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)

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)

Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting... view more (2003-03-31)

Supernova radiation simulated in Virtual Reality
To astrophysicists, the energy-charged x-ray radiation on the fringes of a supernova explosion has long been enigmatic. It hasn't been possible to explain how the electrons are able to accelerate to nearly the speed of light. Now scientists in England and in Linköping, Sweden, have hit upon a... view more (2001-12-20)

Astronomers get their hands dirty as they lift the veil on galactic dust
There is more to a grain of dust than meets the eye, at least for astronomers as they attempt to probe deeper into distant galaxies.   view more (2007-10-15)

Integral - tracking extreme radiation across the Universe
The world`s most advanced gamma-ray space telescope Integral [International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory] was successfully launched today [17 October 2002] from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. Integral will provide first-hand observations of cosmic objects that release some of the most... view more (2002-10-11)

Powerful radiation source to further cancer research
Plans to construct Europe's most intense terahertz (THz) radiation source to further development of cancer research are underway at the University of Liverpool.   view more (2006-07-12)

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)

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)

Iowa State astrophysicists provide the eyes for new gamma ray telescope system
There's a "First Light Fiesta" in the works at Mt. Hopkins near Amado, Ariz. And Iowa State University astrophysicists will be among those enjoying the celebration of a new telescope system and all the science it will produce.   view more (2007-04-20)

Radiation dose reduction in liver cancer
A new digital angiography flat panel system reduces the radiation dose to patients undergoing interventional treatment for liver cancer by about one-fourth, a new study shows.   view more (2005-10-03)

Modern radiation therapy ups lung cancer survival
Modern three-dimensional radiation therapy has been proven to be more successful at curing lung cancer than older two-dimensional radiation therapy for some patients with early stage lung cancer.   view more (2006-09-01)

Jefferson researchers show chemotherapy and radiation together extend lung cancer patients' lives
Chemotherapy given at the same time as radiation therapy can help patients with a certain type of lung cancer live nearly 50 percent longer than they might have otherwise if the same treatment was given differently, according to an international team's analysis of several trial results.   view more (2007-11-12)

A "Swarm" of satellites for a unique look inside the Earth
ESA's Earth Observation Programme Board has just decided which of the six Earth Explorer candidate missions, presented earlier in April at the User Consultation Meeting, will be developed and launched. Swarm, an Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission, is a constellation of satellites which will study... view more (2004-06-03)

ESA Director General comments on Columbia Accident Investigation Board report
Commenting on the Columbia accident report delivered to NASA by the independent Investigation Board, Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency, said... "The loss of Space Shuttle Columbia and her crew on 1 February has deeply affected the space community worldwide.... view more (2003-08-29)

Combining PET and CT scans makes cancer treatment more accurate
Doctors have discovered that combining images derived from positron emission tomography and computed tomography in the planning and delivery of radiation treatment for patients with head and neck cancer leads to more accurate delivery of the radiation dose and an increased chance for survival.   view more (2006-05-02)

Precision radiation therapy yields rare success for liver tumors
