Surgical spacer placement (SSP) is useful in particle therapy (PT) for patients with abdominal or pelvic tumors located adjacent to normal organs. We developed a nonwoven fabric bioabsorbable made of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sutures that degrades via hydrolysis. then conducted this first-in-human phase 1 study the combination SSP and PT using PGA spacer, which we termed space-making (SMPT). This aimed evaluate safety efficacy SMPT unresectable malignant tumor organs.The eligibility criteria...
In our previous study, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) purified from spinach was found to have cytotoxic effects in human cancer cell lines. This study further assessed whether MGDG can enhance the of radiation pancreatic cells vitro and vivo.Glycoglycerolipids including were extracted dried spinach. The cytotoxicity evaluated by MTT assay using four lines (MIAPaCa-2, AsPC-1, BxPC-3 PANC-1) normal dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). alone or combination MIAPaCa-2 analyzed with colony forming...
The objective of the present study was determination potential dosimetric benefits using metal-artefact-suppressed dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images for cases involving pedicle screw implants in spinal sites. A heterogeneous phantom designed investigation effect pedicle-screw-related artefacts. comparisons were first performed a conventional two-directional opposed (AP-PA) plan, and then volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) which are both used treatment metastases our...
Purpose To develop an in vivo dosimeter system for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) that can perform accurate and precise real‐time measurements, using a microsized amount of photostimulable phosphor (PSP), BaFBr:Eu 2+ . Methods The sensitive volume the PSP was 1.26 × 10 −5 cm 3 designed to apply photostimulation after decay noise signals, synchronization with photon beam pulse linear accelerator (LINAC), eliminate signals completely time separation technique. included stem...
Purpose To develop a novel biocompatible solid fiducial marker that prevents radiopaque imaging artifacts and also maintains high contrast for kilovoltage x‐ray image‐guided radiation therapy. Methods The was made of pure zinc. An in‐house water‐equivalent phantom designed to evaluate visibility under various simulated treatment scenarios. Image were quantitatively assessed in terms the metal artifact index (MAI) on computed tomography (CT) cone‐beam CT (CBCT) scans. Marker evaluated two...
