MRI-based Assessment of 3D Intrafractional Motion of Head and Neck Cancer for Radiation Therapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)PURPOSE: To determine the 3-dimensional (3D) intrafractional motion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images from 56 patients with HNSCC ... -
MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy for prostate cancer: When do we need to account for intra-fraction motion?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-11-01)A shift of the daily plan can mitigate target position changes that occur between daily MR acquisition and treatment for MR-linac radiotherapy, but increases the session time. We demonstrated that our workflow strategy and ... -
MRI-guided lung SBRT: Present and future developments.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-12-01)Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is rapidly becoming an alternative to surgery for the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. Lung SBRT is administered in a hypo-fractionated, conformal manner, ... -
MRI-guided prostate adaptive radiotherapy - A systematic review.
(2016-06)Dose escalated radiotherapy improves outcomes for men with prostate cancer. A plateau for benefit from dose escalation using EBRT may not have been reached for some patients with higher risk disease. The use of increasingly ... -
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 ... -

Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Bladder Cancer: Development of VI-RADS (Vesical Imaging-Reporting And Data System).
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-09-01)CONTEXT: Management of bladder cancer (BC) is primarily driven by stage, grade, and biological potential. Knowledge of each is derived using clinical, histopathological, and radiological investigations. This multimodal ... -
Mutational signatures of ionizing radiation in second malignancies.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-09-12)Ionizing radiation is a potent carcinogen, inducing cancer through DNA damage. The signatures of mutations arising in human tissues following in vivo exposure to ionizing radiation have not been documented. Here, we searched ... -
Mutational spectrum in a worldwide study of 29,700 families with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
(WILEY-HINDAWI, 2018-05-01)The prevalence and spectrum of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been reported in single populations, with the majority of reports focused on White in Europe and North America. The Consortium of Investigators of ... -
MYCN expression induces replication stress and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-06-09)This study investigates the influence expression of the MYCN oncogene has on the DNA damage response, replication fork progression and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, ... -
Near-infrared dual bioluminescence imaging in mouse models of cancer using infraluciferin.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2019-10-15)Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is ubiquitous in scientific research for the sensitive tracking of biological processes in small animal models. However, due to the attenuation of visible light by tissue, and the limited set ... -
Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) for the local control of solid cancers: Challenges and potentials for human applications.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-05-01)Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) is a novel cancer-targeted treatment effected by a chemical conjugation between a photosensitiser (e.g. the NIR phthalocyanine dye IRDye700DX) and a cancer-targeting moiety (e.g. ... -
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting EGFR-Shedding new light on glioblastoma treatment.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-grade brain tumors, differentially driven by alterations (amplification, deletion or missense mutations) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), that carry a poor prognosis of just ... -
