Institutional experience of using active breathing control for paediatric and teenage patients receiving thoraco-abdominal radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)
INTRODUCTION: Active Breathing Control (ABC) is a motion management strategy that facilitates reproducible breath-hold for thoracic radiotherapy (RT), which may reduce radiation dose to organs at risk (OARs). Reduction of ...
Questions to guide cancer evolution as a framework for furthering progress in cancer research and sustainable patient outcomes.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2022-07-04)
We appear to be faced with 'two truths' in cancer-one of major advances and successes and another one of remaining short-comings and significant challenges. Despite decades of research and substantial progress in treating ...
ATR inhibitors as a synthetic lethal therapy for tumours deficient in ARID1A.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-12-13)
Identifying genetic biomarkers of synthetic lethal drug sensitivity effects provides one approach to the development of targeted cancer therapies. Mutations in ARID1A represent one of the most common molecular alterations ...
HSP90 inhibition sensitizes head and neck cancer to platin-based chemoradiotherapy by modulation of the DNA damage response resulting in chromosomal fragmentation.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-01-31)
BACKGROUND: Concurrent cisplatin radiotherapy (CCRT) is a current standard-of-care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, CCRT is frequently ineffective in patients with advanced ...
Multi-Channel Optical Coherence Elastography Using Relative and Absolute Shear-Wave Time of Flight.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-01-20)
Elastography, the imaging of elastic properties of soft tissues, is well developed for macroscopic clinical imaging of soft tissues and can provide useful information about various pathological processes which is complementary ...
Accelerating Live Single-Cell Signalling Studies.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2017-05-01)
The dynamics of signalling networks that couple environmental conditions with cellular behaviour can now be characterised in exquisite detail using live single-cell imaging experiments. Recent improvements in our abilities ...
Towards real-time photon Monte Carlo dose calculation in the cloud.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017-06-07)
Near real-time application of Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation in clinic and research is hindered by the long computational runtimes of established software. Currently, fast MC software solutions are available utilising ...
Long-Term Follow-Up of the Intergroup Exemestane Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-08-01)
Purpose The Intergroup Exemestane Study, an investigator-led study of 4,724 postmenopausal patients with early breast cancer (clinical trial information: ISRCTN11883920), has previously demonstrated that a switch from ...
Radiographic progression with nonrising PSA in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: post hoc analysis of PREVAIL.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Advanced prostate cancer is a phenotypically diverse disease that evolves through multiple clinical courses. PSA level is the most widely used parameter for disease monitoring, but it has well-recognized ...
Ultrasound Tomography Evaluation of Breast Density: A Comparison With Noncontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-06-01)
OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound tomography (UST) is an emerging whole-breast 3-dimensional imaging technique that obtains quantitative tomograms of speed of sound of the entire breast. The imaged parameter is the speed of sound ...
