Acute radiotherapy-associated oral pain may promote tumor growth at distant sites

FRONTIERS IN ONCOLOGY, 13.

By: C. Meneses n, E. Gidcumb  n, K. Marcus n, Y. Gonzalez n, Y. Lai n , S. Mishra n, B. Lascelles  n, M. Nolan n 

author keywords: pain; radiotherapy; sensory nerves; cancer; mouse; TRPV1
TL;DR: This research points towards radiation-induced activation of capsaicin-responsive (TRPV1) neurons as the cause for accelerated growth of tumors at distant (unirradiated) sites. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

Stereotactic radiotherapy (10 Gy X 3) for canine nonlymphomatous intranasal tumors is associated with prolonged survival and minimal risk of severe radiotoxicity

JAVMA-JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 260(12), 1496–1506.

By: M. Nolan n , A. Berman  n, M. Watson-Skaggs n, C. Quinn n, K. Marcus n, K. Russell n, H. Yoshikawa n, N. Olby n , T. Gieger n 

MeSH headings : Dogs; Animals; Retrospective Studies; Dog Diseases / surgery; Quality of Life; Radiosurgery / methods; Radiosurgery / veterinary; Chondrosarcoma / veterinary; Bone Neoplasms / veterinary; Death; Treatment Outcome
TL;DR: Oncologic outcomes following administration of a uniform stereotactic radiotherapy protocol for canine intranasal tumors are described and any clinical or dosimetric factors were predictive of event-free or overall survival time (EFST or OST) are identified. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 journal article

Early radiation‐induced oral pain signaling responses are reduced with pentoxifylline treatment

Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound, 62(2), 255–263.

By: M. Price n, Y. Lai n , K. Marcus n, J. Robertson n , B. Lascelles  n & M. Nolan n 

author keywords: glossitis; mucositis; TNF‐ α TRPV1; TRPV4
MeSH headings : Animals; Capsaicin / pharmacology; Histamine / pharmacology; Mice; Pain / prevention & control; Pain / veterinary; Pentoxifylline / therapeutic use; Pilot Projects; Prospective Studies; Radiation-Protective Agents / therapeutic use; Radiotherapy / adverse effects; Sensory System Agents / pharmacology; Signal Transduction / drug effects; Stomatitis / complications; Stomatitis / drug therapy; Stomatitis / etiology; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha / analysis; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha / metabolism
TL;DR: Although PTX treatment did not reduce glossitis severity or mitigate weight loss in mice with RIM/RAP, it did inhibit the upregulation of TNF-α's receptor that normally accompanies RIM, and it also reduced neuronal responsiveness to each of the aforementioned chemical stimuli.
