Enzychem Lifesciences Signs MOU with Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences to Jointly Develop Radiation-Induced Dermatitis Treatment
Enzychem Lifesciences announced on August 4 that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences (KIRAMS) for joint research on a treatment for radiation-induced dermatitis. Based on their respective research capabilities and expertise, the two parties will explore the feasibility of developing a treatment for radiation-induced dermatitis and advance joint new drug research. Radiation-induced dermatitis is one of the most common treatment-related side effects in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, manifesting as skin erythema, pain, itching, and peeling. In severe cases, it can delay or interrupt radiotherapy schedules, not only reducing patients' quality of life but also negatively affecting the treatment process. The treatment has recently...

Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in South Korea Validates Precision of New-Generation Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy System
The research team from the Department of Radiation Oncology at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in South Korea announced on July 31 that they have completed validation of the geometric accuracy and respiratory tracking performance of a new-generation surface-guided radiation therapy system. The research findings have been published in the latest issue of the international academic journal *Radiation Physics and Chemistry*. In breast cancer radiotherapy, the deep inspiration breath-hold technique is commonly used in clinical practice to reduce radiation exposure to the heart and lungs. Traditional procedures typically require tattoo marks or drawn guide lines on the patient's skin surface, along with wearing sensors to monitor respiratory motion, which somewhat compromises treatment convenience and patient comfort. The new-generation surface-guided radiation therapy system validated in this study utilizes 3D stereoscopic cameras and thermal imaging technology...
