Kill-painting of hypoxic tumours in charged particle therapy
Solid tumours often present regions with severe oxygen deprivation (hypoxia), which are resistant to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Increased radiosensitivity as a function of the oxygen concentration is well described for X-rays. It has also been demonstrated that radioresistance in anoxia is reduced using high-LET radiation rather than conventional X-rays. However, the dependence of the ...
متن کاملTumour Control Probability in Cancer Stem Cells Hypothesis
The tumour control probability (TCP) is a formalism derived to compare various treatment regimens of radiation therapy, defined as the probability that given a prescribed dose of radiation, a tumour has been eradicated or controlled. In the traditional view of cancer, all cells share the ability to divide without limit and thus have the potential to generate a malignant tumour. However, an emer...
متن کاملExtrapolation Yields Painting, Probability, and Predictions
A to the National Museum of American History, “Inspired by the allure of the space age, many Americans of the 1960s took great interest in mathematics and science.” Included among these was Crockett Johnson, a wellknown cartoonist, book illustrator, and children’s author best remembered for his Harold and the Purple Crayon series. From 1965 until his death in 1975, Johnson painted what he descr...
متن کاملAre more complicated tumour control probability models better?
Mathematical models for the tumour control probability (TCP) are used to estimate the expected success of radiation treatment protocols of cancer. There are several TCP models in the literature, from the simplest (Poissonian TCP) to the well-advanced stochastic birth-death processes. Simple and complex models often make the same predictions. Hence, here, we present a systematic study where we c...
متن کاملTumour markers in pediatric solid tumours
Tumour marker as a term generally refers to developmentally regulated proteins which are expressed in or from neoplastic tissues. Traditionally these proteins were protein or carbohydrate molecules, which were expressed in the fetus during the developmental period, thus these were also known as ‘oncofetal antigens’. In the present era the term ‘tumour marker’ has acquired a broader sense and im...
