Correlation between radiation-induced telomerase activity and human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA expression in HeLa cells
(2006)Purpose: To quantify and correlate human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression with telomerase activity (TA) after ionizing irradiation of HeLa cells. Materials and methods: TA and hTERT mRNA expression ... -
Dose Escalation of Amifostine for Radioprotection During Pelvic Accelerated Radiotherapy
(2013)Objectives: Experimental data suggest a dose-dependent efficacy of amifostine so that the low overall doses used in clinical trials may have masked the full potential of the drug. In this study, we report our experience ... -
Evaluation of dose-response models and parameters predicting radiation induced pneumonitis using clinical data from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2005)The purpose of this work is to evaluate the predictive strength of the relative seriality, parallel and LKB normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models regarding the incidence of radiation pneumonitis, in a large ... -
A free software for the evaluation and comparison of dose response models in clinical radiotherapy (DORES)
(2009)Purpose: The aim of this work was to develop a user-friendly and simple tool for fast and accurate estimation of Normal Tissue Complication Probabilities (NTCP) for several radiobiological models, which can be used as a ... -
Intraoperative radiation therapy on pancreatic cancer patients: a review of the literature
(2011)Pancreatic cancer is rarely curable, and the overall survival rate at 5 years is under 4%. This study aimed to assess the efficacy, effectiveness and safety of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) as treatment in ... -
Prognostic impact of tumor volumetry in patients with locally advanced head-and-neck carcinoma (non-nasopharyngeal) treated by radiotherapy alone or combined radiochemotherapy in a randomized trial
(2004)Purpose: Tumor volume (TV) is one of the main reported factors determining the outcome of treatment in head-and-neck carcinomas. In this study, the prognostic impact of TV was explored in the context of a randomized trial ... -
The use of comet assay in measuring DNA damage and repair efficiency in child, adult, and old age populations
(2009)In the present study, we used the Comet assay to estimate basal DNA damage in three distinct populations aged 5-10, 40-50, and 60-70 years old. The DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide and gamma-irradiation in the ...
