1. 1. Radiotherapy in a FLASH : Towards clinical translation of ultra-high dose rate electron therapy

   Författare :Elise Konradsson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiotherapy; Dosimetry; Ultra-high dose rate; Electron therapy; FLASH; Fysicumarkivet A:2023:Konradsson;

   Sammanfattning : FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is a promising new approach to radiotherapy that has the potential to transform the field. By administering radiation at ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) on a millisecond timescale, FLASH-RT may increase normal tissue tolerance compared to conventional radiotherapy while maintaining the anti-tumoral effect.

3. 2. Dose Escalation with High Dose Rate Brachytherapy or Protons in Curative Radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer

   Författare :Lennart Åström; Lars Holmberg; Gunilla Enblad; Henrik Grönberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; radiotherapy; brachytherapy; high dose rate; protons; PSA bounce;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to study the outcome and side effects after dose-escalated radiotherapy with high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) or proton beam therapy (PBT) boost in prostate cancer.The first cohorts of men in Sweden treated with either HDR-BT or PBT in combination with conventional photon beam therapy (2 Gray (Gy) fractions to 50 Gy) were analysed.

4. 3. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy

   Författare :Niclas Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypofractionation; normal tissue complication probability; modelling; linear-quadratic model; fractionation sensitivity; late toxicity; radiation-induced rib fracture; genitourinary toxicity; stereotactic body radiation therapy; high-dose-rate brachytherapy; multimodality radiation therapy; patient-reported outcomes; prostate cancer; nsclc;

   Sammanfattning : In hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT), the treatment is delivered by few fractions with high doses per fraction. This is in contrast to conventionally fractionated RT where the total dose is delivered in many fractions with low doses per fraction. LÄS MER

5. 4. Mathematical Modelling of Dose Planning in High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy

   Författare :Björn Morén; Torbjörn Larsson; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Sebastiaan Breedveld; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Cancer is a widespread type of diseases that each year affects millions of people. It is mainly treated by chemotherapy, surgery or radiation therapy, or a combination of them. One modality of radiation therapy is high dose-rate brachytherapy, used in treatment of for example prostate cancer and gynecologic cancer. LÄS MER

7. 5. Treatment Planning of High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy - Mathematical Modelling and Optimization

   Författare :Björn Morén; Torbjörn Larsson; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Bram Gorissen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Cancer is a widespread class of diseases that each year affects millions of people. It is mostly treated with chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, or combinations thereof. High doserate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) is one modality of radiation therapy, which is used to treat for example prostate cancer and gynecologic cancer. In BT, catheters (i. LÄS MER
