2. 31. Towards eliminating pelvic bone pain after radiation therapy among long-term gynecological cancer survivors

   Author : Ann-Charlotte Waldenström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pelvic radiotherapy; gynecological cancer; pelvic bone pain; dose-volume response;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate the prevalence of self-reported symptoms after pelvic radiation therapy among long-term gynecological cancer survivors, with special focus on pelvic bone pain, how it affects the daily life of the women and the relationship to absorbed doses. Methods: In an unselected, population-based study, gynecological cancer survivors from the Gothenburg and Stockholm regions, treated with pelvic radiation therapy between 1991 and 2003, were compared with a non-radiation-treated control population.

5. 33. RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY & EXTRACORPOREAL ADSORPTION Preclinical Studies of the Pharmacokinetics & Biotinylation of Radioimmunoconjugates in Immunocompetent Rats

   Author : Zhongmin Wang; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; cancer; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; Cytology; extracorporeal adsorption; tri-functional chelator; maximal tolerable dose; biotin; intraperitoneal administration; biodistribution; pharmacokinetics; biotinylation; radiolabeling; rat; monoclonal antibody; radionuclide;

   Abstract : Extracorporeal adsorption (ECAT) is a novel strategy to reduce activity in whole body (WB), blood and radiosensitive organs by removing the excess of radiolabeled and biotinylated monoclonal antibody (MAb) from blood so that tumor/normal tissue ratio (T/N) could be improved. By increasing T/N, higher amounts of radiolabeled MAb might be administered, making it possible to treat disseminated carcinomas. READ MORE

6. 34. Radiation dose and x-ray beam modelling in diagnostic and interventional radiology using Monte Carlo methods

   Author : Artur Omar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Although medical imaging is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, the radiation dose from x-ray examinations is one of the largest contributors to the exposure of the world’s population. It is therefore the responsibility of healthcare professionals to ensure that examinations are justified (a net benefit) and optimized (as low dose as reasonably achievable). READ MORE
