Patient-Reported Outcomes Over 5 Years After Whole- or Partial-Breast Radiotherapy: Longitudinal Analysis of the IMPORT LOW (CRUK/06/003) Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial.
(2019-02)
Purpose IMPORT LOW demonstrated noninferiority of partial-breast and reduced-dose radiotherapy versus whole-breast radiotherapy for local relapse and similar or reduced toxicity at 5 years. Comprehensive patient-reported ...
TP53 modulates radiotherapy fraction size sensitivity in normal and malignant cells.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-29)
Recent clinical trials in breast and prostate cancer have established that fewer, larger daily doses (fractions) of radiotherapy are safe and effective, but these do not represent personalised dosing on a patient-by-patient ...
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 ...
A multicentre study of the evidence for customized margins in photon breast boost radiotherapy.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2016-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: To determine if subsets of patients may benefit from smaller or larger margins when using laser setup and bony anatomy verification of breast tumour bed (TB) boost radiotherapy (RT). METHODS: Verification imaging ...
Intratumoral Hydrogen Peroxide With Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer: Results From a Phase 1 Clinical Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-11-15)
PURPOSE: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a vital role in normal cellular processes but at supraphysiological concentrations causes oxidative stress and cytotoxicity, a property that is potentially exploitable for the treatment ...
How Low Can You Go? The Radiobiology of Hypofractionation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)
Hypofractionated radical radiotherapy is now an accepted standard of care for tumour sites such as prostate and breast cancer. Much research effort is being directed towards more profoundly hypofractionated (ultrahypofractionated) ...
From 25 Fractions to Five: How Hypofractionation has Revolutionised Adjuvant Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)
There is a sound empirical basis for hypofractionation in radiotherapy for breast cancer. This article reviews the radiobiological implications of hypofractionation in breast cancer derived from a series of clinical trials ...
The UK HeartSpare Study (Stage II): Multicentre Evaluation of a Voluntary Breath-hold Technique in Patients Receiving Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2017-03-01)
AIMS: To evaluate the feasibility and heart-sparing ability of the voluntary breath-hold (VBH) technique in a multicentre setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were recruited from 10 UK centres. Following surgery for ...
