LIVER RESEARCH PROJECT
In collaboration with Dr. Seza Gulec of the Cancer Care Center of Goshen General Hospital students at Goshen College have been examining samples from liver resection operations. Patients with inoperable liver cancer received Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) followed later by removal of the areas containing the treated tumor residue. Selected samples of the liver tissue surrounding the treated tumor areas were prepared for electron microscopy to assess the untrastructural damage. The reports of Maple Scholars who worked with Dr. Stan Grove on this project are linked below.
