Adjuvant radiotherapy is an important clinical treatment option for the majority of sarcomas. The motivation of current study is to identify a gene signature and to predict radiosensitive patients who are most likely to benefit from radiotherapy. Using the public available data of soft tissue sarcoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas, we developed a cross-validation procedure for identifying a gene ...

Adjuvant radiotherapy is an important clinical treatment for the majority of gastric cancer, a common cancer. However, radiotherapy is a double-edged sword. It is necessary to develop a method to predict radiosensitive patients who are most likely to benefit from radiotherapy. Using the publicly available data of gastric cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we developed a gene signature ...

It is currently thought that acute GVHD cannot be elicited in the absence of Ag presentation by radiosensitive host hematopoietic-derived APCs after allogeneic BM transplantation. Because clinical data suggest that sex-mismatched H-Y Ags may be important minor histocompatibility Ags for GVH responses, we directly tested their relevance and ability to initiate GVHD when presented by either the h...

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare and aggressive tumors arising from connective tissues. Adjuvant radiotherapy is a commonly used treatment approach for the majority of sarcomas. We attempted to identify a gene signature that can predict radiosensitive patients who are most likely to have a better treatment response from radiotherapy, compared with disease progression. Using the publicly available ...

Background and Purpose. This project examined the in vitro   γ H2AX response in lymphocytes of prostate cancer patients who had a radiosensitive response after receiving radiotherapy. The goal of this project was to determine whether the γ H2AX response, as measured by flow cytometry, could be used as a marker of individual patient radiosensitivity. Materials and Methods. Patients were selected...

The radiation response of murine L1210 leukemia was exam ined. Radiation dose-survival curves demonstrated that nondividing (resting) leukemic cells and logarithmically proliferating leukemic cells were equally radiosensitive. A radiosensitive state was also demonstrated for 2 drug-altered leukemia cell lines, 1 strain being markedly resistant to antimetabolite therapy and the other having a de...
