The fundamental tools of cancer treatment have largely been identified. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and, most recently, immunotherapy form the key components of many treatment plans. So, when ...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A local test is underway for a radiation technique for cervical cancer that could mean a better quality of life during and long after treatment. It's a sobering fact -- more and ...

A lizard lineage which has evolved over the last 19 million years has helped scientists to re-think one of the most important concepts of modern biology: adaptive radiation. A lizard lineage which has ...

For patients with recurrent retroperitoneal sarcomas that cannot be treated surgically, treatment choices are limited. These tumors can grow quite large in the abdomen adjacent to vital organs or ...

MD Anderson Cancer Center has teamed up with medtech firm RaySearch Laboratories to tackle the barriers to widespread use of adaptive radiation therapy. The partners think advanced imaging and ...

New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health’s Greenlawn and Lake Success radiation therapy centers are among the first in their area to offer adaptive radiation therapy. Varian Ethos radiation therapy ...

Overcoming the obstacles: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART), especially online ART, effectively accounts for positioning errors and anatomical changes during radiation treatments. A new deep-learning model ...

A study co-led by researchers at Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, has found that ablative stereotactic magnetic resonance (MR)-guided adaptive radiation therapy may ...

In January, Cleveland-based University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center became one of the first facilities in the U.S. to offer adaptive radiotherapy. At the time, Daniel Spratt, MD, chair of radiation ...

Using host-specific parasites isolated on individual pigeon 'islands,' the scientists showed that descendants of a single population of feather lice adapted rapidly in response to preening. They found ...

Rapid adaptive radiation poses two distinct questions apart from speciation and adaptation: What happens after one speciation event and how do some lineages continue speciating through a rapid burst?

Understanding why some evolutionary lineages generate exceptionally high species diversity is an important goal in evolutionary biology. Haplochromine cichlid fishes of Africa’s Lake Victoria region ...
