Combination therapy shows improvement for breast cancer patients
Giving radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time after a lumpectomy helps keep breast cancer from returning locally. view more (2006-12-01)
Phantoms give a clearer picture of radiation effects
A new generation of realistic models of the human body could give radiation scientists and medical workers a better view of how exposure to radiation affects different internal organs. These so-called "voxel phantoms" offer a new way to reveal the effects of radioactive particles that have been ingested or breathed in or otherwise entered the... view more... (2002-10-18)
Tackling the threat of nuclear terrorism
The only effective way to tackle the threat of nuclear terrorism is to abolish nuclear weapons and establish strict international control of all fissile materials that could be used to make new weapons, argue three US physicians in this week's BMJ. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, nuclear terrorism has emerged as a real threat and could... view more... (2002-02-06)
Combination therapy reduces tumor resistance to radiation
Radiation is used to treat a variety of tumors and the response of tumors to radiation is dependent on endothelial cell death, which in turn limits oxygen delivery to the tumor, causing hypoxia and tumor cell death. view more (2007-06-08)
Largest PSA bounce study eases worry of prostate cancer returning
Prostate cancer patients who have a temporary rise in their prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiation therapy-called a PSA bounce-are not at an increased risk of their cancer coming back any more than those who don't have a temporary rise. view more (2006-11-09)
Cancer Gene Radiation Therapy Discovery
Dr Tracy Robson, a lecturer in molecular radiation science at the University's Jordanstown campus, has isolated a novel gene, called DIR-1, which can alter a tumour cell's susceptibility to radiation therapy. view more (1999-09-20)
IMRT versus 3D CRT for prostate cancer, new long-term data assesses side effects
New research findings show men have fewer long-term gastrointestinal side effects with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) than with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) for prostate cancer treatment, despite the higher doses of radiation used in the IMRT group. view more (2006-11-06)
Universe's oldest objects emerge from the background
The deepest reaches of space are permeated by a cloak of infrared radiation, an uneven energy swath generated by long-dead objects from the early universe. view more (2006-12-20)
AGA Institute statement: Data support CT colonography as viable colorectal cancer screening option
Death from colorectal cancer is highly preventable with effective screening and early detection. Many screening options are available, each with advantages and disadvantages, but half of eligible patients still do not participate in colorectal cancer screening. view more (2008-09-18)
Agent Orange exposure increases veterans' risk of aggressive recurrence of prostate cancer
Veterans exposed to Agent Orange are at increased risk of aggressive recurrence of prostate cancer, researchers report. view more (2009-04-21)
Hot Paper in the Biochemical Journal
DNA DAMAGE INSIGHT An exciting new paper from the Biochemical Journal regarding the phosphorylation state of LKB1 in response to ionising radiation can be viewed online as an Immediate Publication at www.BiochemJ.org (DOI: 10.1042/BJ20021284). Researchers at the University of Dundee, the University of Calgary and Tel Aviv University collaborated... view more... (2002-09-20)
Radiation device in the breast reduces complications for early stage breast cancer patients
A new study shows that the SAVI™ applicator, a small, expandable device inserted inside the breast to deliver partial breast irradiation, carries a low infection risk, a potential complication of such devices. view more (2009-04-24)
Experimental agents may prevent radiation-induced leukemia
Treatment with biphosphonates could prevent radiation-induced leukemia, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Towards predicting late-stage radiation toxicity
Radiation is a brutal and in many cases necessary part of cancer therapy. More 50% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment, and many experience concurrent negative side effects. view more (2006-10-31)
University Scientists Will Not See the Eclipse...At Least, Not With Their Eyes!
The sun constantly radiates energy across the spectrum of frequencies from radio, through heat, to visible light and beyond. During the period of totality, only radiation present in the sun's annular corona will be detectable, with energy directly radiated from the sun being masked by the moon. view more (1999-08-06)
What is the mechanism of the chronic radiation enteritis?
The use of radiation therapy to treat cancer inevitably involves exposure of normal tissues. view more (2008-12-23)
Patients regain cognitive function after radiation for brain tumors
Patients who suffer from low-grade brain tumors are able to regain normal cognitive function after receiving radiation therapy to shrink their tumor. view more (2005-11-16)
Order of chemotherapy, radiation has no effect on breast cancer survival
For women who have had surgery for early breast cancer, it may not matter whether they receive follow-up chemotherapy before, after or during radiation therapy, according to a new review of studies. view more (2006-10-31)
Sunlight exposure plus low antioxidant levels may place older adults at risk for eye disease
A European study suggests that the combination of low plasma levels of antioxidants and blue light exposure from the sun is associated with certain forms of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
Three out of four junior doctors risk potential HIV infection during course of work
Three out of four junior doctors are at potentially high risk of HIV infection at some time during their careers, shows a survey in Sexually Transmitted Infections. Yet two thirds were unaware that they could be treated immediately afterwards to minimise the risk of infection. view more (2001-11-20)
