Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and the leading cause of death in Spain [1]. Radiotherapy plays an important role in cancer treatment with approximately 50% of all cancer patients receiving radiation therapy during the course of their illness [2], [3]. However, radiation damages both healthy and cancerous tissues and improving the therapeutic index (the relationship between the probability of tumor control and the likelihood of normal tissue damage) is a constant challenge in radiotherapy [4]. Consequently, optimizing treatment plans (TP) is of utmost importance [5]. In this thesis we present two projects in collaboration with GMV [6] and SEDECAL [7] that aim to this goal. On the one hand, we propose a design for a small animal x-ray irradiator to be used in preclinical research. This kind of devices serve to downscale the clinical scenario to the laboratory in order to study the radiobiological response and improve clinical outcomes [8]. Our proposal consists of a conventional X-ray tube and a self-shielded cabinet, which make the system affordable and suitable to use without disruption inexisting laboratories...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a valuable resource for hospitals, institutions, and health authorities worldwide in their plans to set up and develop comprehensive cancer care centers. The development and implementation of a comprehensive cancer program allows for a systematic approach to evidence-based strategies of prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and palliation. Comprehensive cancer programs also provide a nexus for the running of clinical trials and implementation of novel cancer therapies with the overall aim of optimizing comprehensive and holistic care of cancer patients and providing them with the best opportunity to improve quality of life and overall survival. This book's self-contained chapter format aims to reinforce the critical importance of comprehensive cancer care centers while providing a practical guide for the essential components needed to achieve them, such as operational considerations, guidelines for best clinical inpatient and outpatient care, and research and quality management structures. Intended to be wide-ranging and applicable at a global level for both high and low income countries, this book is also instructive for regions with limited resources. The Comprehensive Cancer Center: Development, Integration, and Implementation is an essential resource for oncology physicians including hematologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, and oncology nurses as well as hospitals, health departments, university authorities, governments and legislators.

Download or read book Accuracy Requirements and Uncertainties in Radiotherapy written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accuracy requirements in radiation oncology have been defined in multiple publications; however, these have been based on differing radiation technologies. In the meantime, the uncertainties in radiation dosimetry reference standards have been reduced and more detailed patient outcome data are available. No comprehensive literature on accuracy and uncertainties in radiotherapy has been published so far. The IAEA has therefore developed a new international consensus document on accuracy requirements and uncertainties in radiation therapy, to promote safer and more effective patient treatments. This publication addresses accuracy and uncertainty issues related to the vast majority of radiotherapy departments including both external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. It covers clinical, radiobiological, dosimetric, technical and physical aspects.
