Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in bilateral retinoblastoma

Radiology and Oncology, 2010
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for retinoblastoma has traditionally been done with conventional radiotherapy techniques which resulted high doses to the surrounding normal tissues.A 20 month-old girl with group D bilateral retinoblastoma underwent intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to both eyes after failing chemoreduction and focal therapies ...

Emerging role of ARHGAP29 in melanoma cell phenotype switching

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study gives first insights into the role of ARHGAP29 in malignant melanoma. ARHGAP29 was revealed to be connected to tumor cell plasticity, promoting a mesenchymal‐like, invasive phenotype and driving tumor progression. Further, it modulates cell spreading by influencing RhoA/ROCK signaling and affects SMAD2 activity. Rho GTPase‐activating protein

Current advances in radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas

Nowotwory, 2020
Radiotherapy (RT) is a part of the routine treatment of locally advanced or high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). However, RT has changed significantly over the last 20 years. Modern RT techniques have extended its potential application in STS treatment.

Comparative toxicity outcomes of proton‐beam therapy versus intensity‐modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer in the postoperative setting

Cancer, 2019
Despite increasing utilization of proton‐beam therapy (PBT) in the postprostatectomy setting, no data exist regarding toxicity outcomes relative to intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
