Radiation therapy plays a crucial role in the management of breast cancer. However, current standards of care have yet to accommodate patient-specific radiation sensitivity. Raman spectroscopy is promising for applications in radiobiological studies and as a technique...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females within the UK, accounting for almost a third (31%) of all female cases (2015)[1]. It is no wonder that scientists are constantly looking for new innovative and more effective ways of treating this disease, trying to...
Summer, has at last come and we are all looking forward to spending more time outdoors, lying on the beach, soaking in the sunshine, and getting a beautiful tan. Nothing can compare with these summer sunny pleasures! What about a proper protection from the other, ugly...
"The demand for orthovoltage therapy today exceeds the supply," so think the radiologists at the Mariinsky Hospital in St. Petersburg. The X-ray room has been functioning in the Mariinsky Hospital since 1952 and was first equipped with Russian X-ray therapies. In...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a hyper vascular malignant tumour with a poor prognosis. Despite the availability of current chemotherapy and targeted therapies in GBM, not many therapeutic benefits have been achieved due to GBM developing drug resistance. Most therapies have...
Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare cancer type caused by virus. Its main symptom is lesions - purplish, reddish blue or dark brown/black macules, plaques or nodules which present on the skin and occasionally internal organs. Though unable to be cured completely the lesions...
PURPOSE: To implement Velocity-based image fusion and adaptive deformable registration to enable treatment planning for preclinical murine models of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) using the small animal radiation research platform (SARRP). METHODS AND...
PURPOSE: The main objective of radiobiology is to establish links between doses and radiation-induced biological effects. In this context, well-defined dosimetry protocols are crucial to the determination of experimental protocols. This work proposes a new dosimetry...
