Involvement of Ocular Surface in Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease: A Review

Involvement of Ocular Surface in Graft-Versus-Host Disease: A Review Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a promising curative therapy for hematologic malignancies and other disorders of blood and bone marrow. Historically, HSCT was referred to as bone marrow transplantation (BMT) because bone marrow was the sole source of transplanted hematopoietic stem

Risk Factors for Ocular Metastases in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

Risk Factors for Ocular Metastases in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), also known as infiltrating ductal carcinoma, is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for about 72% of all cases. IDC can occur at any age, but many people are over the age of 55 at the

Genetic Mutations for Predicting Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Susceptibility

Genetic Mutations for Predicting Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Susceptibility Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the deadliest malignancy representing about 90% of all pancreatic cancers. PDAC progresses asymptomatically until death and is refractory to most treatment methods. Surgery is the most effective treatment. Nevertheless, it is well known that only 15-20% of PDAC

3D MRI FOR NON-INVASIVE OCULAR PROTON THERAPY

3D MRI in Non-Invasive Proton Therapy Treatment Planning of Uveal Melanomas Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare subset of melanoma, but is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults. In 85% of cases, melanocytes in the choroid are affected. UM can occasionally arise from the ciliary body or iris. With
