Original Source: Reirradiation of normal tissues: Preclinical radiobiological data.
Reirradiation represent an unfrequent particular clinical situation. The risk/benefit ratio assessment must be taken into account, considering both clinical and dosimetric aspects. There is a relatively limited amount of preclinical data available to date and clinicians should cautiously perform reirradiations in selected indications. This review summarizes the experimental data available on reirradiation of normal tissues, the consequences on early and late toxicities as well as the intrinsic limitations o...

Plasmid Land: The Plasmid Cloning Game
When the average person asks, “What is a plasmid?” we sometimes struggle to give them a basic answer. Plasmids are circular fragments of double-stranded DNA that can replicate independen...
Radiology is the branch of medicine that studies imaging of the body; X-ray (basic, angiography, barium swallows), ultrasound, MRI, CT and PET. These imaging techniques can be used to diagnose...
Inhibition of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) results in the degradation of oncoproteins that drive malignant progression, inducing cell death, making Hsp90 a target of substantial interest for cancer...
The most common system to evaluate and describe prostate cancer currently in use is the Gleason grading system. After a biopsy, the pathologist assigns a primary grade from 1 to 5, with 5 being the...

New Probe Helps Find Cancerous Brain Tumors
Performing surgery to remove a brain tumor requires surgeons to walk a very fine line. If they leave tumor tissue behind, the tumor is likely to regrow; if they cut out too much normal tissue, they co...
