A mathematical model of brain tumour response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy considering radiobiological aspects.
Glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant brain tumour. For many years, the conventional treatment has been maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy (RT), with a median survival time of less than 10 months. Previously, the use of adjuvant chemotherapy (given after RT) has failed to demonstrate a statistically significant survival advantage. Recently, a randomized phase III tria...
متن کاملRadiobiological Model in Radiotherapy Planning for Prostate Cancer Treatment
Quantitative radiobiological models can be used to assess the optimum clinical outcome from sophisticated therapeutic modalities by calculating tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). In this study two 3D-CRT and an IMRT treatment plans were developed with an initial prescription dose of 60 Gy in 2 Gy/fraction to prostate. Sensitivity of TCP and Compli...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملSpinal cord response to altered fractionation and re-irradiation: radiobiological considerations and role of bioeffect models.
The aim of radiation oncologist is to implement an uncomplicated loco regional control of cancer by radiation therapy. The bioeffect of a physical dose depends on the nature of the tissue, fractionation scheme, dose rate and treatment time. The transformation of absorbed dose into a bioeffect dose is controlled by treatment variables and the radiobiological characteristics of the relevant tissu...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Model of the Chemical Phase of Radiobiological Mechanism
Understanding radiobiological mechanism is important in the protection of cells against ionizing radiation as well as in the treatment of tumors. The ionizing particles transfer their energy to surrounding medium and important biological reactions may occur in biological objects (cells). Mathematical modelling and computer simulation of the given processes play a key role in a study of such pro...
