These tiny bands are used to mark specific areas of the body, aiding in the precision and accuracy of procedures. From radiation therapy to endoscopy, platinum iridium marker bands have become a crucial tool in the medical field. ...
Precision and Accuracy: The Role of Platinum Iridium Marker Bands in Medical Procedures" Precision and accuracy are crucial aspects in medical procedures such as radiation therapy. To ensure that the targeted area is treated without damaging surrounding tissues, marker bands are used to accurately pinpoint the location of the treatment site. ...
Treatment options traditionally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, these approaches can be invasive and have severe side effects. ...
Alfa Cytology has announced pancreatic cancer vaccine development services to improve the efficacy and safety of related vaccines. Alfa Cytology, a biotech company composed of scientists, bioinformatics, and oncologists, has recently announced its pancreatic cancer vaccine development services to provide further strategies for cancer therapy research. Compared to other solid tumors, ...
The therapy options for breast cancer depend on various factors such as the stage of the cancer, the type of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and particular preferences. At present, some commonly used technologies for breast cancer treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, ...
Introduction of Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability (DARTS) Drug target protein identification is an important step in the research and development of new drugs. Drug Affinity Response Target Stability (DARTS) is a technique that can rapidly and directly identify potential target proteins of small molecule drugs. That is, it prevents the target protein from being hydrolyzed by proteases ...
Breast cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. At present, the main therapeutic methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, etc. The development and marketing of new drugs have far-reaching significance in improving the survival of breast cancer patients and changing the pattern of breast cancer ...
The patient was taking chemotherapy, participating in a drug therapy trial, and had received radiation therapy. There was no history of acute trauma to the pelvic or acetabular region. ...
Purpose The incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer are declining in the United States; however, worldwide, cervical cancer is still one of the leading causes of death in women, second only to breast cancer. This disparity is at least partially explained by the absence of or comparatively ineffective screening programs in the developing world. Recent advances in expression genomics have ...
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) and T cell antigen receptor chimeric T cells (TCR-T) are currently the "top stream" in adoptive T cell tumor immunotherapy. In particular, CAR-T therapy, which has been approved by the FDA, is rewriting the treatment paradigm of some hematological tumors. However, adoptive T cell therapy remains of little success in solid tumors. The main reason is that ...
Treatment Methods for Oral Cancer The treatment methods for oral cancers are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The combination of treatments may vary depending on the patient’s stage. ...
As countries worldwide start relaxing rules and lifting coronavirus restrictions, including wearing face masks in public, people with a weakened immune system may still need to protect themselves against airborne viruses and benefit from cleaner, purified air. ...
If the content of superoxide anion in the human body is too high, it may induce various diseases, including pro-inflammatory diseases (pro-inflammatory diseases), cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases (neurological diseases), diabetes, and radiation therapy, degeneration (fibrosis) and aging, etc. To reduce the content of oxygen metabolites in tissues, ...
Immunotherapy, in addition to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, has now become the fourth pillar of anticancer treatment, with T cell-based immunotherapy being a successful cancer treatment technique. T cells can be separated into two subpopulations based on the expression of T-cell receptors (TCRs). αβ T cells, expressing expressing αβ TCR, recognize peptide antigens, such as those ...
Simply put, CAR-T is to transform the patient's immune T cells in vitro by biotechnology, so that they recognize antigens on the surface of tumor cells, and then inject these cells back into the patient to achieve the therapeutic effect of recognizing and killing cancer cells. In 2017, CAR-T therapy was first approved by the FDA for the treatment of blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. ...
Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have made a breakthrough in the treatment of aggressive solid cancers, and they have developed a new cancer treatment that targets proteins within tumor cells that are essential for tumor growth and survival, but this has not been possible before. Using the power of large data and advanced computational methods, researchers can ...
This is the process of oxidation. Sun exposure, air pollution, radiation, etc. will cause the human skin to produce a large amount of superoxide free radicals, and its strong oxidizing ability will accelerate the speed of skin oxidation, and may even cause serious skin lesions. ...
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. ...
MEDVAMC provides specialized diagnostic care, radiation therapy, surgery, and medical treatment including cardiovascular surgery, gastrointestinal endoscopy, nuclear medicine, ophthalmology, and treatment of spinal cord injury and diseases. ...
Purpose To present the acceptance and the commissioning, to define the reference dose, and to prepare the reference data for a quality assessment (QA) program of an ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) electron device in order to validate it for preclinical animal FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH RT) experiments and for FLASH RT clinical human protocols. ...
