Do traditional risk stratification models for cerebrovascular events apply in irradiated head and neck cancer patients?
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Primary radical radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) often results in significant radiation dose to the carotid arteries. AIM: We assessed whether HNC patients are at increased risk of a cerebrovascular ...
Enhanced cytotoxicity of reovirus and radiotherapy in melanoma cells is mediated through increased viral replication and mitochondrial apoptotic signalling.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-07-26)
Oncolytic viruses selectively target and replicate in cancer cells, providing us with a unique tool with which to target and kill tumour cells. These viruses come from a diverse range of viral families including reovirus ...
A randomised controlled trial of Caphosol mouthwash in management of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-02-01)
PURPOSE: This phase III, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled study evaluated the efficacy of Caphosol mouthwash in the management of radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) in patients with head and neck cancer ...
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 ...
Laryngeal cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary guidelines.
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2016-05-01)
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. Significantly new data have been published on laryngeal cancer management since the ...
Inhibition of HOX/PBX dimer formation leads to necroptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-10-27)
The HOX genes encode a family of transcription factors that have key roles in both development and malignancy. Disrupting the interaction between HOX proteins and their binding partner, PBX, has been shown to cause apoptotic ...
Dose-limiting Urinary Toxicity With Pembrolizumab Combined With Weekly Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy in Bladder Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-08-01)
There is currently significant interest in the potential benefits of combining radiation and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to stimulate both regional and distant abscopal immune responses. In melanoma and lung cancer, ...
Triggering anti-GBM immune response with EGFR-mediated photoimmunotherapy.
(BMC, 2022-01-21)
BACKGROUND: Surgical resection followed by chemo-radiation postpones glioblastoma (GBM) progression and extends patient survival, but these tumours eventually recur. Multimodal treatment plans combining intraoperative ...
Oncolytic Immunotherapy for Bladder Cancer Using Coxsackie A21 Virus.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-06-29)
As a clinical setting in which local live biological therapy is already well established, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) presents intriguing opportunities for oncolytic virotherapy. Coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21) ...
