A Longitudinal Metagenomic Comparative Analysis of Oral Microbiome Shifts in Patients Receiving Proton Radiation Versus Photon Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer

Journal of Cancer and Allied Specialties, 2023
Introduction: Due to the radiation-sparing effects on salivary gland acini, changes in the composition of the oral microbiome may be a driver for improved outcomes in patients receiving proton radiation with potentially worse outcomes in patients ...

Nanomedicine‐Enabled Photonic Thermogaseous Cancer Therapy [PDF]

Advanced Science, 2019
AbstractLocal photothermal hyperthermia for tumor ablation and specific stimuliresponsive gas therapy feature the merits of remote operation, noninvasive intervention, and in situ tumor‐specific activation in cancer‐therapeutic biomedicine. Inspired by synergistic/sequential therapeutic modality, herein a novel therapeutic modality is reported based on

In vivo wireless photonic photodynamic therapy [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Significance The low penetration of light through tissue currently limits the therapeutic depth of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to less than a centimeter, even at near-infrared wavelengths. We report a wireless photonic approach to PDT in which miniaturized implantable devices deliver controlled doses of light by wireless powering through thick

Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress [PDF]

, 2014
It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumours. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumours with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and ...

Feasibility of Dose Escalation in Patients With Intracranial Pediatric Ependymoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Background and purpose: Pediatric ependymoma carries a dismal prognosis, mainly owing to local relapse within RT fields. The current prospective European approach is to increase the radiation dose with a sequential hypofractionated stereotactic boost. In
