Radiation induced normal tissue damage and toxicity is sometimes an inevitable side effect when treating tumors with radiation therapy. Despite the technological advancements in imaging, treatment planning, and dose delivery, radiation exposure to organs and tissues...
In the present study, we address the important issue of whether B-cells protected from irradiation-induced cell death, may survive with elevated levels of DNA damage. If so, such cells would be at higher risk of gaining mutations and undergoing malignant...
Xstrahl attended the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) conference in San Diego, this September, the world's largest meeting for the radiation oncology community. Over a fantastic four days Xstrahl Life Sciences and Medical...
We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient who developed five basal cell carcinomas 23 years after radiation therapy of Hodgkin’s disease. In 1980 he received radiation therapy twice. Due to relapses, he was treated with aggressive polychemotherapy and underwent...
The ultimate goal of radiation therapy has always been to eradicate tumors locally while preventing damage to the surrounding tissue. New technologies aim to make treatment even more precise, while allowing clinicians to better plan treatment strategies and adapt to...
Xstrahl’s therapy systems can be used to treat painful benign skeletal disorders. The use of radiotherapy has recently been shown to be an effective method for the treatment of painful degenerative disorders of joints in elderly patients, in a recent article in...
Recently I was asked a question by a colleague, “what is defined by image guided micro-irradiation?” I started to give my normal description along the lines of the process involving imaging, identifying the target in space, being able to target a beam of radiation to...
Dr Wong is the co-inventor of SARRP, The small animal radiation research platform commercialised by Xstrahl and now the premier tool used by radiation biologists, research oncologists and medical physicists in the pursuit of eradicating cancer. Dr. Wong is presently...
Carcinomas of the skin are the most accessible cancers, the diagnosis is readily made and the limits of the lesion are usually easy to define. No single treatment method is best for all cancers of the skin. If the sole criterion of success is eradication of the...
