The Need for Accurate Dosimetry in Pre-Clinical Radiobiology Studies

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.
