Influence of daily imaging on plan quality and normal tissue toxicity for prostate cancer radiotherapyRadiation Oncology - Tập 12 - Trang 1-11 - 2017

Modern radiotherapy offers various possibilities for image guided verification of patient positioning. Different clinically relevant IGRT (image guided radiotherapy) scenarios were considered with regard to their influence on dosimetric plan quality and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). This study is based on treatment plans of 50 prostate patients. We evaluate the clinically performe...... hiện toàn bộ
Intrafractional dose variation and beam configuration in carbon ion radiotherapy for esophageal cancerRadiation Oncology - Tập 11 - Trang 1-9 - 2016

In carbon ion radiotherapy (CIR) for esophageal cancer, organ and target motion is a major challenge for treatment planning due to potential range deviations. This study intends to analyze the impact of intrafractional variations on dosimetric parameters and to identify favourable settings for robust treatment plans. We contoured esophageal boost volumes in different organ localizations for four p...... hiện toàn bộ
A treatment planning study of proton arc therapy for para-aortic lymph node tumors: dosimetric evaluation of conventional proton therapy, proton arc therapy, and intensity modulated radiotherapyRadiation Oncology - Tập 11 - Trang 1-10 - 2016

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dosimetric benefits of a proton arc technique for treating tumors of the para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN). In nine patients, a proton arc therapy (PAT) technique was compared with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy (PBT) techniques with respect to the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OAR). PTV coverage, co...... hiện toàn bộ
mARC vs. IMRT radiotherapy of the prostate with flat and flattening-filter-free beam energiesRadiation Oncology - Tập 9 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
Yvonne Dzierma, Katharina Bell, Jan Palm, Frank Nuesken, Norbert Licht, Christian Rübe
There as yet exists no systematic planning study investigating the novel mARC rotational radiotherapy technique, which is conceptually different from VMAT. We therefore present a planning study for prostate cancer, comparing mARC with IMRT treatment at the same linear accelerator equipped with flat and flattening-filter-free (FFF) photon energies. We retrospectively re-contoured and re-planned tre...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparisons of different neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens with or without stereotactic body radiation therapy for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer: study protocol of a prospective, randomized phase II trial (BRPCNCC-1)Radiation Oncology - Tập 14 - Trang 1-8 - 2019

Few patients with pancreatic cancer may be candidates for immediate surgical resection at the initial diagnosis. Even if patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC), micrometastases may occur before surgery. Therefore, neoadjuvant therapy is vital for improved survival, which has been confirmed in previous studies that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy provides...... hiện toàn bộ
Regression models for predicting physical and EQD2 plan parameters of two methods of hybrid planning for stage III NSCLCRadiation Oncology - Tập 16 - Trang 1-13 - 2021

To establish regression models of physical and equivalent dose in 2 Gy per fraction (EQD2) plan parameters of two kinds of hybrid planning for stage III NSCLC. Two kinds of hybrid plans named conventional fraction radiotherapy & stereotactic body radiotherapy (C&S) and conventional fraction radiotherapy & simultaneous integrated boost (C&SIB) were retrospectively made for 20 patients with stage II...... hiện toàn bộ
Modern radiation therapy and potential fertility preservation strategies in patients with cervical cancer undergoing chemoradiationRadiation Oncology - Tập 10 - Trang 1-6 - 2015
Pirus Ghadjar, Volker Budach, Christhardt Köhler, Andreas Jantke, Simone Marnitz
Young patients with cervical cancer who undergo chemoradiation might be interested in fertility preservation, not only dependent upon the use of a gestational carrier as maybe achieved by the use of ovarian transposition and cryo-conservation of oocytes or ovarian tissue, but may prefer to carry pregnancy to term after cancer treatment. The latter approach is a non-established concept needing both...... hiện toàn bộ
MiR-34a is up-regulated in response to low dose, low energy X-ray induced DNA damage in breast cellsRadiation Oncology - - 2013

MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs involved in the regulation of gene expression including DNA damage responses. Low doses of low energy X-ray radiation, similar to those used in mammographic exams, has been described to be genotoxic. In the present work we investigated the expression of miR-34a; a well described p53-regulated miRNA implicated in cell responses to X-ray irradiation at low doses. Non-ca...... hiện toàn bộ
