Dynamic Lung Tumor Tracking for Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy

16.2K
Stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SBRT) involves the precise delivery of high-dose radiation to cancer tumor targets. A novel SBRT platform offers a first-of-its-kind gimbaled radiation accelerator mounted within a pivoting O-ring gantry capable of dynamic image-guided tumor tracking. Here, we describe dynamic tumor tracking for lung...

The In ovo CAM-assay as a Xenograft Model for Sarcoma

26.2K
The in ovo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is grafted with fresh sarcoma-derived tumor tissues, their single cell suspensions, and permanent and transient fluorescently labeled established sarcoma cell lines. The model is used to study graft- (viability, Ki67 proliferation index, necrosis, infiltration) and host (fibroblast infiltration, vascular ingrowth)...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiotherapy
  • Musculoskeletal Tumors

Background:

  • Sarcomas are rare tumors originating from connective tissues.
  • They are classified by behavior: benign, borderline, or malignant.
  • These tumors can develop anywhere in the musculoskeletal system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the use of radiation therapy in treating soft tissue sarcomas.
  • To review radiation's role in managing borderline musculoskeletal tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on radiation therapy techniques and applications.
  • Literature review of studies concerning sarcoma and radiation.

Main Results:

  • Radiation is a key treatment modality for malignant soft tissue sarcomas.
  • Its role in borderline tumors is also significant.

Conclusions:

  • Radiation therapy is crucial for managing malignant soft tissue sarcomas.
  • It plays a selective role in treating borderline tumors.
