Previously, we showed that administration of a high-fat diet (HF-diet) to C57BL/6 mice exacerbates their response to short-term UVB radiation-induced inflammation in the skin. To explore the effects of an HF-diet on UVB-induced tumorigenesis, we have used the SKH-1 hairless mouse model in which the mice are exposed to UVB radiation (180 mJ/cm{sup 2}) three times a week for 24 weeks. The development of UVB-induced skin tumors was rapid and the tumor multiplicity and tumor size were significantly higher (P , 0.01-0.005) in the mice fed an HF-diet than the mice fed a control-diet (C-diet). Moreover, the malignant progression of UVB-induced papillomas to carcinomas was higher in HF-diet-fed mice. On analysis of tumors and tumor-uninvolved skin samples from the tumor-bearing mice, we found that administration of an HF-diet significantly enhanced the levels of UVB-induced expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin E{sub 2} (P , 0.01), and PGE{sub 2} receptors, and activation of NF-κB in ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Preliminary Occupational Radiation Exposure evaluation related to NET/ITER tritium systems. AU - Ciattaglia, S.. AU - Sandri, S.. AU - Cambi, G.. PY - 1993/6. Y1 - 1993/6. N2 - This paper presents the criteria adopted to evaluate Occupational Radiation Exposure (ORE) during normal operation and maintenance of NET/ITER and some results concerning the fuel cycle systems located in the tokamak and tritium buildings. Prompt radiation, activity concentration, and intake situations as well as number of workers, number of events, and exposure time are considered. Many systems and components, whose location in the plant can affect radiological protection during maintenance and/or surveillance, are identified together with the operations needed for each activity. Accidental conditions and equipment failures have been considered in the special maintenance activity when they are due to events with a high probability of occurrence so that such events might be expected during the life of the ...

Dr. De Lisios project addresses the important issue of late effects of cancer therapy. Specifically, he and his team will evaluate how obesity and exercise mitigate the risk of radiation-induced leukemia. Growing numbers of long-term cancer survivors means that the late effects of therapy, including radiation-induced cancers, are a major health concern. They want to know if obesity increases the risk of developing blood cancers following radiation exposure, and if exercise can mitigate this risk. They will use mice to test the effects of diet-induced obesity and exercise on radiation-induced blood cancer. They expect to identify obesity as a factor that increases radiation-induced blood cancer risk, and introduce exercise as a viable intervention to decrease this risk. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Influence of gestational age at exposure on the prenatal effects of γ-radiation. AU - Uma Devi, P.. AU - Baskar, R.. PY - 1996/8/16. Y1 - 1996/8/16. N2 - The abdominal region of pregnant Swiss albino mice was exposed to single dose of 0.5 Gy γ-radiation at gestation days from 1.5 to 17.5 days post-coitus (p.c.). The animals were sacrificed on day 18 p.c. and foetuses were examined for resorption and embryonic death, foetal death, growth retardation, small head, low brain weight, microphthalmia and any other gross morphological abnormalities. The period of maximum sensitivity for each effect varied. The only demonstrable effect of irradiation during the preimplantation period was an increase in prenatal mortality. Resorptions were maximal after exposure between days 2 and 4 p.c. The pre-implantation irradiated embryos which survived did not show any major foetal abnormalities. These results confirm earlier mouse studies using higher doses of X-rays. Small head, low brain weight ...

CT cancer risk little weighed against underlying morbidity By Lynda Williams, Senior medwireNews Reporter The mortality risk linked to the underlying reason behind computed tomography imaging in young adults outweighs the risk for radiation-induced tumor, reassure US researchers her . As reported in Radiology, over the average 5.5 years of follow-up after imaging, 7.1 percent of 8057 chest CT individuals and 3.9 percent of 13,888 abdominal CT patients died. That is a whole order of magnitude bigger than the expected 0.1 percent predicted risk for death from CT-induced cancers in patients aged 18-35 years, say Robert Zondervan and co-authors.. ...

Latest study results show that although chemotherapy shrinks cancer tumours in the short term, it could trigger the spread of cancer cells around the body.

In quite a few cancers, stage 4 means the cancer has spread (metastasised) to another part of the body to form secondary cancers (metastases). As a general rule cancers that have spread are difficult to treat and are unlikely to be cured in the long term, although treatment can help to shrink or control them ...

