Targeted radiotherapy for neuroblastoma.
Background Biologically targeted radiotherapy is an established treatment for thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer. The principle is to take advantage of the ability of the thyroid and, to a lesser degree, diVerentiated thyroid carcinoma to concentrate and retain iodide. In this situation the radionuclide (I) in ionic form is a natural substrate for targeting thyroid tissue, thus acting both as th...
متن کاملPredicting response to clinical radiotherapy: past, present, and future directions.
BACKGROUND Personalized radiation therapy holds the promise that the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer will be based on individual assessment of risk. Although advances in personalized radiation therapy have been achieved, the biological parameters that define individual radiosensitivity remain unclear. METHODS This review focuses on discussing the field of radiosensitivity predi...
متن کاملStereotactic radiotherapy for prostate cancer: A review and future directions
Prostate cancer affects over 200000 men annually in the United States alone. The role of conventionally fractionated external beam radiation therapy (RT) is well established as a treatment option for eligible prostate cancer patients; however, the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in this setting is less well defined. Within the past decade, there have been a number of studies invest...
متن کاملHER-2-targeted therapy: lessons learned and future directions.
HER-2 is overexpressed in 20-25% of invasive breast cancers and is associated with an aggressive tumor phenotype and reduced survival rates. The HER-2 status of a tumor is the critical determinant of response to the HER-2-targeted antibody trastuzumab. Thus, accurate assessment of HER-2 expression levels is essential for identifying breast cancer patients who will benefit from HER-2-targeted th...
متن کاملMedullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Targeted Therapies and Future Directions
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm that accounts for approximately 5% of all thyroid malignancies. The natural history of MTC is characterized by early lymph node and distant metastases, making complete surgical cure often impossible. Conventional chemotherapy and external beam radiation have been largely ineffective in altering the natural history of MTC. Therefor...
