Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of stereotactic body radiation therapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been an emerging non-invasive treatment modality for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) when surgical treatment cannot be applied. The CyberKnife is a SBRT system that allows for real-time tracking of the tumor. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for ICC patients receiving this treatment.

A Bayesian network meta-analysis of whole brain radiotherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastasis.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRS) in treatment of brain metastasis.A systematical retrieval in PubMed and Embase databases was performed for relative literatures on the effects of WBRT and SRS in treatment of brain metastasis. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed by using the ADDIS software.

TGF-β1 rs1982073 polymorphism contributes to radiation pneumonitis in lung cancer patients: a meta-analysis.

Transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) polymorphism was associated with radiation pneumonitis (RP) susceptibility, but their results have been inconsistent. The PubMed and CNKI were searched for case-control studies published up to Januray 01, 2016 was Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. In this meta-analysis, we assessed eight publications involving 368 radiation pneumonitis cases and 855 controls of the association between TGF-β1 T869C (rs1982073) and G915C (rs1800471) polymorphism and RP susceptibility.

CYP2E1 Rsa Ι/Pst Ι polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis involving 10,947 subjects.

Many studies have examined the association between the CYP2E1 Rsa Ι/Pst Ι (rs3813867) polymorphism gene polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in various populations, but their results have been inconsistent. The PubMed and CNKI database was searched for case-control studies published up to October 2013. Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

Nedaplatin concurrent with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for treatment of locally advanced esophageal carcinoma.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of nedaplatin (NDP) concurrent with radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal carcinoma.

Methods: Sixty-eight patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma were randomized into either a NDP group (n = 34) or a cisplatin (DDP) group (n = 34). The NDP group received NDP 80-100 mg/m² iv on day 1 + leucovorin (CF) 100 mg/m² iv on days 1-5 + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 500 mg/m² iv on days 1-5.
