Stereotactic body radiation therapy offers good lung local tumor control by the administration of a high dose per fraction in small volumes. Stereotactic body radiation therapy preclinical modeling is now possible, and in their paper “Lung Stereotactic Arc Therapy in...
In their paper “Preclinical Evaluation of Dose-Volume Effects and Lung Toxicity Occurring In and Out-of-Field” Ghita M1, Dunne VL, McMahon SJ, Osman SO, Small DM, et al, aim to define the dose and dose-volume relationship of radiation-induced pulmonary toxicities...
October 3rd, 2019 Xstrahl and Washington DC-based C&C Irradiator Service are announcing a partnership to supply next generation X-ray irradiator systems to replace cesium sources across the U.S. Used throughout the world, with hundreds in the United States,...
Dosimety radiobiology experiemtns have long needed a viable and realistic mouse phantom. In their paper “Technical Note: Manufacturing of a realistic mouse phantom for dosimetry of radiobiology experiments.” Esplen N, Alyaqoub E & Bazalova-Carter M aim to design a...
In their paper “Characterization of a plastic scintillating detector for the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP)” Johnstone CD, Therriault-Proulx F, Beaulieu L & Bazalova-Carter M aimed to characterize a small plastic scintillator developed for high...
Non-ablative or mild hyperthermia (HT) has been shown in preclinical and clinical studies as a localized radiosensitizer that enhances the tumoricidal effects of radiation. Most preclinical in vivo HT studies use subcutaneous tumor models which do not adequately...
Xstrahl would like to say a big thank you to all the participants of the SARRP User Meeting hosted by the Xstrahl Life Sciences team on August 25th, 2019, the first day of the ICRR 2019 conference. The SARRP User Meeting brought together SARRP scientists from Europe...
Side effects caused by radiation are a limiting factor to the amount of dose that can be applied to a tumor volume. A novel method to reduce side effects in radiotherapy is the use of spatial fractionation, in which a pattern of sub-millimeter beams (minibeams) is...
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The standard of care consists of maximal possible surgical resection with concomitant radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ). Currently the target volume delineation for RT is based...
