The Effect of Breast Reconstruction Prosthesis on Photon Dose Distribution in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Introduction: Siliconeprosthetic implants are commonlyutilizedfor tissue replacement and breast augmentation after mastectomy. On the other hand, some patients require adjuvant radiotherapy in order to preventlocal-regional recurrence and increment ofthe overall survival. In case of recurrence, the radiation oncologist might have to irradiate the prosthesis.The aim of this study was to evaluate...
متن کاملDose-response relationship for breast cancer induction at radiotherapy dose
PURPOSE Cancer induction after radiation therapy is known as a severe side effect. It is therefore of interest to predict the probability of second cancer appearance for the patient to be treated including breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this work a dose-response relationship for breast cancer is derived based on(i) the analysis of breast cancer induction after Hodgkin's disease,(ii) ...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of abscopal effect based on biological effective dose in breast cancer tumors in mice
Background: Due to abscopal effect, cell damage may occur outside of the radiation field and the quantification of this effect is one of the most challenging debates in radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to estimate the abscopal effect induced in non-irradiated tumors quantitatively by means of biological effective dose (BED). Materials and Methods: Breast tumors using 4T1 and MC4-L2 ...
متن کاملRelationship between cognitive flexibility and fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients
Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common chronic diseases and the second leading cause of death among women. Fear of cancer recurrence is a major problem for many cancer survivors. Since cognitive flexibility refers to an individual's assessment of the controllability of stressful conditions, we decided to examine the relationship between cognitive flexibility and fear of breast ca...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of treatment of left breast cancer using two different dose schedules Dosimetric comparison of treatment of left breast cancer using two different dose schedules
Background: To date, different kinds of treatment methods have been proposed for radiotherapy of cancer patients. Choosing the kind of treatment method affects the quality of the patient's treatment. This study aims to investigate the effect of the number of radiation treatment sessions on the dose received by the patient and the distribution of tumor dose and dose received by organs at risk in...
