Development of methods to assess the predictive power of pre-therapy imaging for selective internal radiation therapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-12-31)
Pre-therapy Technetium-99m (99mTc)-MAA SPECT may be used to predict the 90Y absorbed dose in selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), while post-therapy 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT may be used to measure the delivered ...
Towards Real Time Radiotherapy Simulation
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-27)
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-01)
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ...
Estimating brain volume loss after radiation therapy in children treated for posterior fossa tumors (Corpus callosum and whole brain volume changes following radiotherapy in children).
(WROCLAW MEDICAL UNIV, 2020-03-01)
BACKGROUND: More than half of pediatric tumors of central nervous system (CNS) primarily originate in the posterior fossa and are conventionally treated with radiation therapy (RT). OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study ...
Alanine dosimetry in strong magnetic fields: use as a transfer standard in MRI-guided radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-06-03)
Reference dosimetry in the presence of a strong magnetic field is challenging. Ionisation chambers have shown to be strongly affected by magnetic fields. There is a need for robust and stable detectors in MRI-guided ...
A treatment planning study of combined carbon ion-beam plus photon intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Combined photon intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and sequential dose-escalated carbon ion beam therapy (IBT) is a technically advanced treatment option for head and neck malignancies. We ...
A rapid review of evidence and recommendations from the SIOPE radiation oncology working group to help mitigate for reduced paediatric radiotherapy capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic or other crises.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: To derive evidence-based recommendations for the optimal utilisation of resources during unexpected shortage of radiotherapy capacity. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We have undertaken a rapid review of published ...
