For example, in the context of cancer treatment planning, medical rings can assist in more clearly defining tumor boundaries during radiation therapy, ensuring that treatment is focused and minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue. ...
NIR-PIT drugs can form a new targeted anti-tumor platform that irradiates infrared light to the tumor site through the device. ...
This is the process of oxidation. Sun exposure, air pollution, radiation, etc. will cause the human skin to produce a large amount of superoxide free radicals, and its strong oxidizing ability will accelerate the speed of skin oxidation, and may even cause serious skin lesions. ...
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. ...
Given the location and extent of disease, placing a radiopaque filament to help target the adjuvant radiation is extremely helpful, both for allowing better delivery of radiation to the exact tumor bed and limiting radiation spray to other structures such as the heart, lungs and surrounding muscles. In this case, it’s ...
However, given the surgical site often lies in soft tissue, exact identification of the native tumor bed can present some difficulty for radiation planning. The surgical and radiation oncology team at Providence Mission Hospital (Mission Viejo, Ca) elected to use a novel tumor bed marker called VeraForm for a sarcomatoid ...
After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate any residual traces of the tumor.1 In the case of brain tumors, more often than not, adjuvant therapy involves using radiation, in part because few chemotherapy agents reliably cross the blood brain barrier. Adjuvant ...
After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate any residual tumor cells in or near the surgical resection cavity.6 In the case of brain tumors, more often than not, adjuvant therapy involves using radiation.6 Adjuvant radiation is used either alone or in ...
“Radiosurgery is among the most important innovations in modern medicine for the treatment of many brain tumors,” said Dr. Adler, CEO of ZAP Surgical Systems, and professor emeritus of neurosurgery and radiation oncology at Stanford University. ...
