Radiation-induced bystander effect following hypo- fraction technique of grid therapy by use of sensitive molecular markers
Introduction: Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) is a well-known response associated with the induction of radiation effects in non-irradiated cells via signaling of hit ones. As this so-called phenomenon has been largely investigated in low dose levels, few studies focused on higher dose levels such as grid therapy. Grid therapy or spatially fractionated gri...
متن کاملSpatially fractionated radiotherapy (GRID) using helical tomotherapy
Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (GRID) was designed to treat large tumors while sparing skin, and it is usually delivered with a linear accelerator using a commercially available block or multileaf collimator (LINAC-GRID). For deep-seated (skin to tumor distance (> 8 cm)) tumors, it is always a challenge to achieve adequate tumor dose coverage. A novel method to perform GRID treatment using...
متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially‐available block for spatially fractionated radiation therapy
In this paper, we present the dosimetric characteristics of a commercially-produced universal GRID block for spatially fractioned radiation therapy. The dosimetric properties of the GRID block were evaluated. Ionization chamber and film measurements using both Kodak EDR2 and Gafchromic EBT film were performed in a solid water phantom to determine the relative output of the GRID block as well as...
متن کاملFractionated Radiation Therapy for Benign Nonacoustic Schwannomas.
OBJECTIVES We analyzed the outcomes of patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas treated with fractionated radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Between October 1987 and March 2013, 11 patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas diagnosed radiographically (n=3) or pathologically (n=8) were treated with fractionated RT with curative intent at the University of Florida. We reviewed patients' medi...
متن کاملBeam-based Feedback for the Nlc Linac
The NLC linac train-by-train feedback system is designed to stabilize the beam trajectory, but is also a valuable element in the strategy for emittance preservation. New simulations employ improved strategies [1], allowing beam steering to be performed significantly less often than without the feedback system. Additional simulations indicate that the linac feedback can contribute towards succes...
