Radiation-Induced Immune Modulation in Prostate Cancer

Ultraviolet radiation-induced immune modulation: potential consequences for infectious, allergic, and autoimmune disease.

Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are concerned with potential health effects that might result from increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) as a result of depletion of stratospheric ozone by anthropogenic chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons and halons. Major targets for UVR effects include the skin, eye, and immune system. A...

Ultraviolet Radiation-induced Murine Tumors Produced in the Absence of Ultraviolet Radiation-induced Systemic Tumor Immunosuppression1

Using micro-UV-irradiation versus whole-dorsal irradiation for induc ing cutaneous carcinomas in Skh:HRI mice and an assay for UV radiation (UVR)-induced systemic tumor immunosuppression, the dependence upon systemic immunosuppression for the growth of UVR-induced car cinomas was examined. Squamous cell carcinomas were produced by repeated microirradiation of 0.8-cm2 middorsal skin with xenon a...