Cancer is a stochastic effect of radiation, meaning that the probability of occurrence increases with effective radiation dose, but the severity of the cancer is independent of dose. The speed at which cancer advances, the prognosis, the degree of pain, and every other feature of the disease are not functions of the radiation dose to which the person is exposed. This contrasts with the deterministic effects of acute radiation syndrome which increase in severity with dose above a threshold. Cancer starts with a single cell whose operation is disrupted. Normal cell operation is controlled by the chemical structure of DNA molecules, also called chromosomes. When radiation deposits enough energy in organic tissue to cause ionization, this tends to break molecular bonds, and thus alter the molecular structure of the irradiated molecules. Less energetic radiation, such as visible light, only causes excitation, not ionization, which is usually dissipated as heat with relatively little chemical damage. ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:. I. To determine the impact of a two-year course of low-dose tamoxifen (tamoxifen citrate) administered at 5 mg per day on surrogate endpoint biomarkers of breast cancer (BC) risk, including: mammographic breast density (MBD), an established radiographic biomarker of BC risk; cytomorphology and proliferative index, tissue biomarkers closely linked to BC risk; and sex steroid hormones and insulin growth factors, circulating biomarkers of BC risk.. II. To establish safety and tolerability of this low-dose tamoxifen regimen, assessing both objective measures (lipid profiles, clotting factors and bone metabolism markers) and patient-reported outcomes.. III. To examine the modifying effect of demographic, clinical, and molecular characteristics on the risk: benefit ratio from this two-year low dose tamoxifen intervention.. IV. To explore the relationship between this low-dose tamoxifen regimen and clinical measures of efficacy (new breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS] ...

See related article by Kaplan, Cancer Research 1947;7:141-7.. Visit the Cancer Research 75th Anniversary timeline.. Here we highlight Dr. Henry S. Kaplans article, Observations On Radiation-Induced Lymphoid Tumors Of Mice, published in the March 1947 issue of Cancer Research (1). Dr. Kaplan is recognized as one of the most significant contributors to numerous conceptual advances and discoveries in radiobiology and lymphoid tumors. During Dr. Kaplans storied career, his untiring devotion to science led to lasting insights into radiation-induced carcinogenesis and his creativity assisted in the development of tools and procedures to cure Hodgkin lymphoma, a disease once thought to be incurable. To fully grasp Dr. Kaplans ingenuity and contributions to cancer research, we must start with a reflection of the state of scientific thinking at the time when Dr. Kaplan first initiated the studies that led to his landmark article.. Two of the most pressing issues in cancer medicine in the early 1900s ...

Body measurements (height, weight, chest circumference, etc.) have been taken at ABCC-RERF as indices of growth in young A-bomb survivors. Findings show that growth retardation has been a general result of childhood exposure to bomb radiation. The left figure represents the results of fetal exposure cases; while no clear dose effect was seen among those who were exposed to ,1 Gy, larger doses (≥1 Gy) did cause decreased adult height by about 6 cm (or about 2.5 cm per Gy). The effect was already seen at age 10, but the subsequent pubertal growth spurt was not affected. The right figure represents the results of exposure at various ages, which used the first height information after age of 20 years. The radiation effect seems to be more pronounced among females than in males. Studies were also conducted regarding age at menarche among female survivors, but no radiation effects were seen. Recent data, however, suggest a possibility that radiation exposure has led to an earlier menopause ...

Despite its benefits in cancer treatment, ionising radiation (IR) can induce a series of adverse acute and/or long term effects. Studies on A-bomb survivors and radiotherapy patients have shown that acute whole-body exposure results in an increased risk for radiation-induced Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (r-AML), a bone marrow (BM) malignancy; whereas local-radiotherapy patients run the risk of developing acute and/or long term normal tissue reactions. Irradiated BM cells manifest persistent radiation-induced genomic instability. BM is one of the most susceptible tissues to radiation-induced cancer and one of the most radiosensitive tissues, which proposes a link between cancer susceptibility, genomic instability and radiosensitivity. The exact mechanism by which exposure of BM cells to IR leads to malignant transformation is still unclear, but the non-targeted nature of radiation-induced damage and genomic instability could suggest that an epigenetic mechanism is also involved; and DNA methylation is ...

