Lung volume reproducibility under ABC control and self-sustained breath-holding.
(WILEY, 2017-03-01)An Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) can be employed to induce breath-holds during CT imaging and radiotherapy of lung, breast and liver cancer, and recently during lung cancer MRI. The apparatus measures and controls ... -
Lutetium-177-PSMA-617 for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2021-09-16)BACKGROUND: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains fatal despite recent advances. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Lutetium-177 ... -
Lysine-targeting covalent inhibitors
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-12-14)Targeted Covalent Inhibitors (TCIs) represent an increasingly important strategy in modern drug discovery. TCIs exploit high affinity, reversible ligands which are then modified with modestly-reactive electrophilic warheads ... -
Lysine-Targeting Covalent Inhibitors.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2017-11-27)Targeted covalent inhibitors have gained widespread attention in drug discovery as a validated method to circumvent acquired resistance in oncology. This strategy exploits small-molecule/protein crystal structures to design ... -
Lysyl oxidase drives tumour progression by trapping EGF receptors at the cell surface.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-18)Lysyl oxidase (LOX) remodels the tumour microenvironment by cross-linking the extracellular matrix. LOX overexpression is associated with poor cancer outcomes. Here, we find that LOX regulates the epidermal growth factor ... -
Machine learning for normal tissue complication probability prediction: Predictive power with versatility and easy implementation.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A popular Normal tissue Complication (NTCP) model deployed to predict radiotherapy (RT) toxicity is the Lyman-Burman Kutcher (LKB) model of tissue complication. Despite the LKB model's popularity, ... -
Macrophage-Derived IL1β and TNFα Regulate Arginine Metabolism in Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-02-01)Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood solid tumor, yet the prognosis for high-risk disease remains poor. We demonstrate here that arginase 2 (ARG2) drives neuroblastoma cell proliferation via regulation of arginine ... -
Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy for the treatment of bladder and pancreatic cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-08-05)Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has many postulated benefits over conventional radiotherapy treatment techniques. Its superior soft tissue definition, lack of imaging related ionising radiation and the ... -
Magnetic resonance image guided adaptive radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)Multiple challenges exist in radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer. These lead to uncertainty and error in dose delivered to the tumour target and organs at risk (OARs). Adequate planning target volume (PTV) ... -
Magnetic resonance image-guided adaptive radiotherapy enables safe CTV-to-PTV margin reduction in prostate cancer: a cine MRI motion study.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2024-06-04)INTRODUCTION: We aimed to establish if stereotactic body radiotherapy to the prostate can be delivered safely using reduced clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) margins on the 1.5T MR-Linac (MRL) ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)Radiotherapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy allows daily adaptive replanning and can improve ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging sequence evaluation of an MR Linac system; early clinical experience.
(Elsevier BV, 2019-12-16)OBJECTIVES: To systematically identify the preferred magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences following volunteer imaging on a 1.5 Tesla (T) MR-Linear Accelerator (MR Linac) for future protocol development. METHODS: ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A "Game Changer" for Prostate Treatment?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)Radiation therapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. With a low estimated α/β ratio, a larger dose per fraction would be beneficial, with moderate ... -
Magnetic resonance linear accelerator technology and adaptive radiation therapy: An overview for clinicians.
Radiation therapy (RT) continues to play an important role in the treatment of cancer. Adaptive RT (ART) is a novel method through which RT treatments are evolving. With the ART approach, computed tomography or magnetic ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)-Based Methods for Examining Cancer Metabolism in Response to Oncogenic Kinase Drug Treatment.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Study Glycolytic Metabolism During Autophagy.
(ELSEVIER ACADEMIC PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)Cancer cells undergoing starvation- and treatment-induced autophagy were found to exhibit reduced intracellular lactate, reduced rates of steady-state lactate excretion and reduced real-time pyruvate-lactate exchange rates, ... -
