N. Sinha,G Cifter,G Cifter,Erno Sajo,Rajiv Kumar,Rajiv Kumar,Srinivas Sridhar,Srinivas Sridhar,Paul L. Nguyen,Robert A. Cormack,G. Mike Makrigiorgos,Wilfred Ngwa,Wilfred Ngwa +12 more
TL;DR: This in silico study investigated the intratumor biodistribution and corresponding dose enhancement over time due to GNP released from such GNP-loaded brachytherapy spacers (GBS) and found that using Cs-131 provides the highest dose enhancement to tumor voxels.

TL;DR: It is predicted that by using United States Food and Drug Administration approved concentrations of cisplatin, major radiosensitization may be achieved via photoelectric mechanism during concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and that radiotherapy dose to cancer cells may be enhanced via this mechanism by over 100% during CCRT.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method of enhancing dose locally by administrating nanoparticles of carboplatin (CaNPs) and oxaliplatin (ONPs) as adjuvants to brachytherapy and external beam therapy (EBRT) was proposed.

MO-FG-BRA-04: Leveraging the Abscopal Effect Via New Design Radiotherapy Biomaterials Loaded with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Yao Hao,G Cifter,Y Altundal,Neeharika Sinha,Michele Moreau,Erno Sajo,G Makrigiorgos,Wilfred Ngwa +7 more
TL;DR: The in -vitro study results showed that RT biomaterials could be designed to achieve burst release of nanoparticles within one day, and provide impetus for more studies to leverage the powerful abscopal effect, while minimizing systemic toxicities through the new approach.
