Abstract: to review the currently available therapeutic modalities for radiation retinopathy (RR), including newer investigational interventions directed towards specific aspects of the pathophysiology of this refractory complication. a review of the literature...
Abstract: Radiation therapy in combination with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, increases locoregional control and survival in patients with thoracic, abdominal and pelvic malignancies. Nevertheless, significant clinical toxicity with combined...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a significant complication of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. In this condition, bone within the radiation field becomes devitalized and exposed through the overlying skin or mucosa, persisting as a...
Abstract: Radiation-induced optic neuropathy is a rare adverse effect of radiotherapy applied for the treatment of pituitary adenomas. We report a patient with a recurrent adrenocorticotrophin secreting pituitary adenoma who received external beam irradiation after...
Abstract: To investigate the effect and the possible influential mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the proliferation and metastasis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) CNE2Z cell line. NPC CNE2Z cell line were divided into 4 groups...
Abstract: TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, Apo2L) is a promising anticancer agent with high specificity for cancer cells. Many strategies have been proposed to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, including the use of...
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and symptoms of postoperative ischemic bronchitis (POIB) after systematic lymph node dissection (LND) and evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with primary lung cancer. From...
Abstract: The study was designed to evaluate the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy on salivary gland function and the growth of salivary Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus and Candida albicans in patients with head and neck tumours who had undergone...
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusions promote postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a specific method of oxygen administration, which is independent of fluid...
Abstract: Past radiation therapy is known as a major risk factor promoting post-supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) complications. Risk of post-SCPL complications may further increase following failure of high dose radiation; in these patients, wound infection...
