Purpose: This study assessed outcomes following the nowadays standing treatment for primary vaginal cancer with radio(chemo)therapy and image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) in a multicenter patient cohort. Methods: Patients treated with comput...

Background: We investigate the feasibility of image fusion application for ablative margin assessment in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and possible causes for a wrong initial evaluation of technical success through...

Previous studies have shown that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potential biomarkers of breast cancer. An unanswered question is how urinary VOCs change over time as tumors progress. To explore this, BALB/c mice were injected with 4T1.2 triple...

Thanks to the growing knowledge about cancers and their interactions with the immune system, a huge number of therapeutic cancer vaccines have been developed in the past two decades. Despite encouraging results in pre-clinical models, cancer vaccines...

We sought to characterize thyroid dysfunction and its association with baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, as well as progression-free survival (PFS), in a multiethnic cohort of lung cancer patients treated with ICIs. A retrospective c...

Despite waiting 13 weeks to perform a PET/CT scan after completion of chemoradiation for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), equivocal findings are often found that make assessing treatment response difficult. This retrospective study exam...

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the gold standard for treating patients with cancer in the clinic but, despite modern advances, are limited by normal tissue toxicity. The use of nanomaterials, such as gold nanoparticles (GNPs), to improve radiosens...

Cells within the tumor stroma are essential for tumor progression. In particular, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and CAF precursor cells (resident fibroblasts and mesenchymal stromal cells) are responsible for the formation of the extracellular...

Radiotherapy (RT) has been shown to interfere with inflammatory signals and to enhance tumor immunogenicity via, e.g., immunogenic cell death, thereby potentially augmenting the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy. Conventional RT consists predomin...

(1) Background: The literature on the effects of high-grade glioma (HGG) growth on cognition is still scarce. (2) Method: A consecutive series of 85 patients with HGG involving the left hemisphere underwent an extended neuropsychological evaluation p...
