Application of Brachytherapy in Postoperative Treatment of Keloid‐Prone Patients

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Keloids are benign fibroproliferative tumors that often recur after surgical excision. Combining surgery with postoperative radiotherapy has emerged as a potential treatment strategy, though optimal radiotherapy protocols remain debated.

Very late local recurrence of uveal melanoma following successful trans-scleral local resection

Current Problems in Cancer: Case Reports, 2020
A 39-year old Caucasian man underwent extensive trans-scleral iridocyclochoroidectomy (without adjuvant plaque brachytherapy or proton beam therapy) for a large choroidal and ciliary body melanoma in 1989. The resected tumour was of spindle cell type and

Generation of 3D reference dosimetric datasets towards adoption of model‐based dose calculations for permanent implant prostate brachytherapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Purpose This work aims to create and validate a comprehensive set of test cases and 3D reference dosimetric datasets for model‐based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) in permanent implant prostate brachytherapy. These test cases address the limits of the standard TG‐43 formalism towards improving dose evaluations in prostate cancer ...

Melanoma of the Choroid and Ciliary Body in Children: Remission of Metastatic Melanoma of the Choroid After Treatment With Chemotherapy and Immune Checkpoint Inhibition

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma is the most common malignant primary intraocular tumor in adults, associated with high mortality. Pediatric uveal melanoma generally has a more favorable course. However, when metastasis occurs, therapeutic options are limited.

Nanobiotechnology‐Based Approaches for Uveal Melanoma Treatment

SmartMat, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Emerging platforms for uveal melanoma combine precision drug delivery, ROS‐amplifying modalities, and nucleic acid transport to overcome ocular barriers and immunosuppressive niches. Targeted nanoparticles, virus‐like constructs, and injectable depots enable localized activation, controlled release, and gene‐level reprogramming.

Quantifying stent‐induced dose perturbations in intravascular brachytherapy using 3D‐ printed phantoms and film dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is the narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup. A common treatment for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often involving stent placement. However, a common complication or in‐stent restenosis (ISR) can occur in 10%–20% of

Recent Progress in the Development of Metal‐Based Radiosensitizations for Cancer Therapy: A Review

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) remains an indispensable means in cancer treatment; however, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited by tumor radioresistance and side effect of damage to healthy tissue. The advances in nanotechnology have propelled metal radiosensitizers to forefront of precision medicine.

Efficacy and Safety of Punch Excision Combined With Adjuvant Therapies for Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids: A Narrative Review

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pathological scars manifest as firm, elevated, erythematous plaques, or nodules after skin injury. As challenging wound‐healing complications, hypertrophic scars and keloids significantly compromise aesthetics while causing functional impairment and psychosocial distress.

Clinical Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Diabetes mellitus is a well‐established risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with complex coronary anatomy. While percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has evolved, outcomes in patients with diabetes remain poorly characterized.
