  1. 1. Hypoxic Target Volume Determination in PET/CT Imaging : The Impact of Deformable Image Registration

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Viktor Rosenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Positron emission tomography; image registration; hypoxic tumour volume; dose escalation; tumour control probability;

    Abstract : Using a tailored dose distribution for personalized radiotherapy with the help of positron emission tomography (PET) might give an edge for successful tumour elimination. One of the main determinants for tumour radioresistance in several solid tumours has been investigated as hypoxia, including head and neck cancer (HNC). READ MORE

  3. 2. Target Volume Delineation In Hypoxia Dose Painting

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Madita Edeling; [2019]
    Keywords : Tumour Hypoxia; Radiation Therapy;

    Abstract : Purpose: Tumour hypoxia is the result of uncontrolled growth of the tumour and its vasculature and is often found in solid tumours. It has been known for some time that tumour hypoxia is associated with increased radio resistance and poorer treatment outcomes. READ MORE

  4. 3. The impact of hypoxia on tumour control probability in the high-dose range used in stereotactic body radiation therapy

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Emely Lindblom; [2012]
    Keywords : Radiobiological modeling; Hypoxia; Stereotactic body radiotherapy; Hypofractionation; SBRT; Non-small cell lung cancer; NSCLC;

    Abstract : The use of stereotactic body radiation therapy employing few large fractions of radiation dose for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer has been proven very successful, high values of tumour control probability (TCP) being clinically achieved. In spite of the success of the fractionation schedules currently used, there is a tendency towards reducing the number of fractions for economical and practical reasons, and also for maximizing the comfort of the patients.

  5. 4. The IL-33/ST2 pathway in CNS : Traumatic brain injury and brain tumour

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Xiaofei Li; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a dual function cytokine. It is a member of the IL-1 family and it acts as a pro-inflammatory factor (18 kilo Dalton, 18 kD) like other cytokines in IL-1 family. IL-33 is also a transcription factor (32 kD - form) which can suppress or activate gene transcription in diverse cases. READ MORE
