Purpose: There is currently substantial clinical interest in pentoxifylline as an inhibitor of
radiation-related normal tissue injury. To further assess this drug's potential toxicity-sparing …

Background The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the association between
radiation sensitivity of the lungs and candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in …

The purpose of this ethics committee approved prospective study was to evaluate an image
acquisition and registration protocol for hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance …

Introduction We investigated the value of lung perfusion imaging in predicting the risk of
developing pulmonary complications after chemoradiation (CRT) or radiation therapy (RT) …

The endothelial cell glycoprotein, thrombomodulin (TM), is an important physiological
anticoagulant. TM is downregulated and released from the cell membrane into the …

We have shown that high dose conformal radiation combined with chemotherapy appears to
prolong the survival of patients with unresectable intrahepatic cancers. The ability to safely …

Dose–effect calculations used in the planning of modern radiotherapy (RT) involving normal
lung or cardiac tissue rely on structural imaging techniques, such as CT, as the basis for …

This study investigates agreement between ventilation and perfusion for lung cancer
patients undergoing radiotherapy. Ventilation-perfusion scans of nineteen patients with …

PURPOSE To determine the local and overall pulmonary injury 3 to 18 months after
irradiation and to investigate whether the changes in overall lung function can be predicted …

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the
mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2R) gene locus and the …
