Systemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
متن کاملCombining molecular targeted agents with radiation therapy for malignant gliomas
The expansion in understanding the molecular biology that characterizes cancer cells has led to the rapid development of new agents to target important molecular pathways associated with aberrant activation or suppression of cellular signal transduction pathways involved in gliomagenesis, including epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, mammalian target o...
متن کاملEvolvement of Molecular Biomarkers in Targeted Therapy of Malignant Gliomas
Gliomas account for almost half of all diagnosed adult brain tumors (Siker et al., 2006). Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive type of glioma, is also the most common primary malignant brain tumor. Even though tremendous effort has been made to treat high grade gliomas, the prognosis for patients with malignant gliomas remains poor. The dismal prognosis of patients with glioblasto...
متن کاملTargeted therapy in the treatment of malignant gliomas
Malignant gliomas are invasive tumors with the potential to progress through current available therapies. These tumors are characterized by a number of abnormalities in molecular signaling that play roles in tumorigenesis, spread, and survival. These pathways are being actively investigated in both the pre-clinical and clinical settings as potential targets in the treatment of malignant gliomas...
متن کاملBiokinetic and Dosimetry of 90y-dotatoc Therapy for Neuroendocrine Tumours
Biokinetic model is a mathematical model which describes the behavior of the Y in human body during the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours. This paper presents calculation of absorbed doses in human organs in biokinetic model Y for DOTATOC therapy. For this purpose, the human body is represented by five compartments: blood, kidneys, urinary bladder, tumour and liver. The input file was develop...
