2. 1. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy

   Author : Niclas Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypofractionation; normal tissue complication probability; modelling; linear-quadratic model; fractionation sensitivity; late toxicity; radiation-induced rib fracture; genitourinary toxicity; stereotactic body radiation therapy; high-dose-rate brachytherapy; multimodality radiation therapy; patient-reported outcomes; prostate cancer; nsclc;

   Abstract : In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions with low doses per fraction. READ MORE

4. 2. Stereotactic body radiation therapy of primary lung cancer and metastases

   Author : Karin Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been assessed by both retrospective and prospective studies showing excellent treatment outcome with acceptable toxicity and high grade of local control. However, late presenting effects as well as further evaluating toxic effects in relation to dose-volume parameters at high-fraction doses and clinical characteristics is of the utmost importance in order to further develop the clinical application of this method.

5. 3. lntrafractional motion effects during stereotactic body radiation therapy of lung tumors

   Author : Sebastian Sarudis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Motion effects; Interplay; SBRT; SGRT; Lung tumors; VMAT; CA;

   Abstract : Abstract: Patient shifts and tumor motions occurring during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) have been analyzed to determine the related effects on the delivered dose. Methods: 4-dimensional computed tomography series were retrospectively reviewed to characterize respiratory-induced lung tumor motions in 126 patients. READ MORE

6. 4. Stereotactic body radiation therapy of lung tumours : clinical and dosimetric aspects

   Author : Kristin Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to increase the knowledge regarding some clinical and methodological aspects, relevant in view of toxicity as well as tumour control, in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of lung tumours. In the first two studies, reirradiation and radiation-induced atelectasis were studied. READ MORE

7. 5. Treatment selection in metastatic renal cell carcinoma : Towards an individualised approach

   Author : Maria Stenman; Magnus Lindskog; Ulrika Harmenberg; Tim Eisen; Uppsala universitet; []
