Genetic Variability of Antioxidative Mechanisms and Cardiotoxicity after Adjuvant Radiotherapy in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the association of common polymorphisms in antioxidative genes with cardiotoxicity after adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in HER2-positive breast cancer patients was evaluated.

Radiation with immunotherapy: an emerging combination for cancer treatment

TL;DR: The fundamental immunogenic properties of RT are outlined and an overview of the clinical experience thus far that support the combination of RT with immunotherapy in cancer treatments are presented.

Novel Imaging Approaches to Head and Neck Cancer

TL;DR: Hypoxia has been shown to be important in overall diminished therapeutic response, malignant progression, increased probability of recurrence, locoregional spread, and distant metastases, and how information about the oxygenation status of tumors might impact treatment.

Measurement of hemoglobin saturation in tumor microvasculature in preclinical models using hyperspectral imaging

TL;DR: A hyperspectral imaging system has been constructed to create image maps of hemoglobin saturation in microvasculature of tumors grown in dorsal skin-fold window chambers, and preliminary baseline studies of early tumor development using 4T1 mouse mammary carcinomas are currently being conducted with the system.

Role of angiogenesis in tumor growth and metastasis

TL;DR: Preclinical studies have shown that endostatin effectively inhibits tumor growth and shrinks existing tumor blood vessels and therapy with endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis, such asendostatin and angiostatin may reverse the angiogenic switch preventing growth of tumor vasculature.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger hypoxia-induced transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested whether mitochondria act as O2 sensors during hypoxia and whether cobalt activated transcription by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species generated at mitochondrial complex III stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha during hypoxia: a mechanism of O2 sensing.

TL;DR: Findings reveal that mitochondria-derived ROS are both required and sufficient to initiate HIF-1α stabilization during hypoxia and that catalase abolishes hypoxic response element-luciferase expression during Hypoxia.

Tumor Response to Radiotherapy Regulated by Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

TL;DR: Microvascular damage regulates tumor cell response to radiation at the clinically relevant dose range, indicating that endothelial apoptosis is a homeostatic factor regulating angiogenesis-dependent tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

TL;DR: A historic account of the challenges associated with the discovery of VEGF and the early steps in elucidating the role of this molecule in the regulation of angiogenesis is provided.