For additional supplements, I recommend a flavonoid-rich extract like green tea, grapeseed, Pycnogenol® or ginkgo biloba at a dosage of at least 100 mg daily, but ideally 300 mg. Flavonoids appear to reduce the formation of clastogenic factors that exist in the blood of patients either accidentally or therapeutically exposed to radiation, and may persist for more than 30 years. They are associated with an increased risk of radiation-induced cancers. Chernobyl workers who were given ginkgo extract for two months had clastogenic factors disappear from their blood. The workers were followed for one year, and it was found that the anti-clastogenic effect persisted for seven months in most cases. I believe that other flavonoid-rich extracts may offer the same sort of benefits, and I recommend their continued, indefinite use in anyone exposed to significant levels of radiation.. Lastly, I think it is a good idea to take advantage of the adaptogenic and radiation protection offered by such herbal ...

Even this is still short of the 1,300 deaths figure. The paper looks at some assumptions about the rate of emissions, evacuation radiuses and the nature of the releases and concludes that such uncertainties could push the death figure up to 1,300.. So, the WDDTY claim that the tsunami disaster will claim around 1,300 deaths is not true. The upper limit, given a number of worst-case assumptions may mean that up to 1,300 have a fatal cancer. But the paper also notes this could be as low as 15 deaths. It is difficult to not conclude that WDDTY has picked the worst case figure and presented it as the likely figure in order to further its own aims at the expense of accuracy.. Lets put these figures into perspective.. The Japanese Tsunami claimed nearly 18,000 lives. The attributable deaths to the reactor accident that add to this figure is, at the moment, zero.. Radiation-induced cancer can take decades to materialise. In the United States alone, there are annually 1,638,910 new cancer cases and ...

The invention provides a system for therapeutic treatment of an organ, tumor, or other internal structure of a living body with therapeutic radiation after implantation, at the organ, of a magnetic element to identify the location of the organ, the element being capable of emitting a magnetic signal in response to an applied magnetic field. The system comprises a magnetic field generator for irradiating the magnetic element with an applied magnetic field, a movable magnetic field sensor for detecting the magnetic signal from a plurality of selected mutually displaced positions to produce a corresponding plurality of element-locating signals, a computing apparatus for converting the signals to a location image of the internal structure, and a controlled source of therapeutic radiation for focussing a selected degree and duration of therapeutic radiation at a target determined from the location image of the magnetic element. Preferably, the magnetic element is a length of wire of an amorphous magnetic

But what led AEC scientists to seriously underestimate the radiation dangers in the 1950s and 1960s? The question is important because it bears on the depleted uranium issue. At the time there were no studies of the internal effects of low-level radiation. The presumed risk was an extrapolation from studies of the incidence of cancer and leukemia in the atomic survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In both cases the primary source of exposure was assumed to be external: a brief but intense shower of neutrons and gamma radiation. The burst was extremely penetrating and distributed over the human body as a whole, for which reason physicists calculated cancer risk as an average whole-body dose. This approach led them to estimate zero-risk for low-level radiation, i.e., radioactive fallout. Why? Because when a low-level dose is averaged over the body, or even over an organ, the calculated risk is vanishingly small. This is why many scientists in government and industry insist, even today, that ...

While x-rays can be teratogenic in humans, the consequences of in utero exposure to radiotherapy are unclear in terms of dose and duration. Many of the data on the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation during pregnancy have arisen from studies on survivors of the atomic bombs used in World War II. Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation has been associated with an increased risk of fetal malformations, mental retardation, growth retardation, and, in particular, small head circumference.1 4 However, only a few cases have been reported of pregnant mothers treated for cancer with radiotherapy applied to the upper body. Although some of these cases have reported normal outcomes, the offspring follow-up was too short to draw ultimate conclusions.. To highlight the complexities involved, we will present the case of the woman introduced in the Question. She received radiation for 4 weeks during the first trimester of pregnancy and decided to continue the pregnancy to term, as no fetal ...

THIS BOOK could not have come into being without the understanding, concern and support of many individuals whose help I was privileged to receive during the years in which the events recounted here took place. Although it is impossible to list all those to whom I have become deeply indebted, there are a few individuals whose help went far beyond anything I shall ever be able to acknowledge adequately. First among these is my wife Marilyn, who not only stood by my side throughout these years, but also provided the constant counsel, encouragement and understanding needed in the long and arduous task of writing this book. And it was the great personal dedication of my editor, Joel Griffiths, that shaped the first edition of the book, helping immeasurably in the difficult task of explaining for the non-scientist the complex scientific and technical arguments underlying the events described. Thus, though the responsibility for the accuracy of the facts and their interpretation must remain mine, ...

