Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Secondary to Disseminated Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG): A Steroid‐Sparing Strategy in a Patient Awaiting Cardiac Surgery—A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Hematology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We report a case of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to disseminated Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) infection in an 80‐year‐old man treated with intravesical BCG for non–muscle‐invasive bladder cancer. The patient presented with several weeks of constitutional symptoms including night sweats, fatigue, weight loss, confusion, and ...

A brief review of low-dose rate (LDR) and high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy boost for high-risk prostate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
For patients with unfavorable or high-risk prostate cancer, dose escalated radiation therapy leads to improved progression free survival but attempts to deliver increased dose by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone can be limited by late ...

Three-year outcomes of a once daily fractionation scheme for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using 3-D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to report 3-year outcomes of toxicity, cosmesis, and local control using a once daily fractionation scheme (49.95 Gy in 3.33 Gy once daily fractions) for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using three-dimensional ...

A review on radiochromic film dosimetry in radiation therapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Radiochromic films (RCFs) are ubiquitous in radiation oncology clinical and research settings to measure the radiation dose over a two‐dimensional (2D) area due to their high spatial resolution, water‐equivalency, and relative ease‐of‐use. Upon irradiation, the constituent monomers of the active layer of RCFs undergo polymerization, leading to

An absorbed dose‐based source strength determination for diffusing alpha‐emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) brachytherapy seeds – Proof of concept

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Background Diffusing alpha‐emitter radiation therapy (DaRT) is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials as an interstitial temporary brachytherapy source. However, determining source strength solely based on gamma spectrometry measurements of 224Ra activity has limitations. This method does not account for changes in the desorption

An Experimental Study on the Heat Enhancement and the Bio-Heat Transfer Using Gold Macro Road and Ultrasound: A Potential Alternative to Kill Cancer Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We have previously proposed a method of treating solid tumors with a combination of gold macro-rods irradiated with ultrasound. Macro particle sized rods offer a greater circumferential treatment area over nanoparticle options.

Reirradiation: Standards, challenges, and patient‐focused strategies across tumor types

open access: yesCA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Volume 75, Issue 6, Page 630-666, November/December 2025.
Abstract Reirradiation (reRT), defined as administering a course of radiation therapy to a specific area previously irradiated, is an evolving treatment strategy for locoregionally recurrent cancer that offers significant potential and poses inherent challenges.
