Radiobiological modeling of radiation-induced acute mucosal toxicity (oral mucositis and pharyngeal mucositis): A single-institutional study of head-and-neck carcinoma
Conclusion: This study presents the fitting parameters for NTCP calculation of Grade 1 and Grade 2 ARI toxicity for the endpoint of oral and pharyngeal mucositis. The provided nomograms of volume versus complication and dose versus complication for different grades of oral mucositis and pharyngeal mucositis help radiation oncologists to decide the limiting dose to reduce the acute toxicities.

Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio are correlated with tumor & #8211;node & #8211;metastasis stages in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Conclusion: The levels of preoperative NLR and PLR were capable of indicating advanced TNM stages. According to the CNP index, patients were divided into three risk groups with different significance. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics)

Protective effect of pycnogenol against gamma radiation-induced lung injury in rat: DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant levels, and histopathological changes
Conclusion: We demonstrate that 300 mg/kg of pycnogenol might provide significant protection against deleterious effects from whole-body ionizing radiation on the lung tissue. P300+ γ-ray group was significantly reduced radiation-induced lung injury and was possible to observe significantly preservation. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics)

BV6 enhances apoptosis in Lung cancer cells by ameliorating caspase expressions through attenuation of XIAP, cIAP-1, and cIAP-2 proteins
Conclusions: The result showed that BV6 treatment reduced the level of mRNA of XIAP, cIAP-1, and cIAP-2 and increased the gene expression of caspase-6 and caspase-7 in NCI-H23 cell line. Therefore, the study revealed that BV6 could be used in future as additional therapeutics in lung cancer. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics)

Correlation of digital rectal examination and serum prostate-specific antigen levels for detection of prostate cancer: Retrospective analysis results from a tertiary care urology center
Conclusion: Suspicious DRE was significantly associated with detection of prostate cancer across all PSA levels. Patients with PSA <4 can harbor prostate malignancy and such cases can be detected by use of DRE in screening of all patients with LUTS. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics)

Malignant transformation in low-grade astrocytoma for long-term monitoring
Conclusion: In individuals with LGA, MT dramatically altered the disease's natural history to a poor prognosis. The present study's analysis of the clinical features of patients indicated supratentorial LGA, a midline shift greater than 5 mm, and the degree of resection as risk factors for MT. The more extensive the resection, the greater the reduction in tumor load and MT. In addition, more molecular study is necessary to elucidate the pathophysiology of MT.
