  1. 1. Toxicity of Pulsed Beams in Radiation Therapy from a Physio-Chemical Perspective

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Författare :Karin Källén; [2021]
    Nyckelord :FLASH; radiotherapy; ultra high; dose rates; radiolysis; cancer; medical; FLASH; strålbehandling; ultrahög; doshastighet; radiolys; cancer; medicinsk;

    Sammanfattning : A significant portion of cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their curative or palliative treatment plan. Radiotherapy is however greatly limited by radiation induced toxicities in healthy tissue surrounding the tumour, which can lead to long-term or acute complications for a patient. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Predicting toxicity caused by high-dose-ratebrachytherapy boost for prostate cancer

    Master-uppsats, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Författare :Dalia Estefan; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Prostate cancer; Radiation induced toxicity; Predictive model; Combination therapy; High-dose-rate brachytherapy boost;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction Treating localized prostate cancer with combination radiotherapy consisting ofexternal beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) has beenproven to result in better disease outcome than EBRT only. There is, however, a decreasingtrend in utilization of combination therapy, partially due to concerns for elevated toxicityrisks. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effects of acetylation and deacetylation inhibitors on DNA double strand breaks repair and cell survival

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Författare :Eugenia Kalliontzi; [2018]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : During treatment with ionizing radiation (IR), cells are killed mainly due to ionizing radiation caused acute damage to DNA, such as double-strand breaks, where opposite DNA strands in close proximity are cut. To counteract toxicity of double-strand breaks, cells have evolved DNA damage repair systems such as homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dose-Volume Histogram Analysis of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy of Liver Tumours

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Medicinsk strålningsfysik (tills m KI)

    Författare :Eva Rutkowska; [2006]
    Nyckelord :Liver tumour; Stereotactic radiation therapy; retrospective study;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a relatively new method which has been employed e.g. in the treatment of liver tumours. Little dosimetric data has been published for SBRT in the liver. LÄS MER
