The Impact of Radiation on the Tumor Microenvironment: Effect of Dose and Fractionation Schedules
In addition to inducing lethal DNA damage in tumor and stromal cells, radiation can alter the interactions of tumor cells with their microenvironment. Recent technological advances in planning and delivery of external beam radiotherapy have allowed delivery of larger doses per fraction (hypofractionation) while minimizing dose to normal tissues with higher precision. The effects of radiation on...
متن کاملComparison of Two Different Radiation Fractionation Schedules in Early Stage Carcinoma Larynx
Introduction: Carcinoma of larynx which is linked directly with smoking is emering a very big public heath problem. In our study, we have treated cases of early glottic carcinoma by two different dose fractionation schedules in relation to overall treatment time and have tried to assess the response of two different fractionation schedules. Material and Methods: This is an analysis of 29 patien...
متن کاملDynamic optimization of fractionation schedules in radiation therapy
In this thesis, we investigate the improvement in treatment effectiveness when dynamically optimizing the fractionation scheme in radiation therapy. In the first part of the thesis, we consider delivering a different dose each day depending on the observed patient anatomy. Given that a fixed prescribed dose must be delivered to the tumor over the course of the treatment, such an approach result...
متن کاملExamples of Different Minimal Diffeomorphisms Giving the Same C*-algebras
We give examples of minimal diffeomorphisms of compact connected manifolds which are not topologically orbit equivalent, but whose transformation group C*-algebras are isomorphic. The examples show that the following properties of a minimal diffeomorphism are not invariants of the transformation group C*-algebra: having topologically quasidiscrete spectrum; the action on singular cohomology (wh...
متن کاملOptimization of Radiation Therapy Fractionation Schedules in the Presence of Tumor Repopulation
W analyze the effect of tumor repopulation on optimal dose delivery in radiation therapy. We are primarily motivated by accelerated tumor repopulation toward the end of radiation treatment, which is believed to play a role in treatment failure for some tumor sites. A dynamic programming framework is developed to determine an optimal fractionation scheme based on a model of cell kill from radiat...
