  2. 16. The Importance of Dosimetry and Radiobiology in Nuclear Medicine : Quantitative methods and modelling

    Author : Anna Stenvall; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nuclear medicine; radionuclide therapy; radiopharmaceutical therapy; dosimetry; Monte Carlo modelling; radiobiology; ; γH2AX; DOTA-TATE; PET; SPECT;

    Abstract : Nuclear medicine uses radioactive pharmaceuticals for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The ionizing radiation emitted from the radiopharmaceutical is partially absorbed within the patient's body and internal dosimetry is the method to estimate the absorbed dose to a tumour or risk organ.

  4. 17. Diagnosis and Radioimmunotherapy of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

    Author : Tomas Ekberg; Matti Anniko; Jörgen Carlsson; Eva Munck-Wikland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Otorhinolaryngology; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; tumor targeting; radionuclide targeting; PET; therapy; diagnistics; antibodies; Otorhinolaryngologi;

    Abstract : The diagnosis and treatment of patients with advanced tumors in the head and neck is an interesting challenge where there is a need for new approaches in diagnostics and adjuvant treatment. Differences in antigen expression between tumors and normal tissues provide a means for application of antibody-based targeting techniques. READ MORE

  5. 18. Förbättrad radionuklidterapi av neuroblastom

    Author : Arman Romiani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radionuclide therapy; Neuroblastoma; Somatostatin analog; 177Lu-octreotate; 177Lu-octreotide; Lorlatinib; Combination therapy; Radiosensitizer;

    Abstract : Today, about half of the children diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) survive due to considerable treatment improvements during the last decades. However, there is still much to be done for the other half who are not cured with current treatments. READ MORE

  6. 19. Dosimetry of Radionuclide Therapy with 177Lu-octreotate

    Author : Mattias Sandström; Hans Lundqvist; Mark Lubberink; Sven-Erik Strand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 177Lu-octreotate; Absorbed dose; Neuroendocrine tumour; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    Abstract : In radionuclide therapy it is still common to administer standard activities or to scale administered activity with blunt parameters such as body weight or surface area. This is not ideal because, due to considerable variation in kinetics, large safety margins have to be applied to avoid radiation damage to healthy organs, which causes under-treatment of many patients.

  7. 20. Avidity-guided radionuclide therapy for thyroid cancer

    Author : Joachim Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer has three main modalities: surgery, hormone suppression and radioiodine therapy. Effective radioiodine therapy requires cancer cells to be iodine avid, i.e. exhibit relatively functional iodine transport and retention. READ MORE
