Terbium-Labeled Gold Nanoparticles as Nanoscale Brachytherapy Agents Against Breast Cancer.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

Radiochemical Studies Laboratory, Institute of Nuclear & Radiological Sciences & Technology, Energy & Safety, National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos", Patriarchou Grigoriou and 27 Neapoleos Street, 15341 Athens, Greece.

Due to their intriguing emission profile, Terbium-161 (Tb) radiopharmaceuticals seem to bring significant advancement in theranostic applications to cancer treatment. The combination of Tb with nanoscale brachytherapy as an approach for cancer treatment is particularly advantageous and promising. Herein, we propose the application of a hybrid nanosystem comprising gold decorated (Au@TADOTAGA) iron oxide nanoflowers as a form of injectable nanobrachytherapy for the local treatment of breast cancer.

Approximately 36% of patients with cervical cancer present with regional nodal metastasis at diagnosis, which is associated with adverse survival outcomes after definitive treatment. In the modern era of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT), where excellent local control is achieved for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), nodal failure remains a major challenge to cure. To optimize treatment outcomes for node-positive LACC and reduce the incidence of nodal failure, various treatment approaches have been explored, including methods of surgical nodal staging or dissection, RT dose escalation strategies, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to involved nodes, and elective treatment of subclinical para-aortic (PAO) disease.

Impacts of Postoperative Adjuvant Therapies on the Survival of Women with High-Risk Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer: A Cohort Study.

Cancers (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inha University Hospital, College of Medicine, Inha University, Incheon 22332, Republic of Korea.

The survival outcomes according to postoperative adjuvant therapeutic strategy in women with high-risk early-stage endometrial cancer (EEC) have not been clearly compared. This study examined the impacts of various postoperative adjuvant therapies on the survival of women with high-risk EEC. Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service data related to Korean cancer registration data were used.

Cervical cancer is the most important cancer type found in women throughout the world. Numerous research studies are being performed to investigate the effectiveness of different strategies for the imaging and treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, which are showing favorable outcomes. Brachytherapy is characterized by the application of very high radiation doses to target tumor cells with the least exposure to normal tissues.
