Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy as an Adjuvant Therapy for Pituitary Adenomas
Surgery is first-line therapy for functioning pituitary adenomas (FPAs) and non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPAs) apart from prolactinomas. About 30% of NFPAs recur within five to 10 years and up to 60% of FPAs are still biochemically active after surgery. Somatostatin analogues and/or the growth hormone (GH)-receptor antagonist pegvisomant are often needed to achieve disease control ...

متن کاملThe TLR7 agonist imiquimod as an adjuvant for radiotherapy-elicited in situ vaccination against breast cancer
Radiotherapy can convert malignant cells into an in situ anticancer vaccine, but is often inadequate at generating sufficient pro-inflammatory signals to optimally activate innate and adaptive immune responses. Topical imiquimod is a powerful pro-inflammatory agent with clinical activity against superficial skin cancers. These two modalities appear to complement each other, hence achieving loca...
