Comparison of three reference methods for the measurement of intracellular pH using 31P MRS in healthy volunteers and patients with lymphoma.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014-02-01)31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) can measure intracellular pH (pHi) using the chemical shift difference between pH-dependent inorganic phosphate (Pi) and a pH-independent reference peak. This study compared ... -
Compartmental Model for 223Ra-Dichloride in Patients With Metastatic Bone Disease From Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-06-04)PURPOSE: 223Ra-Dichloride is used for treatment of patients with metastatic bone disease from castration-resistant prostate cancer. The uptake and mechanism of action of 223Ra-Dichloride is not well understood. The aim of ... -
Computational Image Analysis of T-Cell Infiltrates in Resectable Gastric Cancer: Association with Survival and Molecular Subtypes.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-01-04)BACKGROUND: Gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancers (GCs) frequently recur after resection, but markers to predict recurrence risk are missing. T-cell infiltrates have been validated as prognostic markers in other ... -
Computational modelling of the cerebral cortical microvasculature: effect of x-ray microbeams versus broad beam irradiation.
(2017-05)Microbeam Radiation Therapy is an innovative pre-clinical strategy which uses arrays of parallel, tens of micrometres wide kilo-voltage photon beams to treat tumours. These x-ray beams are typically generated on a synchrotron ... -
Computational science-enabled radiological pathology for the non-invasive mapping of tumour heterogeneity in childhood neuroblastoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Neuroblastoma is a common childhood solid tumour that accounts for 15% of all cancer paediatric deaths. This thesis addresses key deficiencies in our ability to define, monitor and predict neuroblastoma heterogeneity for ... -
Computer-assisted diagnosis techniques (dermoscopy and spectroscopy-based) for diagnosing skin cancer in adults.
(WILEY, 2018-12-04)BACKGROUND: Early accurate detection of all skin cancer types is essential to guide appropriate management and to improve morbidity and survival. Melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are high-risk skin ... -
Consensus guidelines for the definition, detection and interpretation of immunogenic cell death.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-01)Cells succumbing to stress via regulated cell death (RCD) can initiate an adaptive immune response associated with immunological memory, provided they display sufficient antigenicity and adjuvanticity. Moreover, multiple ... -
Consistent and invertible deformation vector fields for a breathing anthropomorphic phantom: a post-processing framework for the XCAT phantom.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-08-13)Breathing motion is challenging for radiotherapy planning and delivery. This requires advanced four-dimensional (4D) imaging and motion mitigation strategies and associated validation tools with known deformations. Numerical ... -
Contrast enhancement of carotid adventitial vasa vasorum as a biomarker of radiation-induced atherosclerosis.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-07-01)PURPOSE: Abnormal proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum (vv) occurs early at sites of atherosclerosis and is thought to be an early biomarker of vascular damage. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect this ... -
Controversies in the management of clinical stage 1 testis cancer.
(CANADIAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, 2020-11-01)<jats:p>In November 2018, The Canadian Testis Cancer Workshop was convened. The two-day workshop involved urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, physician’s assistants, residents and ... -
Correlation between DNA damage responses of skin to a test dose of radiation and late adverse effects of earlier breast radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-05-15)AIM: To correlate residual double strand breaks (DSB) 24h after 4Gy test doses to skin in vivo and to lymphocytes in vitro with adverse effects of earlier breast radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients given whole ... -
Correlation between the radiation responses of fibroblasts cultured from individual patients and the risk of late reaction after breast radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-05-01)Late normal tissue toxicity varies widely between patients and limits breast radiotherapy dose. Here we aimed to determine its relationship to DNA damage responses of fibroblast cultures from individual patients. Thirty-five ... -
