Integrated approach to radiation therapy provides quality care for cancer patients
Results from a University of Pittsburgh study demonstrate that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) can be uniformly delivered in a large health care system of academic and community cancer centers through a centralized planning and treatment process. view more (2006-11-08)
Extremely low dose CT coronary angiography shows promise in assessing cardiac function
Extremely low dose CT coronary angiography can be used to measure cardiac function and has the potential for use when other commonly used examinations are limited, a preliminary study indicates. view more (2008-04-14)
Exercise can aid recovery after brain radiation
Exercise is a key factor in improving both memory and mood after whole-brain radiation treatments in rodents, according to data presented by Duke University scientists at the Society for Neuroscience meeting. view more (2009-10-19)
Scientific breakthrough will help protect astronauts and spacecraft
A breakthrough by a team of British, US and French scientists will help protect astronauts, spacecraft and satellites from radiation hazards experienced in space. view more (2005-09-08)
Invasive methods unnecessary for prostate cancer radiation therapy treatment planning
Modern 3-D computed tomography (CT) is an effective method for locating the prostatic apex for radiation therapy treatment planning in prostate cancer patients because it eliminates the need for an invasive procedure and the related side effects. view more (2008-05-21)
Supercomputer could throw light on 'mysterious' dark energy
Cosmologists have run a series of huge computer simulations of the Universe that could ultimately help solve the mystery of dark energy. view more (2008-01-11)
Long term risks of medical radiation often ignored
Doctors and patients should be more aware of the long term risks of radiological investigations such as x-rays and CT scans, argues a researcher in this week's BMJ. Use of radiation for medical examinations and tests is the largest manmade source of radiation exposure, yet doctors are insufficiently aware of the long term health risks associated... view more...

Radiation therapy prolongs life in men with recurrent prostate cancer
Men whose tumors recur after prostate cancer surgery are three times more likely to survive their disease long term if they undergo radiotherapy within two years of the recurrence. view more (2008-06-18)
PET scan shows during treatment if radiation is shrinking lung tumor, U-M study shows
Lung cancer patients may not need to wait till their radiation treatment is over to know if it worked. A PET scan several weeks after starting radiation treatment for lung cancer can indicate whether the tumor will respond to the treatment. view more (2007-07-19)
Surviving lung cancer
Countless people have heard the phrase, "You have lung cancer," but only 50 can say they've completed a new treatment at Temple University that doubles their chances of surviving the deadly disease - and without the conventional radiation regimen or surgery. view more (2009-03-05)
Family history of prostate cancer does not affect some treatment outcomes
In a first of its kind study, a first-degree family history of prostate cancer has no impact on the treatment outcomes of prostate cancer patients treated with brachytherapy (also called seed implants), and patients with this type of family history have clinical and pathologic characteristics similar to men with no family history at all, according... view more...

Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation
Gene therapy administered intravenously could be an effective agent to protect vital organs and tissues from the effects of ionizing radiation in the event of large-scale exposure from a radiological or nuclear bomb. view more (2007-10-29)
Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation
Gene therapy administered intravenously could be used as an agent to protect vital organs and tissues from the effects of ionizing radiation in the event of large-scale exposure from a radiological or nuclear bomb. view more (2006-11-08)
Rooftop PV data for better energy prediction models
New generations of photovoltaic (PV) roofing products utilize designs that allow them to be integral parts of the roof, providing both electricity and shelter from the elements. view more (2006-06-28)
Fighting tumors with mathematics
To the effective removal of cancerous lesions by hard x-rays a precise radiation plan is indispensable. The malignant growth should be hit with the highest possible dose of radiation while minimizing the dose to the surrounding healthy tissue. The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg is currently developing an improved approach using... view more... (2002-09-09)
Short-term hormone therapy and intermediate dose radiation increases survivial for early stage prostate cancer
Short-term hormone therapy given prior to and during intermediate dose radiation treatment for men with early stage prostate cancer increases their chance of living longer, compared to those who receive the same radiation alone. view more (2009-11-03)
Mapping the cosmic web of dark matter
What is Dark Matter and where is it found? These are two of the major mysteries in current studies of the Universe. Although the nature of this invisible material remains elusive, astronomers are beginning to produce detailed maps of the Cosmos, showing its location in relation to the ordinary matter that we can see in telescopes. One of the... view more... (2002-04-03)
Radiation therapy can help spare vision in patients with melanoma of the eye
Treating a rare form of eye cancer with radiation therapy can spare patients from significant vision loss. view more (2005-10-19)
Voracious black holes hide their appetite in dusty galaxies
A UK-led team of astronomers reports that they have tracked down an elusive population of black holes growing rapidly hidden behind clouds of dust. view more (2005-08-08)
Prototype developed to detect dark matter
A team of researchers from the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS, in France) has developed a "scintillating bolometer", a device that the scientists will use in efforts to detect the dark matter of the Universe, and which has been tested at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Huesca, Spain. view more (2009-09-25)
