Second salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017 Purpose : Salvage treatments for localized radiorecurrent prostate cancer can be performed safely when a focal and image guided approach is used. Due to the low toxicity, the opportunity exists to investigate a second salvage treatment when a second ...

General ion recombination effect in a liquid ionization chamber in high-dose-rate pulsed photon and electron beams [PDF]
, 2018 Liquid ionization chambers (LICs) are highly sensitive to dose irradiation and have small perturbations because of their liquid-filled sensitive volume. They require a sensitive volume much smaller than conventional air-filled chambers.

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for female peri-urethral cancer
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2016 Purpose: Peri-urethral cancer (PUC) in females is a rare malignancy. Surgery is not usually contemplated due to associated morbidity. Radiation therapy (RT) can be employed in the form of interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) alone for early lesions, and ...

Phase I study of dose escalation to dominant intraprostatic lesions using high-dose-rate brachytherapy. [PDF]
, 2018 PurposeRadiation dose escalation for prostate cancer improves biochemical control but is limited by toxicity. Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can define dominant intraprostatic lesions (DIL).

Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress [PDF]
, 2014 It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumours. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumours with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and ...

Transit dosimetry in 192Ir high dose rate brachytherapy [PDF]
, 2010 Background and purpose: Historically HDR brachytherapy treatment planning systems ignore the transit dose in the computation of patient dose. However, the total radiation dose delivered during each treatment cycle is equal to the sum of the static dose

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
, 1987 The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined
