  2. 1. Treatment selection in metastatic renal cell carcinoma : Towards an individualised approach

    Author : Maria Stenman; Magnus Lindskog; Ulrika Harmenberg; Tim Eisen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rcc; renal cell carcinoma; kidney cancer; stereotactic radiotherapy; srt; stereotactic body radiotherapy; sbrt; gamma knife radiosurgery; gkrs; stereotactic radiosurgery; srs; radiotherapy; overall survival; prognostic factor; papillary; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a common malignancy worldwide, affects 1200 new patients yearly in Sweden. Metastatic RCC (mRCC) develops in one in three and is commonly incurable. Clear cell histology dominates followed by papillary histology. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stereotactic body radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

    Author : Pia Baumann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Stereotactic body radiotherapy; non-small cell lung cancer; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cardiovascular disease; normal tissue complication probability; pneumonitis; local tumour control; overall survival;

    Abstract : Patients with stage I non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are potentially curable. Eradication of the primary tumour is a prerequisite for cure with surgery as standard treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Motion management optimization in radiotherapy : From the most common to the most uncommon patient

    Author : Annika Mannerberg; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiotherapy; Motion management; SGRT; SGRT; Motion management; Radiotherapy; Fysicumarkivet A:2023:Mannerberg;

    Abstract : In radiotherapy (RT), the treatment is thoroughly planned and optimized to fulfil the goal of delivering a high dose to the target, while sparing as much normal tissue as possible. This implies that the patient position and anatomy should be the same as they were during the planning image acquisition. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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.

  7. 5. 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
