The Role of radiobiological parameters on Tumor control probability (TCP) in prostate cancer
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluation radiobiological modeling parameters on tumor control probability (TCP) for prostate cancer in three different models. These parameters included α⁄β ratios and cell surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2). Materials and Methods: The Poisson, equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and linear quadratic (LQ) models was used as...

Background Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women and is regarded as one of the leading causes of cancer death in developing countries. In cervical cancer patients, both surgery and radiation therapy may bring about sexual dysfunction. Therefore, this study aimed to survey sexual dysfunction in women with cervical cancer and a history study of pelvic radiation therapy in Ghae...
متن کاملOptimizing the Delivery of Radiation Therapy to Cancer Patients
In the field of radiation therapy, much of the research is aimed at developing new and innovative techniques for treating cancer patients with radiation. In recent years, new treatment machines have been developed that provide a much greater degree of computer control than was available with the machines of previous generations. One innovation has been the development of an approach called “tom...

متن کاملNanotechnology application in cancer treatment
Chemotherapy has been the main known treatment for cancer diseases. However, its achievement rate remains low, mainly because of the restricted accessibility of drugs to the tumor tissue, their painful toxicity, and development of multi-drug resistance. In recent years, either better understanding of tumor biology or development of the ever-growing field of nanotechnology has proposed new treat...
