Immune Predictors of Radiotherapy Outcomes in Cervical Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals dynamic immune remodeling in cervical cancer following radiotherapy. Single‐cell analysis identifies the C3/C3AR1 axis as a central mediator of epithelial–myeloid crosstalk, whose inhibition reduces treatment efficacy in mice. Guided by these insights, the eight‐feature machine‐learning model: Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy Immune ...

Quantifying stent-induced dose perturbations in intravascular brachytherapy using 3D- printed phantoms and film dosimetry. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is the narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup. A common treatment for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often involving stent placement. However, a common complication or in‐stent restenosis (ISR) can occur in 10%–20% of

Transplantable melanomas in hamsters and gerbils as models for human melanoma : sensitization in melanoma radiotherapy : from animal models to clinical trials [PDF]

, 2018
The focus of the present review is to investigate the role of melanin in the radioprotection of melanoma and attempts to sensitize tumors to radiation by inhibiting melanogenesis. Early studies showed radical scavenging, oxygen consumption and adsorption

Effect of enzalutamide on anticoagulant therapy with edoxaban in patients with prostate cancer

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Treatment with enzalutamide in prostate cancer is challenging due to its high potential for drug–drug interactions, particularly in the typically older population of patients with frequent comorbidities treated with multiple drugs, such as anticoagulants.

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

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

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
