Abstract

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a new therapeutic paradigm that uses a very large dose per fraction treatments (ablative hypofractionation). We investigated the use of ablative hypofractionation in treating human renal cell carcinoma using a nude mouse model. Nude mice were injected subcutaneously with A498 human renal carcinoma cells. Tumour-bearing animals were radiated with three fractions (one per week) for a total dose of 48 Gy (n = 12), while untreated animals served as controls (n = 7). The mice were weighed, and tumour volumes were measured at baseline and weekly until 7 weeks post-treatment. Control animals demonstrated progressive tumour growth and were sacrificed because of either tumour size or ulceration. Tumours in the treatment group grew to three times their initial size over the 3 weeks of treatment but subsequently decreased progressively to less than 30% of their initial volume. All treated tumours exhibited marked cytologic changes. Tumours from mice sacrificed before post-treatment week 4 had a mitotic count of 1-4/10 hpf. Tumours from mice sacrificed more than 4 weeks post-treatment (n = 4) demonstrated no mitoses. Treatment with high-dose-per-fraction radiation to 48 Gy resulted in a sustain...Continue Reading

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.
