Cesium-137

06/15/1993 - "Fifteen consecutive cervix cancer patients who were treated with combined external beam and brachytherapy (Fletcher-Suit-Delclos applicator), agreed to have orthogonal pelvic radiographs prior to after-loading and following removal of Cesium-137 sources. "
03/01/1986 - "Treatment results and side effects were analyzed for 57 patients with stage IB-IIIA cancer of the uterine cervix who received external beam radiotherapy combined with intracavitary insertion of cesium-137 sources. "
06/01/1988 - "Efficacy of brachytherapy with californium-252 neutrons versus cesium-137 photons for eradication of bulky localized cervical cancer: single-institution study."

06/13/2011 - "In vivo studies showed that G-CSFa significantly increased the number of peripheral blood leukocytes in cesium-137 irradiated mice or monkeys with neutropenia after administration of cyclophosphamide. "

02/01/1994 - "In vitro studies using LS174T human colon cancer cells showed that exposure to 1 microM bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd), a thymidine-analog radiation sensitizer, at a plasma concentration easily achievable through systemic administration in both animals and patients, increased the cytotoxicity of continuous low dose-rate irradiation delivered by a cesium-137 irradiator (at 12 cGy/h which resembles the dose-rate delivered by radiolabeled MoAb therapy). "

10/03/2022 - "Tumor pO2 was measured in vivo using low-frequency EPR oximetry to define the optimal window of reoxygenation, the time at which tumors were irradiated with a single 6 Gy dose with a Cesium-137 irradiator. "
01/01/2018 - "HaCaT cells - a non-cancerous skin cell line together with HepG2, Caco2, A549, and OECM cancer cell lines - were pre-treated with RCE for 24[Formula: see text]h followed by exposure to 15 Gy using Caesium-137 as a γ-ray source. "
11/01/2009 - "On the basis of I-131 and Cs-137 radioisotope doses to which populations were exposed and a comparison of cancer mortality in the heavily and the less contaminated territories and pre- and post-Chernobyl cancer levels, a more realistic figure is 212,000 to 245,000 deaths in Europe and 19,000 in the rest of the world. "
12/01/2004 - "A cohort study was focused on the fallout of caesium-137 in relation to cancer incidence 1988-1996. "
01/01/1996 - "[Optimization of dose distribution in combined irradiation of uterine cervix cancer with gamma-ray cesium-137 and X-9 MeV]."

01/01/2002 - "Cesium-137 needle brachytherapy boosts after external beam irradiation for locally advanced carcinoma of the tongue and floor of the mouth."
01/01/1994 - "Cesium-137 brachytherapy for epithelioma of the skin of the nose: experience with 370 patients."
11/01/1989 - "From September 1972 to September 1987, thirty-six patients with stage II carcinoma of the endometrium were treated with external-beam radiotherapy to the pelvis, a single intracavitary application of cesium-137, and extrafascial hysterectomy with adnexectomy. "
03/10/1984 - "Ninety-two consecutive patients with stages IB and IIA carcinoma of the cervix were treated by one of two regimens: pre-operative intracavitary caesium-137 followed by a Wertheim hysterectomy (group 1) or staging laparotomy with biopsy of suspicious lymph nodes (group 2) (if there was no evidence of tumour on examination of a frozen section of the lymph nodes a Wertheim hysterectomy was performed, but if a tumour was present the abdomen was closed and a course of radical irradiation given). "
01/01/2021 - "Treatment of normal NFF28 primary fibroblasts and U2OS osteosarcoma, A549 lung carcinoma, and U87MG glioma cells with 5-10 µM HDACi concentrations 18 h prior to cesium-137 gamma irradiation resulted in radiosensitization measured by clonogenic survival assays and increased levels of colocalized gamma-H2AX/53BP1 foci induction.
