Journal ArticleDOI
Protein kinase C zeta mediates epidermal growth factor-induced growth of head and neck tumor cells by regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase.
Ezra E.W. Cohen,Mark W. Lingen,Bangmin Zhu,Hongyan Zhu,M.W. Straza,Carolyn Pierce,Leslie E. Martin,Marsha Rich Rosner +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that PKCzeta is associated with SCCHN progression, PKCczeta mediates EGF-stimulated MAPK activation in keratinocytes andSCCHN cell lines, and PKCZeta inhibitors function additively with other inhibitors that target similar or complementary signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
4D-MRI driven MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy for abdominal stereotactic body radiation therapy on a high field MR-Linac: Implementation and initial clinical experience.
Eric S. Paulson,Ergun Ahunbay,Xinfeng Chen,Nikolai J. Mickevicius,G. P. Chen,Christopher J. Schultz,Beth Erickson,M.W. Straza,William A. Hall,X. Allen Li +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first clinical use of 4D-MRI in an online radiation therapy workflow using ATP and ATS workflows and a parallel contour editing approach was successfully utilized in the ATS workflow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic targeting of C-terminal binding protein in human cancer
M.W. Straza,Seema Paliwal,Ramesh C. Kovi,Barur R. Rajeshkumar,Peter Trenh,Daniel Parker,Giles F. Whalen,Stephen Lyle,Celia A. Schiffer,Steven R. Grossman +9 more
TL;DR: In human colon cancer cell peritoneal xenografts, MTOB treatment decreased tumor burden and induced tumor cell apoptosis, suggesting that CtBP inhibition may provide a suitable therapeutic index for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial clinical experience of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for liver metastases, primary liver malignancy, and pancreatic cancer with 4D-MRI based online adaptation and real-time MRI monitoring using a 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac
William A. Hal,M.W. Straza,Xinfeng Chen,Nikolai J. Mickevicius,Beth Erickson,Christopher J. Schultz,Musaddiq J. Awan,Ergun Ahunbay,X. Allen Li,Eric S. Paulson +9 more
TL;DR: A first clinical series of patients treated for pancreatic tumors, primary liver tumors, and secondary liver tumors with a 1.5 Tesla MR Linear accelerator using adapt- to-position and adapt-to-shape strategies is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Patient-Specific Autosegmentation Strategy Using Multi-Input Deformable Image Registration for Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A Feasibility Study.
Y. Zhang,Eric S. Paulson,S.N. Lim,William A. Hall,Ergun Ahunbay,Nikolai J. Mickevicius,M.W. Straza,Beth Erickson,X. Allen Li +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a patient-specific autosegmentation strategy using multiple-input deformable image registration (DIR; PASSMID) was proposed to improve segmentation accuracy and efficiency for MRgOART.
