Gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPRs) overexpressed in many cancers are known as promising biomarkers to target tumors such as prostate, breast, and lung cancers. As the early diagnosis of the cancers can serve for better treatment of the patients, [In]In-DOTA-Pip-D-Phe-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Sta-Leu-NH2 ([In]In-RM2) was prepared using an in-house developed Sn/In generator. 0.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system (CNS) in adults, continues to result in poor survival rates despite standard treatment. Advancements in understanding GBM's molecular complexity have increased interest in targeted therapeutic approaches. This retrospective, single-center, single-arm study combined nimotuzumab and bevacizumab with radiotherapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ) for the treatment of newly diagnosed GBM.

Radiation therapy (RT) is fundamental to the fight against cancer because of its exceptional ability to target and destroy cancer cells. However, conventional radiation therapy can significantly affect the adjacent normal tissues, leading to fibrosis, inflammation, and decreased organ function. This tissue damage not only reduces the quality of life but also prevents the total elimination of cancer.

We have developed a 3-D acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) prostate imaging system to identify regions suspicious for cancer and guide a targeted prostate biopsy in a single visit. The system uses a side-fire transrectal probe and an automated rotation stage to acquire ARFI and B-mode image volumes, combined with 3-D visualization and targeting software to enable biopsy target identification and guide a transperineal (TP) biopsy. The system was tested in the first clinical trial of its kind, with subjects serially undergoing ARFI-guided targeted TP biopsy, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-ultrasound fusion TP biopsy, and systematic sampling TP biopsy.

Purpose: This study aims to determine dosimetric influence of rectal gas in carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT) for prostate cancer and to establish a procedure for removal rectal gas in clinical scenarios.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed 18 prostate cancer cases with bulky rectal gas. The dose distribution was recalculated on computed tomography (CT) with bulky rectal gas (gasCT) after creating the initial plan on a CT without bulky rectal gas, and the doses were transformed using a displacement vector field.
