Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are increasingly used to treat brain metastases, however there is a paucity of prospective data on the effectiveness of these treatments in terms of cancer control.
Data from patients treated with SRS for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma brain metastases at a single facility from May 2008 to January 2017 were retrospectively examined. The impact of concurrent ICI within 30, 60, or 90 days of ICI administration on local control and remote in-brain control is examined using a parametric proportional hazard model. The regression model takes into account other patient and lesion characteristics as covariates and makes adjustments.

A. That’s true
Because the matter of biology is about everything that alive and human alive too so if we learn biology that will help us to know more about our bodies
1. What is the relationship between chromosomes and DNA? The chromosome is a molecule formed by a chain of DNA associated with proteins. Together, they form a group of molecules directly responsible for heredity.
2. What is heredity? It is the biological process where the genes present in a DNA are transmitted by parents to their children, through the division of gametes. These genes carry the codes that form the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, which allows a similarity between parents and children to occur.
3. What is the role of proteins associated with the DNA molecule that makes up the gene? Proteins are responsible for keeping the DNA line tightly compressed, maintaining the chromosome structure. In addition, they control the activities of the genes present in this DNA molecule, being essential in maintaining heredity.
4. How do chromosomes participate in gene transmission? As mentioned above, genes are part of DNA and DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, in this case, chromosomes are molecules loaded with genes. In the human body, cells have 46 pairs of chromosomes, with the exception of gametes that have half that number. During the reproductive process, the gametes (reproductive cells) divide and produce a new being. The mother's gametes unite with the father's gametes to form a new being. Each gamete has 23 chromosomes, which contain the genes responsible for transmitting the characteristics.
<span>The statement is true. Carbon dioxide above normal will increase plant growth provided all other conditions are suitable. Plants needs carbon dioxide to carry out the process of photosynthesis. When carbond dioxide is available in excess, plants tend to increase their rate of photosynthesis.</span>
