  2. 1. Verification of dose calculations in radiotherapy

    Author : Tufve Nyholm; Mikael Karlsson; Ben Mijnheer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiotherapy; dose calculation; quality control; pencil kernel; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

    Abstract : External radiotherapy is a common treatment technique for cancer. It has been shown that radiation therapy is a both clinically and economically effective treatment for many types of cancer, even though the equipment is expensive. The technology is in constant evolution and more and more sophisticated and complex techniques are introduced. READ MORE

  6. 4. Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions

    Author : Roger Tell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; normal tissue; thyroid; cell cycle; lung injury;

    Abstract : There is a range in the severity of normal tissue reactions observed when cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT). The limits of dosage in RT have empirically been set by doses that have caused severe reactions in the most sensitive patients. The understanding of factors governing variations of radiosensitivity is therefore very important in RT. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hormones, muscles and oncological outcome in men with rectal cancer

    Author : John Tapper; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Paper I. The aim was to elucidate if testosterone (T) dose-dependently increase muscle size in abdomen and pelvis, analogous to the known anabolic influence on appendicular muscles. Participants were young (age 18-50) healthy men participating in the 5a-reductase trail, a double blinded RCT. READ MORE
