Article Synopsis
- Technological advancements increase the potential threats from Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) that could harm individuals, organizations, and nations globally.
- CBRNE incidents can be accidental or intentional and have the potential to cause mass casualties, severe injuries, and long-term disabilities if not managed properly.
- This review focuses on the biological agents classified by the CDC as high-risk for bioterrorism, detailing their characteristics, transmission methods, protective measures, and treatment protocols.
Introduction: Severe pulmonary hemorrhage can occur in patients treated with thoracic stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFis). There is limited understanding of which patients are at risk for toxicity with the combination of thoracic SABR and VEGFis or how the risk differs over either therapy alone.
Methods: We evaluated a prospectively maintained cohort of 690 patients with 818 pulmonary tumors treated with highly conformal SABR.
