Previous studies have noted possible associations between periodontitis and the risk of various cancers, particularly head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and non-Hodgkin ...

Oncogenic activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling exists in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increased expression of Serum and Glucocorticoid Inducible Kinase 1 (SGK-1) in NSCLC cells was found ...

Glucocorticoid receptor overexpression leads to poor prognosis in breast cancer, particularly in triple negative phenotype. This poor prognosis has been shown to be due to the activation of SGK1 (serum and glucocorticoid ...

Analysis of The Effects of Extended Computed Tomography Scale and Metal Artefact Reduction Methods on Dose Distribution of Patient with Implant by Using Individualized Fantoms. Hacettepe University Graduated School of ...

One of devices which uses the ablative dose for the Stereotactik body radiation theraphy (SBRT) is CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery System. This device, has different tracking system from other devices. This systems ...

The treatment planning of Tomotherapy depends on three device parameters, i.e. field width (FW), pitch (P) and modulation factor (MF). Various treatment plans can be generated with different combinations of these parameters. ...

In recent years, in the treatment of vulvar cancer, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) have been used instead of 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). In this thesis study, 7 patients who were diagnosed ...

In the treatment of gastrointestinal system (GIS) cancers, radiotherapy (RT) is frequently applied as three dimensional conformal RT (3BKRT) or intensity adjusted RT (YART). GIS tumors are very sensitive to environmental ...

CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are critical mediators in anti-tumor immunity. Together with neutrophils, they have been shown to dominate the immune landscape of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A number of studies have ...

In this study, feasibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based treatment planning system instead of computed tomography (CT) in SRC and SBRT was evaluated. Three different scenarios were created for density and ...
