Hybrid treatment of a carotid body tumor
Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2017 Carotid body tumors are rare neuroendocrine tumors. Surgical intervention is indicated if symptoms due to enlargement or malignancy suspected; however, traditional operation can cause significant blood loss and carry high risks of morbidity.

Angiogenesis regulators as a possible key to accelerated growth of secondary tumors following primary tumor resection [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Resection of primary tumors is often followed by accelerated growth of metastases. Here we propose that this effect may be due to the fact that resection of primary tumor results in a decrease in the total systemic amount of angiogenesis stimulators, such as VEGF and bFGF.

A New Model of Thermal Propagation in Human Tissue by Using HIFU Application [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In outside the body HIFU treatment that focused ultrasound beams hit severely with cancer tissue layer especially the soft one, at the time of passage of the body different layers as long as they want to reach tumor, put their own way components under mechanical and even thermal influence and they can cause skin lesions.

Optimal Surface Marker Locations for Tumor Motion Estimation in Lung Cancer Radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2012 Using fiducial markers on patient's body surface to predict the tumor location is a widely used approach in lung cancer radiotherapy. The purpose of this work is to propose an algorithm that automatically identifies a sparse set of locations on the patient's surface with the optimal prediction power for the tumor motion. The sparse selection of markers
