Physical Therapy Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Cancer: Collating the Evidence from Research and Clinical Practice
DownloadSpring 2018
Purpose: Children and adolescents with cancer who undergo cancer treatment are at high risk of developing serious late and long-term physical effects, many of which may be amenable to physical therapy (PT). Little is known about the benefits of PT or the services currently provided to address...

Preliminary validation of a computer-based approach to find new lead molecules targeting the oncogenic Forkhead box M1 transcription factor
DownloadFall 2017
The upregulation of the forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) transcription factor is directly correlated with cancer initiation, invasion, and drug resistance. Because the overexpression of FOXM1 is considered an important factor in carcinogenesis, this protein could be a relevant drug target in cancer...

Regulation of Anti-tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Interaction of Exosome Immune Complexes with Fc gamma Receptors
DownloadSpring 2019
Targeted therapy is difficult for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to lack of conserved tumor associated antigens (TAA). Immunotherapies for CRC directed at TAA that can overcome intestinal tolerance need to be developed to improve survival of CRC patients. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted...

Repositioning study of flubendazole for treating lung cancer and meningoencephalitis using an oral lipid nanosystem
DownloadFall 2023
Nanoemulsions have wide application, presenting several properties such as the solubilization of poorly soluble drugs in water, promoting the increase of their bioavailability, allowing greater stability of the formulation and, due to its property as a carrier, promoting their modified release....

Spectral Editing for Detection of Oncologically Relevant Metabolites with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 9.4 T
DownloadFall 2019
Short echo time (TE) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques with spectral fitting are commonly employed approaches for brain metabolite quantification at 9.4 T. However, there is a significant overlap of peaks in short-TE spectra, even at 9.4 T. To better resolve resonances, spectral...

Survival Benefit of Chemotherapy in Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Treated with Surgery and Post-Operative Radiation
DownloadFall 2017
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is the third most common cancer of the head and neck. The incidence of all subtypes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has decreased over the past 30 years in Canada and most of the world except for OPSCC. The increasing incidence of OPSCC over...

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Radiolabelled Substrates for Imaging of GLUT5 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Using Positron Emission Tomography
DownloadFall 2012
Overactive glucose transport and metabolism has been widely recognized as one of the fundamental hallmarks of cancer and its progression. The facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1 is widely overexpressed in many tumor types compared to their untransformed counterparts. Due to this, the glucose...

Spring 2018
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most prevalent cancer worldwide with rates of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) dramatically increasing. The overexpression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase...

The effect of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic fatty acids on body composition and response to chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer
DownloadFall 2011
Patients with lung cancer are at high risk for malnutrition and even mild weight loss has been associated with decreased median survival and poor response to chemotherapy. The purpose of this research was to describe fatty acids status during chemotherapy and determine if supplementation with...

The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Virtually-Supported Home Exercise Program for People with Multiple Myeloma
DownloadFall 2021
Introduction: Exercise could help alleviate the significant morbidity experienced by people with multiple myeloma (MM). It is unclear if current cancer-specific exercise guidelines are appropriate for this unique population. Supervision, tailoring, and flexibility are proposed as key program...
