Localized hyperthermia with iron oxide-doped yttrium microparticles: steps toward image-guided thermoradiotherapy in liver cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To test whether iron oxide (IO)-containing yttrium aluminosilicate (YAS) microparticles (MPs) can generate localized therapeutic hyperthermia (≥ 43°C) when injected intratumorally in an animal model of liver cancer and whether MP distributions could be visualized with magnetic resonance

Yttrium iron garnet for hyperthermia applications: Synthesis, characterization and in-vitro analysis

Only registered users can translate articles

Exclusive magnetocaloric properties of orthoferrites offer advantages for their application in the magnetic hyperthermia as well as imaging applications. In the present study, the effect of yttrium concentration on the magnetic characteristics of the iron oxide based nanomaterials was analyzed to

Combination studies of hyperthermia induced by the neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser as an adjuvant to photodynamic therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia have been investigated as treatments for several types of tumors. Studies have been done to determine the efficacy of each modality individually and recently in combination with each other. In this study, 630-nm light was delivered by an argon-dye laser

Yttrium-Doped Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia Applications

Only registered users can translate articles

Magnetic nanoparticles of Fe₃O₄ doped by different amounts of Y³⁺ (0, 0.1, 1, and 10%) ions were designed to obtain maximum heating efficiency in magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment. Single-phase formation was evident by X-ray diffraction measurements. An

Application of the holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser for complicated impacted ureteral stones: a preliminary report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery is a current trend in all kinds of surgical fields. Endoscopic stone manipulation with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) is the preferred method for treating lower ureteral stones or calculi which cannot be resolved with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Endobronchial radiation therapy with or without neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet laser resection for managing malignant airway obstruction.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Previous reports have shown low-dose-rate (LDR) afterloading Ir-192 endobronchial radiation therapy (EnBRT) to effectively palliate symptoms in patients with malignant airway obstruction. The authors retrospectively assessed the consequences of LDR EnBRT with or without neodymium yttrium

Investigation on Tc tuned nano particles of magnetic oxides for hyperthermia applications.

Only registered users can translate articles

Superparamagnetic as well as fine ferrimagnetic particles such as Fe3O4, have been extensively used in magnetic field induced localized hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer. The magnetic materials with Curie temperature (Tc) between 42 and 50 degrees C, with sufficient biocompatibility are the

Yttrium-90 microspheres: radiation therapy for unresectable liver cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes a difficult health challenge because of its poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Most available therapies are used only for palliation. The use of yttrium-90 microspheres is a new intraarterial therapy consisting of beta-irradiating microspheres

Single-institution experience of radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres for unresectable metastatic neuroendocrine liver tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of yttrium-90 (90 Y) microspheres for the treatment of unresectable metastatic liver neuroendocrine tumors (NET). METHODS From February 2006 to September 2015, 36 patients (19 male and 17 female, age 63.6 ± 9.4 years) who underwent 90 Y

Single-Center Comparison of Overall Survival and Toxicities in Patients with Infiltrative Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Yttrium-90 Radioembolization or Drug-Eluting Embolic Transarterial Chemoembolization.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To compare overall survival and toxicities after yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization and chemoembolization with drug-eluting embolics (DEE) in patients with infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Retrospective review of 50 patients with infiltrative HCC without main portal

Combination of internal radiation therapy and hyperthermia to treat liver cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sixteen patients were treated for liver cancer (primary and metastatic) by a combination of internal radiation therapy with intra-arterial yttrium 90 microspheres and regional hyperthermia with electromagnetic radiation. Four patients have their liver disease apparently controlled; two had a partial

Progressive microvascular injury in liver and colorectal liver metastases following laser induced focal hyperthermia therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Focal hyperthermia by laser or radiofrequency is currently the preferred method for local ablation of liver tumors. The underlying mechanism of action of focal hyperthermia, in particular the relationship between the microvascular and tissue effect is uncertain and was investigated in a

Recurrent villonodular synovitis of the knee. Successful treatment with yttrium-90.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 40-year-old woman with recurrent pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee was treated with Yttrium-90 radiocolloid. The advantages of Yttrium-90 include effectiveness, low cost, simplicity, and low morbidity. The radiophysical properties of Yttrium-90 that make it a useful therapeutic agent

Subsequent chemotherapy regimens are well tolerated after radioimmunotherapy with yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Yttrium-90 (90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin; IDEC Pharmaceutical, San Diego, CA) is an effective therapy for patients with relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The predominant toxicity of 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan has been myelosuppression, and concern has been expressed about the
