OpenTPS -- Open-source treatment planning system for research in proton therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Introduction. Treatment planning systems (TPS) are an essential component for simulating and optimizing a radiation therapy treatment before administering it to the patient. It ensures that the tumor is well covered and the dose to the healthy tissues is minimized. However, the TPS provided by commercial companies often come with a large panel of tools,

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Antioxidants and Radiation Therapy [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2004 The American Cancer Society estimates 1,368,050 new cancer cases in 2004 and 536,700 deaths from the disease. Although cancer rates for different sites vary widely, the 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined is estimated at 63%. Among the many possible causes of cancer, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the onset and

Establishment and biological characterization of radioresistant colorectal cancer cell lines
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under ionizing radiation exposure, radiation‐sensitive cancer cells exhibit oxidative stress and DNA damage, while radiation‐resistant cancer cells exhibit strong antioxidant properties and DNA damage repair. Radiotherapy resistance is a major cause of recurrence and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC).
