Fuzi Enhances Anti-Tumor Efficacy of Radiotherapy on Lung Cancer
In traditional Chinese medicine, Fuzi is widely used as an antitumor agent or an adjuvant medication combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated anti-tumor and immunoregulation efficacy of Fuzi combined with radiotherapy in mice with Lewis lung cancer (LLC). We found that Fuzi combined with radiotherapy significantly inhibited t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...
متن کاملRadiotherapy Effects on Anti-Tumor Immunity: Implications for Cancer Treatment
Ionizing radiation (IR) is a powerful therapeutic modality for cancer, commonly used for its capacity to kill cancer cells. In this Frontiers Research Topic Book radiotherapy effects are re-visited, from the point of view of the host’s immune system (IS). An introductory article from Golden et al. (2012) examines the consequences of the many types of radiation-induced tumor cell death and how t...
متن کاملA quantitative investigation on lung tumor site on its motion tracking in radiotherapy with external surrogates
Introduction: In external beam radiotherapy each effort is done to deliver 3D dose distribution onto the tumor volume uniformly, while minimizing the dose to healthy organs at the same time. Radiation treatment of tumors located at thorax region such as lung and liver has a challenging issue during target localization since these tumors move mainly due to respiration. There are...
متن کاملLow dose angiostatic treatment counteracts radiotherapy-induced tumor perfusion and enhances the anti-tumor effect
The extent of tumor oxygenation is an important factor contributing to the efficacy of radiation therapy (RTx). Interestingly, several preclinical studies have shown benefit of combining RTx with drugs that inhibit tumor blood vessel growth, i.e. angiostatic therapy. Recent findings show that proper scheduling of both treatment modalities allows dose reduction of angiostatic drugs without affec...
