Response to “Radiation Therapeutic Gain and Asian Botanicals,” by Stephen Sagar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Numerous botanical agents, many of which are used in whole medical system practices (i.e. traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, etc.), have been shown to exhibit radiomodifying effects on tumors and normal tissues in-vitro and invivo studies.

Effect of variations in atelectasis on tumor displacement during radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose Atelectasis (AT), or collapsed lung, is frequently associated with central lung tumors. We investigated the variation of atelectasis volumes during radiation therapy and analyzed the effect of AT volume changes on the reproducibility of the ...
