Abstract 3331: Gene expression profiling after radiation in human breast cancer specimens and breast cancer cell lines

Conference Cancer Research · August 1, 2015 AbstractBackground: Breast radiotherapy is currently “one size fits all” regardless of breast cancer subtype (eg. luminal, basal). Emerging clinical data suggests that these distinct subtypes of breast cance ... Full text Cite

Abstract 3302: Subtype-specific radiation response in a mouse model of human breast cancer

Conference Cancer Research · August 1, 2015 AbstractRadiation therapy is an important component of multimodal treatment for women with breast cancer. However, breast radiotherapy is currently delivered uniformly, regardless of breast cancer subtype. R ... Full text Cite

Abstract P2-12-07: The association between exercise behavior and patient-reported outcomes in women with early breast cancer receiving locoregional radiation therapy

Conference Cancer Research · May 1, 2015 AbstractPurpose/Objectives: RT is associated with acute treatment-related complications that can lead to poor quality of life (QOL) and fatigue. Exercise has been shown in other cancer treatment settings to ... Full text Cite

Abstract P1-15-10: Low utilization of hypofractionated radiotherapy for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer in the US

Conference Cancer Research · May 1, 2015 AbstractBackground: Large randomized controlled trials have shown that hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (HF-WBI) is not inferior to or more toxic than conventionally fractionated whole breast irradi ... Full text Cite

The use of adjuvant radiotherapy in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer: changes in practice patterns after publication of Cancer and Leukemia Group B 9343.

Conference Cancer · January 15, 2015 BACKGROUND: The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 9343 randomized phase 3 trial established lumpectomy and adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen alone, rather than both radiotherapy and tamoxifen, as a reasonable treatment course for women aged >70 years with ...

Abstract P5-14-04: Preoperative single-fraction partial breast radiotherapy – Initial results from a novel phase I dose-escalation protocol with exploration of radiation response biomarkers

Conference Cancer Research · December 15, 2013 AbstractPurpose/Objectives(s): Women with biologically favorable early stage breast cancer are increasingly treated with accelerated partial breast techniques. However, many alternative techniques require co ... Full text Cite

SU‐E‐CAMPUS‐J‐04: Evaluating Radiation‐Induced Changes with Diffusion Weighted MRI and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI in Patients with Early Stage Breast Cancer Treated with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: Initial Results

Conference Medical Physics · January 1, 2013 Purpose: Pre‐operative stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) was delivered in a single fraction to treat patients with early stage breast cancer; however, few data are available regarding radiation‐induced changes by SBRT. In this work, diffusion weighted ... Full text Cite

Gene Expression Response to Ionizing Radiation in Luminal and Basal Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Conference International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics · November 2012 Full text Cite

SU‐GG‐T‐583: Dosimetric Comparison of Anisotropic Analytical and Pencil Beam Convolution Algorithms in Breast Cancer Radiation Treatment Planning

Conference Medical Physics · January 1, 2010 Purpose: The anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) has been shown to provide more accurate dose calculation due to 3D scatter and inhomogeneity corrections than the pencil beam convolution algorithm (PBC) for inhomogeneous anatomical regions such as lung ...
