Radiotherapy remains one of many treatment options available for patients diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). NMSC is a radiation-responsive cancer and patients treated with definitive radiotherapy can expect excellent local control rates of >90–95%....
PURPOSE: The aim was to reduce radiation exposure of the lung in experimental models to increase overall survival of mice to study late radiation-induced heart disease. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A new irradiation plan was established on the Small Animal Radiation...
Background Radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (RIGS) results from the acute loss of intestinal stem cells (ISC), impaired epithelial regeneration, and subsequent loss of the mucosal barrier, resulting in electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, weight loss, sepsis,...
ASTRO Interview with Dr. Eric Ford A few months ago, I received the opportunity to sit down with notable physicist, professor, and experimental radiobiology researcher, Dr. Eric Ford. As one of the masterminds behind the Precision Proton Radiotherapy Platform, which...
Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy utilize DNA-PK and PARP inhibitors to sensitize cancer cells, however these inhibitors have so far only been limited to homologous recombination repair deficient tumors, exploiting synthetic lethality. In the study “Sensitizing ewing...
Since October 2017, the radiation clinic and MVZ radiotherapy at the Sana Klinikum Offenbach have a new orthovolt device for X-ray irradiation. "We are pleased to be able to offer our patients another treatment option with the new device," explains chief physician...
January 31st, 2018 – Xstrahl, the leader in X-Ray Technology for treatment of Superficial Skin conditions is pleased to offer the new RADiant therapy system to Physician’s in America. Representing the next generation of compact radiotherapy systems, RADiant’s dual...
Radiation therapy has proven to be an efficient and effective second line option for the treatment of Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinomas, used in special circumstances, such as when surgical intervention is contraindicated or patient scarring concerns. Melanomas...
Combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia offer great potential for the successful treatment of radio-resistant tumours through thermo-radiosensitization. Tumour response heterogeneity, due to intrinsic, or micro-environmentally induced factors, may greatly influence...
