Background The radiotracer fluorine 18 (18F)–labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) has shown promise for visualizing several types of cancer, but the accuracy 18F-FAPI compared with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) detection lung cancer remains uncertain. Purpose To evaluate effectiveness 18F-FAPI–based PET/CT imaging diagnosis primary and metastatic lesions as 18F-FDG PET/CT. Materials Methods In this secondary analysis a prospective trial, consecutively recruited patients from...

Heterogeneity is found in the tumor microenvironment among different pathological types of tumors. Radionuclide-labeled fibroblast-activation-protein inhibitor (FAPI), as an important tracer for non-invasive imaging microenvironment, can be used to evaluate expression FAP cancer-associated fibroblasts, macrophages, and cells. Our aim was explore ability [18F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) distinguish lung cancer by evaluating uptake this primary metastatic...

Clinical radiotherapy (RT) is severely limited by hypoxic tumor microenvironment and a lack of targeting precision. Therefore, it crucial to develop highly efficient radiosensitizers enhance RT efficacy. Herein, novel kind epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-antagonistic affibody-functionalized Pt-based nanozyme for sensitization EGFR-positive tumors was developed. In this study, porous platinum nanoparticles (pPt NPs) featuring catalase (CAT)-like activity strong radiation energy...

Purpose This is a clinical study to compare noninvasive hypoxia imaging using 18F-fluoroerythronitroimidazole (18F-FETNIM) and 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with inoperable stages III–IV lung cancer. Methods A total of forty-two cancer underwent 18F-FETNIM PET/CT (n = 18) 18F-FMISO 24) before chemo/radiation therapy. The standard uptake values (SUVs) malignant normal tissues depict uptake. Tumor-to-blood ratios (T/B)...

Cardiotoxicity is a well-recognized, serious adverse effect of thoracic radiation therapy. This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in patients receiving therapy and identify correlating factors that can predict the risk cardiotoxicity. retrospective included 202 treated with therapy, chemotherapy targeted were allowed. Mean heart dose (MHD) was evaluated on dose-volume histograms. ECG, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), N-terminal B-type...

Abstract As nanotechnology rapidly advances, siliceous nanomaterials have become increasingly examined for biomedical applications. To further expand their advantageous physicochemical properties and counter intrinsic limitations challenging progress toward clinical translation, strategies ranging from new fabrication methods to diverse forms of modifications been proposed. Among them, direct incorporation foreign species into the frameworks has emerged. The inorganic or organic moieties an...

There is no sensitive and effective method to predict radiation-induced myocardial damage (RIMD). The aim of this study was explore plasma biomarkers for early prediction RIMD after radiotherapy (RT) in lung cancer patients a rat model. Biomarker levels were measured samples collected before thoracic RT from 17 patients. For the animal model, single radiation dose 40 Gy delivered cardiac apex female Wistar rats. Control rats received sham irradiation (0 Gy). Dynamic biomarker detection...

Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant remains the most effective strategy for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Leukemia-specific neoantigens presented by major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) are recognized T receptors (TCR) triggering graft-versus-leukemia effect. A unique TCR signature is generated a complex V(D)J rearrangement process to form capable of binding peptide-MHC. The repertoire undergoes dynamic changes disease progression and...
