Paradigm Shift in Radiation Biology/Radiation Oncology—Exploitation of the “H2O2 Effect” for Radiotherapy Using Low-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) Radiation such as X-rays and High-Energy Electrons

open access: yesCancers, 2016
Most radiation biologists/radiation oncologists have long accepted the concept that the biologic effects of radiation principally involve damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is the critical target, as described in “Radiobiology for the ...

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

A Dosiomics Analysis Based on Linear Energy Transfer and Biological Dose Maps to Predict Local Recurrence in Sacral Chordomas after Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy

open access: yesCancers, 2022
Simple Summary The poor tumor characterization and the lack of prognostic biomarkers hinder the efficacy and the personalization of treatments for Sacral Chordomas (SC), for which Carbon Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT) is one of the most promising therapeutic ...

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

The challenge of ionisation chamber dosimetry in ultra-short pulsed high dose-rate Very High Energy Electron beams

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
High dose-rate radiotherapy, known as FLASH, has been shown to increase the differential response between healthy and tumour tissue. Moreover, Very High Energy Electrons (VHEEs) provide more favourable dose distributions than conventional radiotherapy ...

On the potential biological impact of radiation-induced acoustic emissions during ultra-high dose rate electron radiotherapy: a preliminary study

open access: yesPhysics in Medicine and Biology, 2023
Ionizing radiation pulses delivered at ultra-high dose rates in emerging FLASH radiotherapy can result in high-intensity low-frequency thermoacoustic emissions that may have a biological impact.
