The purpose of the recent study, Characterization of Inorganic Scintillator Detectors for Dosimetry in Image-Guided Small Animal Radiotherapy Platforms, was to characterize a detection system based on inorganic scintillators and determine its suitability for dosimetry in preclinical radiation research.
Researchers sought to understand the role of kV treatment in locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer in which kV radiotherapy was used as the primary modality or as supportive treatment to linac-based RT to gain local tumor control and improve the patient’s quality of life. See details of the recent study, Kilovoltage radiotherapy as a supportive treatment in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer – a series of six case reports, and the full report on six cases.
Pelvic radiotherapy (RT) can cause debilitating bladder toxicities. In the recent study, Prevention of Radiation-Induced Bladder Injury: A Murine Study Using Captopril, researchers sought methods to protect against and alleviate RT-induced late bladder injury. See details and the full study here.
In the recent study, Orthovoltage X-ray Minibeam Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Ocular Tumours—An In Silico Evaluation, researchers sought to understand radiotherapeutic treatment of ocular tumours. They are often challenging because of nearby radiosensitive structures and the high doses required to treat radioresistant cancers such as uveal melanomas.
In the recent study, Short-term and bystander effects of radiation on murine submandibular glands, researchers sought to understand hyposalivation effects that can be caused by radiation. See details below and the full study here.
In a recent study, Short-course neoadjuvant in situ vaccination for murine melanoma, researchers compared the effectiveness of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and/or tumor vaccination. See more below and the full study here.
Amidst concerns of radiological terrorism, there are institutional initiatives to replace radionuclide sources with lower energy X-ray sources. As researchers transition, questions remain regarding whether the biological effects of gamma-rays may be recapitulated with...
In the recent publication, A scoping review of small animal image-guided radiotherapy research: Advances, impact and future opportunities in translational radiobiology, researchers examined published research using small animal irradiators, including SARRP. See more...
As new technologies increase the accuracy and clinical relevance of our delivery of radiotherapy to preclinical models of cancer, it becomes even more important that the preclinical models are also representative of the clinical scenario. There are limitations to...
