Prediction of Breathing Patterns Using Neural Networks
During the radio therapy treatment, it has been difficult to synchronize the radiation beam with the tumor position. Many compensation techniques have been used before. But all these techniques have some system latency, up to a few hundred milliseconds. Hence it is necessary to predict tumor …

Mathematical Models of Prevascular Tumor Growth by Diffusion
… offer possibilities for optimization of cancer therapy (e.g. chemo- or radio-therapy).</p>

Functional imaging of cancer using Optoacoustic Tomography
… has been linked with resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy and poor patient outcomes. Measuring the functional status of the tumour vasculature, including blood flow fluctuations and changes in oxygenation is important in cancer staging and therapy monitoring. A robust method is needed for …

Klonering en uitdrukking van die mensgeen vir interleukin-3 (IL-3)
… successful in the treatment of chemo- and radio-therapy induced secondary hematopo"ietic failure. The genes for GMCSF, G-CSF and IL-5 have already been successful cloned and expressed in our laboratory. As IL-3 has great therapeutic potential and because of the dependance of the above …

Glioma: A Tale of Corticosteroids, Thiopurines and Proposed Novel AntiGlioma Small Molecules
… increases tumor resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy. Corticosteroids are mainstay drugs for managing peritumoral edema. Therefore, we investigated the effect of corticosteroids in a PDGF driven glioma mouse model. We found that corticosteroid treatment decreases tumor cell proliferation …

Roles of Nanog, a transcription factor for self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, in prostate tumor initiation and chemoresistance
… tumor initiation of prostate cancer cells. Chemotherapy is the major salvage therapeutic modality available for the patients with advanced cancers. However, drug resistance by some prostate cancer cells is a major barrier to efficacious chemotherapy. It has been increasingly appreciated that …
