RNAi-Mediated Targeting of Noncoding and Coding Sequences in DNA Repair Gene Messages Efficiently Radiosensitizes Human Tumor Cells
Zhiming Zheng,Wooi Loon Ng,Xiangming Zhang,Jeffrey J. Olson,Chunhai Hao,Walter J. Curran,Ya Wang +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that combining an artificial miRNA engineered to target 3'-untranslated regions of XRCC2 orXRCC4 along with an siRNA to target the gene coding region can improve silencing efficiencies to achieve more robust radiosensitization than a single approach alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Report of phase ii trial of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with radical thoracic irradiation (60 gy), infusional fluorouracil, bolus cisplatin and etoposide for clinical stage IIIB and bulky iiia non-small cell lung cancer
Corey J. Langer,Walter J. Curran,Steven M. Keller,Robert B. Catalano,Wyatt Fowler,Kenneth B. Blankstein,Kenneth B. Blankstein,Samuel Litwin,Partha Bagchi,Sherrie Nash,Robert L. Comis +10 more
TL;DR: This aggressive regimen produced a 2-year survival comparable to the best arm of cancer and leukemia groups B study 8433, which administered radical thoracic radiotherapy after protoadjuvant vinblastine and cisplatin in similar and earlier stage non-small cell lung cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
NRG Oncology/NSABP B-51/RTOG 1304: Phase III trial to determine if chest wall and regional nodal radiotherapy (CWRNRT) post mastectomy (Mx) or the addition of RNRT to whole breast RT post breast-conserving surgery (BCS) reduces invasive breast cancer recurrence-free interval (IBCR-FI) in patients (pts) with pathologically positive axillary (PPAx) nodes who are ypN0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC).

TL;DR: In this article, a phase III post-NC trial evaluated if CWRNRT post-Mx or whole breast irradiation (WBI) with RNRT with BCS significantly reduced the IBCR-FI rate in pts with PPAx nodes that a...
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated skin segmentation in ultrasonic evaluation of skin toxicity in breast cancer radiotherapy.
Yi Gao,Allen Tannenbaum,Hao Chen,Mylin A. Torres,Emi J. Yoshida,Xiaofeng Yang,Y. Wang,Walter J. Curran,Tian Liu +8 more
TL;DR: An automatic skin segmentation tool (ASST) based on the active contour model with two significant modifications, including a novel dual-curve scheme for the double skin layer extraction, as opposed to the original single active contours method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized prospective comparison of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) followed by conventional radiotherapy (RT) with BCNU to RT with BCNU alone for selected patients with supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme (GBM): report of RTOG 93-05 protocol