SARI Friends:. I want to tell you about my past 24 hours. Our 12-year old son stayed home from school with an upset stomach. It got progressively worse throughout the day yesterday, so we went to see his pediatrician. The pain was localized to his right side and he had other symptoms which concerned her, so she sent him and my wife to a childrens hospital - which is one of the best hospitals of its kind in the country - for an ultrasound. A second pediatrician examined him and advised my wife that he had signs consistent with appendicitis. This is where it got interesting. She advised that we get an ultrasound rather than an abdominal CT, even though a CT provides a more consistently reliable diagnosis. She said that if the ultrasound was inconclusive, they would proceed to a CT. At this point, my wife called me. I asked what the pediatricians reason was for not proceeding directly to a CT, and she told my wife that CT involves radiation exposure equivalent to 1000 X-ray exams and there are ...

This study with C3 complex has resulted in the identification of a novel FGFR/mTOR signaling pathway for the effective prevention of UVB-induced skin cancer. The role of FGFR/mTOR signaling should be further validated as a prospective photo-prevention target in skin cancer. Recently, FGF/FGFR signaling has attracted considerable attention for its critical role in endometrial, breast, hepatocellular, gastric, and pancreatic cancer via modulating cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation (30-34). AZD4547, a pan-FGFR inhibitor, is an exciting novel targeted agent shown to provide efficacy in several phase II clinical trials with FGFR-dysregulated tumors (35-37). AZD4547 inhibited FGFR2 mutant-expressing endometrial cancers and was more effective in AN3-CA cells expressing FGFR2 mutation (N550K/K310R) compared with normal cells HEC1A (31). In skin cancer, recent studies have identified the role of FGF2 in melanoma with FGFR2 and FGFR4 upregulated in the melanoma cell lines (38). Inhibition ...

One study investigated the occurrence of a secondary cancer five years after treatment with radiation in a large population of men with prostate cancer. The study found that, compared to men who received no radiation, those who received external beam radiation as their only form of treatment were at a significantly higher risk of developing secondary cancers of the bladder and rectum. They were also at risk of developing secondary cancers in other areas not directly related to the initial target, including the brain, cecum, lung, skin, stomach, and transverse colon.. Patients who survive Hodgkins disease as children are at a greater risk for developing solid tumors in adulthood, especially breast cancer. Bhatia et al., representing the Late Effects Study Group, reported that second cancers developed 18 times more often in patients who received treatment for Hodgkins disease before the age of 16 years than would be expected in the general population… Secondary cancers are also a well known ...

Ciprofloxacin was not carcinogenic or tumorigenic in 2-year carcinogenicity studies with rats and mice at daily oral dose levels of 250 and 750 mg/kg, respectively (approximately 2 and 3 -fold greater than the 1000 mg daily human dose based upon body surface area). Results from photo co-carcinogenicity testing indicate that ciprofloxacin does not reduce the time to appearance of UV-induced skin tumors as compared to vehicle control. Hairless (Skh-1) mice were exposed to UVA light for 3.5 hours five times every two weeks for up to 78 weeks while concurrently being administered ciprofloxacin. The time to development of the first skin tumors was 50 weeks in mice treated concomitantly with UVA and ciprofloxacin (mouse dose approximately equal to the maximum recommended daily human dose of 1000 mg based upon mg/m2), as opposed to 34 weeks when animals were treated with both UVA and vehicle. The times to development of skin tumors ranged from 16-32 weeks in mice treated concomitantly with UVA and ...

DU projectiles puncture almost all metal targets. Due to its m ass and velocity, it breaks up and vaporizes into micron-sized particles upon impact. The Pentagon says DU is safe, but veteran advocates are skeptical, saying the military should scientifically study the most-exposed soldiers to see if they develop illnesses tied to low-level radiation exposure. Such exposure would come from either inhaling or ingesting airborne DU particles from destroyed Iraqi targets or from friendly fire accidents, and the related emergency responses and subsequent clean up ...
