  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. Hypofractionated conformal stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of AVMs and cerebral metastases

    Author : Peter Lindvall; Hans Bolander; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : arteriovenous malformations; brain metastases; hypofractionation; stereotactic radiotherapy; LINAC; embolisation; Clinical Neurophysiology; klinisk neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Hypofractionated conformal stereotactic radiotherapy (HCSRT) has been used for the treatment of AVMs at the Umeå University Hospital since 1986. From this year and onwards an increasing number of patients with single or oligo brain metastases have also been treated using this technique. READ MORE

  5. 3. Time, dose and fractionation: accounting for hypoxia in the search for optimal radiotherapy treatment parameters

    Author : Emely Kjellsson Lindblom; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Peter Wersäll; David J Carlson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypoxia; radiobiological modelling; radiotherapy; functional imaging; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : The search for the optimal choice of treatment time, dose and fractionation regimen is one of the major challenges in radiation therapy. Several aspects of the radiation response of tumours and normal tissues give different indications of how the parameters defining a fractionation schedule should be altered relative to each other which often results in contradictory conclusions.

  6. 4. Searching for the optimal radiotherapy treatment time, dose and fractionation - the role of hypoxia and reoxygenation : A modelling study

    Author : Emely Lindblom; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Ingmar Lax; Ludvig Paul Muren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypoxia; Reoxygenation; SBRT; Fractionation; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : The search for the optimal choice of treatment time, dose and fractionation regimen is one of the major challenges in radiation therapy. Several aspects of the radiation response of tumours and normal tissues give different indications of how the parameters defining a fractionation schedule should be altered relative to each other which often results in contradictory conclusions.

  7. 5. Optimising External Beam Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer. Advances in Treatment Planning

    Author : Vilberg Jóhannesson; Systemisk strålterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : BackgroundRadiotherapy (RT) is an effective treatment option for prostate cancer (PCa). The evolution of new treatment planning techniques, advanced imaging and accelerator design has enabled precise treatment delivery. READ MORE
