Measuring the photon and thermal neutron dose values of contralateral breast surface undergone breast cancer radiation therapy
This research aimed to measure the received photon and thermal neutron doses to contralateral breast (CB) surface in breast cancer radiation therapy for different field sizes in presence of dynamic and physical wedges. The photon and thermal neutron doses were measured by thermo uminescent dosimeter (TLDs) chips for 11 × 13, 11 × 17 and 11 × 21 cm2 field sizes in presence of physical and dynamic ...
متن کاملCumulative radiation exposure dose of diagnostic imaging studies in breast cancer patients
Background: Breast cancer is a common disease in radiation oncology. We evaluated the radiation dose received by breast cancer patients, an often-neglected concern. Materials and Methods: The total effective radiation dose in 101 breast cancer patients was calculated by summing the effective doses of individual diagnostic imaging tests from the first hospital visit to the initiation of radiothe...
متن کاملAtorvastatin Sensitizes Breast and Lung Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation
Tumour cells may be resistant to radiotherapy that results in unsuccessful cancer treatment in patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitizing effect of atorvastatin (ATV) on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung cancer (A-549) cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). These cells were treated with ATV and exposed to X-ray at dose 4 Gy. The radiosensitizi...

متن کاملPatient-Specific Radiation Dose Estimation in Breast Cancer Screening
Millions of women are screened each year using mammography and/or tomosynthesis in order to detect breast cancer at an early stage. Although the radiation doses used are relatively low [1], the breast is one of the most radiation-sensitive organs so constant vigilance is necessary to ensure that the radiation dose is as low as reasonably achievable (the ALARA principle). Despite this vigilance ...
