Diffusion-weighted MRI for detecting prostate tumour in men at increased genetic risk.
(Elsevier BV, 2014-09-07)
BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI is invaluable in detecting prostate cancer. We determined its sensitivity and specificity and established interobserver agreement for detecting tumour in men with a family history ...
Ultrasound-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of placental vasculature
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2015-04-01)
Comparison of optimised endovaginal vs external array coil T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging techniques for detecting suspected early stage (IA/IB1) uterine cervical cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2016-04-01)
OBJECTIVE: To compare sensitivity and specificity of endovaginal versus external-array coil T2-W and T2-W + DWI for detecting and staging small cervical tumours. METHODS: Optimised endovaginal and external array coil MRI ...
Evaluation of diffusion models in breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2015-08-01)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the microvascular pseudodiffusion effects resulting with non-monoexponential behavior are present in breast cancer, taking into account tumor spatial heterogeneity. ...
Temporal regularization of ultrasound-based liver motion estimation for image-guided radiation therapy.
(WILEY, 2016-01-01)
PURPOSE: Ultrasound-based motion estimation is an expanding subfield of image-guided radiation therapy. Although ultrasound can detect tissue motion that is a fraction of a millimeter, its accuracy is variable. For controlling ...
Classification of fibroglandular tissue distribution in the breast based on radiotherapy planning CT.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of breast tissues is required for a number of applications such as model based deformable registration in breast radiotherapy. The accuracy of breast tissue segmentation is affected by the ...
Combination Therapy With Reovirus and Anti-PD-1 Blockade Controls Tumor Growth Through Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-01-01)
Oncolytic reovirus can be delivered both systemically and intratumorally, in both preclinical models and in early phase clinical trials. Reovirus has direct oncolytic activity against a variety of tumor types and antitumor ...
Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor AT7519 as a Potential Drug for MYCN-Dependent Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-11-15)
PURPOSE: MYCN-dependent neuroblastomas have low cure rates with current multimodal treatment regimens and novel therapeutic drugs are therefore urgently needed. In previous preclinical studies, we have shown that targeted ...
VICTOR: Vinflunine in advanced metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium: A retrospective analysis of the use of vinflunine in multi-centre real life setting as second line chemotherapy through Free of Charge Programme for patients in the UK and Ireland.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2015-03-01)
There is no standard of care in the UK or Ireland for second-line chemotherapy for patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma (TCCU). Vinflunine is approved for TCCU patients who have failed a platinum-based regimen, ...
Magnitude of observer error using cone beam CT for prostate interfraction motion estimation: effect of reducing scan length or increasing exposure.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2015-10-01)
OBJECTIVE: Cone beam CT (CBCT) enables soft-tissue registration to planning CT for position verification in radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the interobserver error (IOE) in prostate position verification ...
