Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Elevated level of cholesterol is positively correlated to prostate cancer development and disease severity. Cholesterol‐lowering drugs, such as statins, are demonstrated to inhibit prostate cancer. VNPP433‐3β interrupts multiple signaling and metabolic pathways, including cholesterol biosynthesis, AR‐mediated transcription of several oncogenes, mRNA 5′

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Ultrasonography (US) and 99mTechnetium‐sestamibi scintigraphy (99mTc‐MIBI) are currently first‐line imaging modalities to localize parathyroid adenomas with sensitivities of 80% and 84%, respectively. Therefore, finding other modalities to further improve the diagnostic accuracy for preoperative localization is critically needed ...

Machine learning for automatic construction of pseudo-realistic pediatric abdominal phantoms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Machine Learning (ML) is proving extremely beneficial in many healthcare applications. In pediatric oncology, retrospective studies that investigate the relationship between treatment and late adverse effects still rely on simple heuristics. To assess the effects of radiation therapy, treatment plans are typically simulated on phantoms, i.e., virtual ...

Correction of megavoltage cone-beam CT images of the pelvic region based on phantom measurements for dose calculation purposes. [PDF]
, 2009 Megavoltage cone-beam CT (MVCBCT) is an imaging technology that provides a 3D representation of the patient in treatment position. Because it is a form of x-ray tomography, MVCBCT images give information about the attenuation coefficients of the imaged ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Statistical process control to monitor use of a web‐based autoplanning tool
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose To investigate the use of statistical process control (SPC) for quality assurance of an integrated web‐based autoplanning tool, Radiation Planning Assistant (RPA). Methods Automatically generated plans were downloaded and imported into two treatment planning systems (TPSs), RayStation and Eclipse, in which they were recalculated using ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TGF‐β has a complex role in cancer, exhibiting both tumor‐suppressive and tumor‐promoting properties. Using a series of differentiated tumoroids, derived from different stages and mutational background of colorectal cancer patients, we replicate this duality of TGF‐β in vitro. Notably, the atypical but highly aggressive KRASQ22K mutation rendered early‐

Treatment planning with a 2.5 MV photon beam for radiation therapy
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose The shallow depth of maximum dose and higher dose fall‐off gradient of a 2.5 MV beam along the central axis that is available for imaging on linear accelerators is investigated for treatment of shallow tumors and sparing the organs at risk (OARs) beyond it.
