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

2. Mathematical Modelling of Dose Planning in High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy
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
3. Treatment Planning of High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy - Mathematical Modelling and Optimization
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
4. High dose rate brachytherapy boost for localized prostate cancer : clinical and patient-reported outcomes
Sammanfattning : Curative treatment of prostate cancer is controversial. The therapeutic effects of surgery and radiotherapy (RT) have hitherto proved to be similar, why other endpoints such as health related quality of life (HRQoL) stay important in decision-making. LÄS MER
5. Modelling late toxicity in hypofractionated radiation therapy
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
