  1. 1. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Paula Camargo Romera; [2023]
    Keywords : Cancer; Glioblastoma; Computational Biology; Bioinformatics; Microenvironment; Brain tumour; Interactions; Systems Biology;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the fastest-growing, and the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. It is normally treated with surgery and radio- or chemotherapy, but the approximate life expectancy is of 15 months with a high probability of cancer recurring. Therefore, there is a need for decreasing its severity. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Deep-learning based prediction model for dose distributions in lung cancer patients

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Terese Hellström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background To combat one of the leading causes of death worldwide, lung cancer treatment techniques and modalities are advancing, and the treatment options are becoming increasingly individualized. Modern cancer treatment includes the option for the patient to be treated with proton therapy, which can in some cases spare healthy tissue from excessive dose better than conventional photon radiotherapy.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Robust Optimization for Uncertain Radiobiological Parameters in Inverse Dose Planning

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Jennie Falk; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a common cause of death worldwide with radiotherapy as one of the most used treatments. Radiation treatment plans are normally optimized using constraints on the maximum dose to tumours and minimum dose to surrounding healthy structures. READ MORE
