of which were outside Europe. The replies showed that brachytherapy is still widely used.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Brachytherapy in the Management of Uveal Melanomas

Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2014
Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Clinical studies have shown similar patient survival rates after treatment of medium-sized melanomas when comparing plaque brachytherapy with radioactive iodine-125 versus enucleation. This

The Relevance of Curative‐Intent Metastasectomy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: Real‐World Insights From a Certified Comprehensive Cancer Center in Germany

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are ineligible for upfront metastasectomy may still become candidates for secondary metastasectomy with curative intent following response to primary chemotherapy. However, most studies dichotomize metastatic colorectal cancer into resectable and unresectable disease.
