…develop RC in response to irradiation treatment, which could impact treatment approach and follow-up recommendations.” The value of SARRP: In this study, researchers assessed the results of pelvic radiation on…
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,…
In the recent publication, Zebrafish as an in vivo screening tool to establish PARP inhibitor efficacy, researchers examined treatment modalities to aid the development of PARP inhibitors. These compounds target…

…widely used in pre-clinical small animal imaging studies (such as those preformed on the Xstrahl SARRP) to assess the progression of diseases such as cancer, aiding in the development of…
…tumor blood vessel growth, i.e. angiostatic therapy. Recent findings show that proper scheduling of both treatment modalities allows dose reduction of angiostatic drugs without affecting therapeutic efficacy. In their study…
