Previous studies have noted possible associations between periodontitis and the risk of various cancers, particularly head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and non-Hodgkin ...

In recent years, in the treatment of vulvar cancer, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) have been used instead of 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). In this thesis study, 7 patients who were diagnosed ...

In conventional radiotherapy applications, clinicians and physicist rely upon mathematical dose - response models for applied doses to tumor and periphery healthy tissues. However in stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy ...

In the treatment of gastrointestinal system (GIS) cancers, radiotherapy (RT) is frequently applied as three dimensional conformal RT (3BKRT) or intensity adjusted RT (YART). GIS tumors are very sensitive to environmental ...

One of devices which uses the ablative dose for the Stereotactik body radiation theraphy (SBRT) is CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery System. This device, has different tracking system from other devices. This systems ...

The treatment planning of Tomotherapy depends on three device parameters, i.e. field width (FW), pitch (P) and modulation factor (MF). Various treatment plans can be generated with different combinations of these parameters. ...

Telomerase RNA Component (TERC) is the non-coding RNA template and scaffold of the telomerase holoenzyme. TERC level has been shown to be a limiting factor for telomerase activity, lower levels resulting in telomere diseases ...

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The interaction of the neoplastic lymphocytes with their microenvironment is of crucial importance in disease progression. Cancer associated ...

Treatment response for basal-like breast cancers (BLBC) is limited and this aggressive breast cancer sub-type has poor prognosis and high mortality. Our first aim is to investigate ATM activity in BLBC cell lines with ...
