Background:
Radiation therapy is known to cause acute and long term side effects. Some of those side effects are a major reason of mortality in cancer survivors. Heart disease after radiotherapy for Hodgkin and breast cancer patients is a major...
Radiobiological effectiveness and its role in modelling secondary cancer risk for proton therapy
Purpose/Objective(s):
In proton therapy, a radiobiological effectiveness ratio (RBE) of 1.1 (RBE1.1) is often used. In reality, RBE depends on...
Introduction
More than half of cancer patients receive radiotherapy for radical or palliative purposes. Increasing survival rates in cancer patients make it important to study late side-effects, including secondary radiation-induced cancers....
Background:
In proton therapy, a radiobiological effectiveness ratio (RBE) of 1.1 (RBE1.1) is often used. In reality, RBE depends on dose, linear energy transfer (LET), biological end point, and tissue type. Using a value of RBE that may be not...

Social Media has become a significant mode of communication. The use of microblogging sites such as Twitter has
grown exponentially. We explored Twitter's role as a medium for information exchange on proton therapy.

More than half of cancer patients receive radiotherapy for radical or palliative purposes. Increasing survival rates in cancer patients make it important to study late side-effects, including secondary radiation-induced cancers. Although a number of...
More than half of cancer patients receive radiotherapy either for radical or palliative purposes. The increasing survival rates in cancer patients makes it important to pay attention to side-effects of the treatment. Modelling side effects of...
Tools for comparing relative induced second cancer risk, to inform choice of radiotherapy treatment plan, are becoming increasingly necessary as the availability of new treatment modalities expands. Uncertainties, in both radiobiological models and...
