Dose distribution in the thyroid gland following radiation therapy of breast cancer-a retrospective study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-09)Purpose: To relate the development of post-treatment hypothyroidism with the dose distribution within the thyroid gland in breast cancer (BC) patients treated with loco-regional radiotherapy (RT). Methods and materials: ... -
Measurement of Neutron Doses from Radiotherapy with 12C Ions and Photons
(Master thesis, 2009-05-21)The overall objective of this thesis has been to investigate the neutron doses from radiotherapy with photons and ions. The advantages of proton and ion therapy, compared to the use of photons were also examined. During ... -
Models for the relative biological effectiveness in proton therapy: on the impact of cell-irradiation design
(Master thesis, 2020-07-07)Background: The use of protons was first suggested for use in treating cancer in 1946, due to its preferable dose distribution. In clinical practice, a constant Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 is used in ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of neutron based in-vivo range verification in proton therapy – optimization of detector dimensions and positioning
(Master thesis, 2019-12-06)Proton therapy is a cancer treatment modality expanding in clinical applications around the world. Due to the finite range of a monoenergetic proton beam, it is possible to spare more of the healthy tissue surrounding the ... -
An organ deformation model using Bayesian inference to combine population and patient-specific data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective. Organ deformation models have the potential to improve delivery and reduce toxicity of radiotherapy, but existing data-driven motion models are based on either patient-specific or population data. We propose to ... -
The updated ESTRO core curricula 2011 for clinicians, medical physicists and RTTs in radiotherapy/radiation oncology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04)Introduction: In 2007 ESTRO proposed a revision and harmonisation of the core curricula for radiation oncologists, medical physicists and RTTs to encourage harmonised education programmes for the professional disciplines, ... -
Vascular responses to radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy in experimental prostate cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-05-23)Background: Radiotherapy (RT) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) are standard treatments for advanced prostate cancer (PC). Tumor vascularization is recognized as an important physiological feature likely to impact on ...
