Preclinical models in radiation oncology
As the incidence of cancer continues to rise, the use of radiotherapy has emerged as a leading treatment modality. Preclinical models in radiation oncology are essential tools for cancer research and therapeutics. Various model systems have been used to test radiation therapy, including in vitro cell culture assays as well as in vivo ectopic and orthotopic xenograft models. This review aims to ...
متن کاملVisualization, imaging and new preclinical diagnostics in radiation oncology
Innovative strategies in cancer radiotherapy are stimulated by the growing knowledge on cellular and molecular tumor biology, tumor pathophysiology, and tumor microenvironment. In terms of tumor diagnostics and therapy monitoring, the reliable delineation of tumor boundaries and the assessment of tumor heterogeneity are increasingly complemented by the non-invasive characterization of functiona...
متن کاملHazards and risks in oncology: radiation oncology
Adverse effects and hazards which have their origin from radiation using conventional techniques like 3-D conformal radiotherapy and total radiation doses are well known. However little is known about the sprectum of especially late toxicity after radiation using new technologies like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with novel target volume and dose concepts. Since IMRT allows ...
متن کاملAdvances in radiation oncology.
Advances in radiation oncology have been made on three major fronts: biology, physics, and clinical application. Our biological understanding of how radiation kills cells and how malignant cells avoid damage has identified new targets for therapeutic manipulation. Research in physics has yielded sophisticated methods to direct the deposition of radiation energy in ways that enhance target cover...
متن کاملQuality in radiation oncology.
A modern approach to quality was developed in the United States at Bell Telephone Laboratories during the first part of the 20th century. Over the years, those quality techniques have been adopted and extended by almost every industry. Medicine in general and radiation oncology in particular have been slow to adopt modern quality techniques. This work contains a brief description of the history...
