Background and purpose Magnetic Resonance (MR)-only planning has been implemented clinically for radiotherapy of prostate cancer. However, fewer studies exist regarding the overall success rate of MR-only workflows. We report on successes and challenges of implementing MR-only workflows for prostate. ...
Patients who have been told that“there is nothing else that can be done”or that“surgery is too dangerous”may be perfect candidates for CyberKnife cancer treatment. Non-Surgical Alternative CyberKnife radiosurgery is a minimally-invasive alternative cancer treatment. ...
The term [1+(B/A)D] is called DDREF (dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor) and has been assigned the value 2 for low LET radiation. Thus, in a radiation protection situation where individuals are exposed to low doses, the probability of cancer induction per unit dose would be ...

Once ATP is released by dying tumor cells, it attracts more DCs to cancer sites by stimulating purinergic receptors on DCs. ATP creates a strong “find-me” signal for macrophages and DCs6. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) are two other members of DAMPs ...
The use of 177Lu-DOTATATE for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours is increasing, as will be future treatments with 177Lu-based radiopharmaceuticals, such as 177Lu-PSMA-617 for prostate cancer. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the doses received by nuclear medicine staff involved...
When speaking in terms of tumor cure, the fraction of cells surviving determines the success of treatment, because a single surviving cell might suffice for regrowth of the tumor. ▪ For normal tissues, the tolerance is greatly dependent on the ability of stem cells to maintain a sufficient ...
Radiation therapy with X or gamma rays and high-energy proton/ion beams are commonly employed for the treatment of many types of solid tumor. Radiations act directly on the target, ideally the tumor mass, initiating a chain of events that leads to apoptosis or senescence of the can...
