Photodynamic therapy of endobronchial tumors

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1986
AbstractAfter presensitization with IV hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD), neoplasms in the tracheobronchial tree of 18 patients were treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 630‐nm light from a tunable dye argon laser system delivered through quartz fibers passed through the biopsy channel of a flexible bronchoscope under local anesthesia.

Anti-tumor gene therapy

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 1997
Gene therapy as an anti-tumor strategy is becoming a powerful tool for cytokine delivery to inhibit the growth of many tumors. Several delivery systems are being utilized and designed for the expression of specific genes to achieve a therapeutic result.

Radiation Therapy: Orbital Tumors

2013
Orbital tumors are rare overall, comprising 0.1% of all tumors and less than 20% of all orbital diseases. Tumors may be benign, locally aggressive, or malignant. Of the malignant tumors, lymphomas and metastases are the most common and are primarily seen in the elderly population.

Electron Therapy of Intraorbital Tumors

Radiology, 1977
The authors describe a modification of a previously reported method of treating intraorbital tumors using multiple electron beams. An adjustable metal shield is inserted in the electron tube to protect the lens. The three-dimensional dose distribution was determined by film measurements and the film density measured with an RFA-1 densitometer on line ...

Radiation Therapy in Wilms' Tumor

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
The pioneering work of Gross and Neuhauser26indicated that early surgery and routine postoperative irradiation gave the best survival rates in children with Wilms' tumor, and it has become standard practice in many centers to deliver routine postoperative irradiation to the tumor bed of these patients.

Therapy of Salivary Gland Tumors

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1966
PATIENTS with lesions of the major salivary glands must be investigated thoroughly to determine the nature of the disorder. It is desirable that the physician differentiate neoplastic from non-neoplastic disease before treatment is started. In some patients this differentiation is self-evident, while in others it is more difficult. Diagnostic Criteria

Therapy-associated Solid Tumors

Acta Oncologica, 2002
As survival after a diagnosis of cancer improves, characterization of the late sequelae of treatment becomes critical. The development of second malignant neoplasms represents one of the most serious side effects of treatment with radiation and chemotherapy.

Monoclonal Antibodies in Tumor Therapy

1996
It is now almost two decades since the basis of hybridoma technology was established and it has subsequently been rapidly applied to problems of tumor biology. It is just a decade since gene technology manipulations (Jones et al. 1986) were successfully applied to antibodies, and the expansion of this approach has led to a number of fundamental ...
