Curcumin Mitigates Radiation-induced Lung Pneumonitis and Fibrosis in Rats
Radiation-induced lung injury is one of the most prominent factors that interfere with chest cancer radiotherapy, and poses a great threat to patients exposed to total body irradiation. Upregulation of pro-oxidant enzymes is one of the main mechanisms through which the late effects of ionizing radiation on lung injury can be exerted. Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are two important cytokines that...
متن کاملDynamic Lung Tumor Tracking for Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy
Physicians considering stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of extracranial cancer targets must be aware of the sizeable risks for normal tissue injury and the hazards of physical tumor miss. A first-of-its-kind SBRT platform achieves high-precision ablative radiation treatment through a combination of versatile real-time imaging solutions and sophisticated tumo...
متن کاملCyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic ablative radiation therapy of patients with prostate cancer bone metastases.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of CyberKnife (CK) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) of patients with prostate cancer bone metastases. Analysis of prognostic and predictive factors was also performed. Material consisted of 51 patients with 71 bone oligometastases treated using CK SRS/SABR. In half of the patien...
متن کاملExceptionally high incidence of symptomatic grade 2–5 radiation pneumonitis after stereotactic radiation therapy for lung tumors
BACKGROUND To determine the usefulness of dose volume histogram (DVH) factors for predicting the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after application of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) for lung tumors, DVH factors were measured before irradiation. METHODS From May 2004 to April 2006, 25 patients were treated with SRT at the University of Tokyo Hospital. Eighteen patients had primar...
متن کاملGuidelines for safe practice of stereotactic body (ablative) radiation therapy.
The uptake of stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR)/stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) worldwide has been rapid. The Australian and New Zealand Faculty of Radiation Oncology (FRO) assembled an expert panel of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology medical physicists and radiation therapists to establish guidelines for safe practice of SABR. Draft guidelines were reviewe...
