Clinical Guidance for the Management of Patients with Urothelial Cancers During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Rapid Review.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-06-01)
The current COVID-19 pandemic presents a substantial obstacle to cancer patient care. Data from China as well as risk models suppose that cancer patients, particularly those on active, immunosuppressive therapies are at ...
A randomised Phase II trial of carboplatin and gemcitabine ± vandetanib in first-line treatment of patients with advanced urothelial cell cancer not suitable to receive cisplatin.
(WILEY, 2020-05-19)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of the dual epidermal growth factor receptor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, vandetanib, in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine in the ...
Changing paradigms in the treatment of residual/recurrent head and neck cancer: implications for dysphagia management.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-01)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite advances in head and neck cancer treatment provision, recurrence rates remain high with the added risk of successfully treated patients developing a second primary. We report on the management ...
Improving 3D ultrasound prostate localisation in radiotherapy through increased automation of interfraction matching.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Daily image guidance is standard care for prostate radiotherapy. Innovations which improve the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound guidance are needed, particularly with respect to reducing ...
Diffusion model comparison identifies distinct tumor sub-regions and tracks treatment response.
(WILEY, 2020-09-01)
PURPOSE: MRI biomarkers of tumor response to treatment are typically obtained from parameters derived from a model applied to pre-treatment and post-treatment data. However, as tumors are spatially and temporally heterogeneous, ...
A reformulation of pLSA for uncertainty estimation and hypothesis testing in bio-imaging.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-07-01)
MOTIVATION: Probabilistic latent semantic analysis (pLSA) is commonly applied to describe mass spectra (MS) images. However, the method does not provide certain outputs necessary for the quantitative scientific interpretation ...
Delayed contrast dynamics as marker of regional impairment in pulmonary fibrosis using 5D MRI - a pilot study.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-09-01)
OBJECTIVE: To analyse delayed contrast dynamics of fibrotic lesions in interstitial lung disease (ILD) using five dimensional (5D) MRI and to correlate contrast dynamics with disease severity. METHODS: 20 patients (mean ...
Inter-observer agreement of baseline whole body MRI in multiple myeloma.
(BMC, 2020-07-14)
BACKGROUND: Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now incorporated into international guidance for imaging patients with multiple myeloma. The aim of this study was to investigate inter-observer agreement of triple ...
Radioactive 3D printing for the production of molecular imaging phantoms.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-09-08)
Quality control tests of molecular imaging systems are hampered by the complexity of phantom preparation. It is proposed that radioisotopes can be directly incorporated into photo-polymer resins. Use of the radio-polymer ...
Telemedicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact on Care for Rare Cancers.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-06-01)
PURPOSE: Many patients with cancer, often those with rare cancers such as sarcomas, travel long distances to access expert care. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread changes in delivery of cancer care, including ...
