For lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery, radiotherapy is the primary treatment option. However, it is associated with a range of side effects, including fatigue and inflammation of the esophagus and lungs. Current methods to record lung-cancer treatment-related toxicities rely on assessment by healthcare professionals. Now a team from The University of Manchester and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust — both part of the Manchester Cancer Research Center — has explored the use of patient-reported outcomes to improve the recording of side effects for lung cancer patients.
Scientists at the Riken Center for Life Science Technologies, along with researchers from the AIST Human Technology Research Institute in Japan, have identified a time-dependent interplay between two brain regions that contributes to the recovery of motor function after focal brain damage, such as a stroke.
