The antitumor activity of ethanol extract of Prosopis glandulosa Torr. (EPG) was evaluated against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumor model in Swiss albino mice on dose dependent manner. The activity was assessed using survival time, average increase in body weight, hematological parameters and solid tumor volume. Oral administration of EPG at the dose of 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg, significantl...

Background: The present investigation compared the decrease in the volume of benign tumor before and after High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effects of HIFU. in terms of Lifestyle and obstetric characteristics of in patients with Benign Uterine Tumors. Materials and Methods: To collect the data on each patients’ lifestyle and obstetric characteristic...

in this study, microspheres containing estradiol valerate were prepared by solvent evaporation method using poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (plga 50:50) and poly (lactide). the effect of different process variables such as polymer type, drugpolymer ratio, stirring rate, volume of internal phase and temperature of external phase on the morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation efficiency...

A dynamic lung tumor phantom was used to investigate the geometric reconstruction accuracy of a commercial four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) system. A ball filled with resin, embedded in a cork cube, was placed on a moving platform. Various realistic antero-posterior (AP) motions were programmed to reproduce the respiratory motion of a lung tumor. Several three-dimensional (3D) CT an...

PURPOSE Although stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is widely used therapeutic technique, predictive factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after SABR remain undefined. We aimed to investigate the predictive factors affecting RP in patients with primary or metastatic lung tumors who received SABR. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2012 to 2015, we reviewed 59 patients with 72 primary or m...

Introduction: Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a promising therapeutic method in cancer therapy with using magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, we assessed the effect of MFH on mechanisms of cell death in murine breast cancer cell line (MC4-L2) and also the treatment of breast tumor in BALB/C mice using four generation dendrimer coated iron oxide nanoparticles (G4@I...

aim : to create an orthotopic hepatoma model with local metastasis monitored with ultrasound could be created as a platform for testing new treatments.   background : hepatoma accounts for 25% of liver tumors in children with poor overall survival. intraabdominal metastasis are present in 35% of patients at time of diagnosis.  we hypothesized that an orthotopic tumor model with local metastasis...

Patients with locally advanced lung cancer and very limited pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] ≤ 1 L) have dismal prognosis and undergo palliative treatment or best supportive care. We describe two cases of locally advanced node-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with very limited lung function treated with induction chemotherapy and moderate hypof...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the difference between preoperative radiologic tumor volume (RTV) and postoperative pathologic tumor volume (PTV) in patients who received nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 482 patients who underwent preoperative computed tomography (CT) within 4 weeks before radical or partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. RTV measu...
