Dependence of inertial cavitation induced by high intensity focused ultrasound on transducer F-number and nonlinear waveform distortion.
(ACOUSTICAL SOC AMER AMER INST PHYSICS, 2018-09-01)
Pulsed high intensity focused ultrasound was shown to enhance chemotherapeutic drug uptake in tumor tissue through inertial cavitation, which is commonly assumed to require peak rarefactional pressures to exceed a certain ...
Plasma Tie2 is a tumor vascular response biomarker for VEGF inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-07)
Oncological use of anti-angiogenic VEGF inhibitors has been limited by the lack of informative biomarkers. Previously we reported circulating Tie2 as a vascular response biomarker for bevacizumab-treated ovarian cancer ...
Combining radiation with hyperthermia: a multiscale model informed by in vitro experiments.
(ROYAL SOC, 2018-01-01)
Combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia offer great potential for the successful treatment of radio-resistant tumours through thermo-radiosensitization. Tumour response heterogeneity, due to intrinsic, or micro-environmentally ...
Compartmental Model for 223Ra-Dichloride in Patients With Metastatic Bone Disease From Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-06-04)
PURPOSE: 223Ra-Dichloride is used for treatment of patients with metastatic bone disease from castration-resistant prostate cancer. The uptake and mechanism of action of 223Ra-Dichloride is not well understood. The aim of ...
Investigating Low-Velocity Fluid Flow in Tumors with Convection-MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
Several distinct fluid flow phenomena occur in solid tumors, including intravascular blood flow and interstitial convection. Interstitial fluid pressure is often raised in solid tumors, which can limit drug delivery. To ...
Characterization of the diffusion coefficient of blood.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
PURPOSE: To characterize the diffusion coefficient of human blood for accurate results in intravoxel incoherent motion imaging. METHODS: Diffusion-weighted MRI of blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers was acquired with ...
