Cancer Therapies02:49

Cancer Therapies

9.4K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.0K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

282
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.2K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Multimodality care improves survival for pediatric cancer patients.
  • Late effects from cancer treatments like radiotherapy can be debilitating.
  • Quality of life for childhood cancer survivors necessitates managing late effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the use of radiotherapy in pediatric cancer.
  • To discuss the radiobiology of tissue injury from radiation.
  • To highlight the impact of age and affected organ systems on late effects and screening.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on radiotherapy in pediatric oncology.
  • Analysis of radiobiology principles related to tissue damage.
  • Examination of age-dependent factors and organ system vulnerabilities.
  • Summary of current screening protocols for late effects.

Main Results:

  • Radiotherapy is a key component of pediatric cancer treatment.
  • Understanding radiation's biological effects is essential for predicting late toxicities.
  • Age at treatment significantly influences the type and severity of late effects.
  • Specific organ systems are particularly susceptible to radiation-induced damage.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of radiotherapy late effects is vital for childhood cancer survivors.
  • Early identification and intervention can mitigate long-term health consequences.
  • Comprehensive screening strategies are necessary to monitor survivor health.
