PURPOSE For prostate cancer that is thought to be locally recurrent after prostatectomy, the optimal timing, dose and techniques for salvage radiotherapy (SRT) have not been established. Here we perform a systematic review of published reports including regression meta-analysis and radiobiologic modelling to identify predictors of biochemical disease control and late toxicity. METHODS We perf...

This study was performed to investigate the feasibility of FDG- and L-[methyl-11C]methionine (Met)-PET for the follow up of lung cancer after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). Nine patients (pt) with solitary lung cancer underwent SRT. Met- and FDG-PET studies were performed one week before SRT and from one week to 8 months after SRT. Responses to SRT were complete in 2 pt and partial in 7 pt. M...

BACKGROUND For patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP), salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is a second chance of cure. However, depending on risk factors, 40-70% of the patients experience further progression. With a focus on the pre- and post-SRT serum level of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), we assessed the determinants of the long-term outcome after SRT. PATIE...

OBJECTIVE The relatively low success rate of the treatment maneuver for horizontal semicircular canal (HSC) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may be caused by the difficulty determining the affected side. We developed a 180-degree supine roll test (SRT) by modifying the 90-degree SRT to increase diagnostic accuracy and evaluated its significance. STUDY DESIGN A prospective study. ...

The only curative therapeutic option for patients with BR is the so-called salvage radiotherapy (SRT). However, about 50% of the patients will experience a biochemical (as a reliable surrogate for tumor control) or a clinical recurrence after SRT within the following five years [3]. Retrospective analyses revealed PSA level before SRT and dose of SRT as the most significant risk factors for fai...

Wingless (Wg) is a secreted ligand that differentially activates gene expression in target tissues. It belongs to the Wnt family of secreted signaling molecules that regulate cell-to-cell interactions during development. Activation of Wg targets is dependent on the ligand concentration in the extracellular milieu; cellular mechanisms that govern the synthesis, delivery and receipt of Wg are ela...

Mechanical loading modulates the osteocyte-derived protein sclerostin, a potent inhibitor of bone formation. We hypothesized that simulated resistance training (SRT), combined with alendronate (ALEN) treatment, during hindlimb unloading (HU) would most effectively mitigate disuse-induced decrements in cortical bone geometry and formation rate (BFR). Sixty male, Sprague-Dawley rats (6-mo-old) we...
