Purpose The incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer are declining in the United States; however, worldwide, cervical cancer is still one of the leading causes of death in women, second only to breast cancer. ...
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...
More and more scientific evidence shows that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species are important mediators of signaling events in cells, especially the superoxide anion in reactive oxygen species. If the content of superoxide anion in the human body is too high, it may induce various diseases, including pro-inflammatory diseases (pro-inflammatory diseases), cardiovascular ...
The research summarized in this whitepaper provides a number of examples of how ALZET® pumps offer a superior pre-clinical drug dosing option for the delivery of a wide array of anti-cancer agents, including small molecules, immunotherapies, radiotherapies, combination treatments, and novel drug entities. This whitepaper also explores how ALZET® pumps ...
The Institute of Cancer Research or ICR, is a world leading institution in cancer gene discovery, cancer drugs and innovations in radiotherapy. ...
Twenty percent of cancer patients experience adverse effects after radiotherapy. The therapeutic doses are adjusted to the most sensitive individuals, resulting in a suboptimal dose for many patients. ...
The coefficients of the conversion of fluency-kerma for photons and neutrons were calculated for human tissues and the tissue substitutes for each organ, and it was observed that the values were similar.Keywords: esophageal cancer, anthropomorphic phantoms, anthropometric phantoms, radiotherapy, thorax female phantoms, low radiation, dose absorption, anatomical ...
In this paper, we present data from exposed human patients, showing that a simple assay using blood can demonstrate variation in the extent and type of non-targeted effects and that exposure to radiation can modulate the subsequent non-targeted response to a later dose. Patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment for cancer gave blood samples immediately after the ...
