Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) is an emerging option for local and systemic cancer treatment. Preclinical research and clinical trials show that alpha-emitting radionuclides can kill targeted cancer cells while sparing normal cells, thus reducing toxicity. (223)RaCl2 (Xofigo(®)) is the first alpha emitting radioisotope to gain registration in the US for palliative therapy of prostate cancer bone ...

Abstract. To understand global soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry and its dynamics, we need tools to efficiently quantify SOM properties, for example, prediction models using mid-infrared spectra. However, the advantages of such rely on their validity accuracy. Recently, Hodgkins et al. (2018) developed quantitatively predict peat holocellulose Klason lignin contents, two indicators stability ...

Aim: We describe an atypical case of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL), presenting with ocular manifestations. Presentation: Here we present an extremely rare case of a 63 year old male with past history of relapsed NHL in remission with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) chemotherapy, primarily presenting with bil...

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a multimodality imaging approach for differentiating between primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the maxillary sinus. Twelve NHLs and 29 SCCs of the maxillary sinus were included. CT findings, MR signal intensities, apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs), and maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) w...

DESCRIPTION A 47-year-old unemployed man presented with a 2-week history of shortness of breath, dry cough and fever despite normal inflammatory markers and negative blood cultures. There was no weight loss or night sweats. He was a non-smoker and had no other medical history. HIV testing and tumour markers were negative. Chest x-ray (figure 1A) showed what seemed to be a dense consolidation in...

Although the success of trastuzumab and rituximab for treatment of breast cancer and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, respectively, suggests that monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) will become important therapeutic agents against a wider range of cancers, useful therapeutic Abs are not yet available for the majority of the human cancers because of our lack of knowledge of which antigens (Ags) are likely to bec...

CONTEXT Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are a rare subgroup of lymphomas generally associated with HIV and EBV. OBJECTIVE To study ten autopsy cases of PCNSL, to describe the neuropathological findings, to characterize the phenotype of the neoplastic cells, to detect EBV in the lesion and to compare the findings with the clinical and laboratory data of the patients. METHOD ...
