Nanomedicine applications in lymphoma: Advancing precision diagnostics, targeted therapeutics, and prospective developments

VIEW, EarlyView.
Lymphoma is a group of blood cancers that can appear in lymph nodes, blood, bone marrow, spleen, liver, or the central nervous system, which makes drug delivery and disease monitoring difficult. This review summarizes how nanomedicine technologies may improve targeted treatment and imaging, while carefully separating approved or guideline‐supported ...

Understanding Current Trends and Advances in Transarterial Radioembolization Dosimetry

Diagnostics
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an established therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. Outcomes depend heavily on dosimetry, which has evolved from empirical and body-surface-area methods to partition and voxel-based approaches.

Treatment plan dosimetric impact after catheter stretch during multi-catheter interstitial breast brachytherapy

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017
Purpose: Nylon 6/6 interstitial brachytherapy catheters may stretch when exposed to moisture, mechanical tension, and body temperature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the magnitude of catheter stretch during a course of multi-catheter ...

Empty Versus Full Bladder Protocols in Radiotherapy Planning for Localised Prostate Cancer: A Dosimetric Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background When planning prostate radiotherapy, full bladder preparation is widely used to displace bowel and bladder from high‐dose regions but is difficult to reproduce and can prolong workflows. Methods Twenty men with localised prostate cancer ± seminal vesicles underwent CT simulation with full and empty bladders.

Reduced‐dose versus standard‐dose total body irradiation before allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Comparative data on reduced‐dose (8 Gy) versus standard‐dose (12 Gy) total body irradiation (TBI) before allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) remain limited. We retrospectively analysed 101 adults undergoing first allo‐HSCT between 1999 and 2024 after 8 Gy or 12 Gy ...

Electron Absorbed Fractions and S Factors for Intermediate Size Target Volumes: Comparison of Analytic Calculations and Monte Carlo Simulations

Applied Sciences
The absorbed fraction and the S factor represent fundamental quantities in MIRD-based dosimetry of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT). Although Monte Carlo (MC) simulations represent the gold standard in RPT dosimetry, dose point kernels (DPK) obtained ...
