Most importantly, some of the tumor samples were further stratified into two major groups based on their response to radiotherapy, and we were able to predict the response of these patients to radiotherapy from their expression profiles. ...
"This research is very exciting because it improves the possibility of targeting very specific tumor molecules, expanding the cancers that can be treated with immunotherapy and the patient population that can benefit," said Dr. Mark Yarmarkovich, a researcher in the Maris laboratory at Philadelphia Children's Hospital and lead author of the paper. ...
Some substances can easily interact with the oxygen in the air when exposed to the air, causing chemical changes in the substance. 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 ...
Our Medical Director of the Oncology Breast Program, Dr. Beth DuPree, was first in the U.S. to adopt VeraForm, a continuous, radiopaque 3D tissue marker. Within months, its utility led to quick integration into our program’s standard daily practice. Like all centers today, patient satisfaction is a focal point and to date, we have seen no complications or toxicities by any criteria (e.g., ...
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. ...
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 ...
