Angiosarcoma is a rare and highly malignant tumor with potential to recur despite treatment, and carries a poor prognosis. Previous radiation therapy and lymphedema are some of the known risk factors. We present a case of cutaneous angiosarcoma which occurred at lumpectomy site in a patient with a history of breast cancer and radiation to the breast. The tumor kept on recurring repetitively des...

background: to evaluate the radioprotective potential of punica granatum fruit rind extract (pgre) in mouse testes. materials and methods: adult male mice were divided into four groups. group i was kept without any treatment. group ii was irradiated with 8gy co60 gamma irradiation and group iii was given pgre one hour before irradiation. group iv was fed with pgre at the rate of 10 mg/kg body w...

The effects of irradiation on different cell compartments in the submandibular gland were analyzed in adult C57BL/6 mice exposed to X-ray irradiation and followed up for 10 days. Apoptosis was quantified using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling method (TUNEL). Cell proliferation was detected using immunohistochemistry for proliferating ce...

in order to improve the performance of a newly developed radiochromic film, gic-79, somedosimetric characteristics of this film have been studied based on relevant standard practice. the presentstudy describes some parameters that may affect the dosimeter response before, during, and after irradiation. the effect of absorbed dose rate on dosimeter response was determined by irradiating dosimete...
