Radiogenic Second Cancer Risk Differences In Female Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients Treated With Proton Versus Photon Radiotherapies
<p>Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) is the most common cancer diagnosis of young adults in the United States. Advances in curative treatments for HL, including the use of photon radiation therapy (RT) techniques, have increased 10 year survival rates to approximately 90% among young patients. These RT …

Quantitative Comparison of Late Effects Following Photon Versus Proton External-Beam Radiation Therapies: to ward An Evidence-Based Approach to Selecting A Treatment Modality
… to estimate the corresponding risk of radiogenic second cancer and cardiac toxicity based on the calculated doses and on dose-risk models from the literature; to test for the statistical significance of the difference between predicted risks after photon <em>versus</em> proton radiotherapies; and …

Scanned Ion Beam Therapy For Thoracic Tumors
… and young adults can develop radiation induced second cancers. These patients could potentially benefit from scanned ion radiotherapy yet likely would require motion mitigation strategies. In theory, four-dimensional (4D) optimization of ion beam fields for individual motion states of …

Second cancers following treatment for retinoblastoma
… have elevated risks of developing additional cancers, mostly bone and soft tissue sarcomas and melanoma. Despite advances in understanding of second cancer risks following treatment for retinoblastoma, key research questions remained including 1) risks of common adult onset cancers, some of …

The Role of Cell Sterilization In Population Based Studies of Radiogenic Second Cancers Following Radiation Therapy
… of their sensitivity to radiation induced second cancers. However, due to the rarity of childhood cancers and the long latency of second cancers, large sample sizes are unavailable for the epidemiological study of contemporary radiotherapy treatments. Additionally, when specific treatments …

Risk of Second Malignant Neoplasms Following Proton Arc Therapy and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy For Prostate Cancer
<p>The risk of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs) following prostate radiotherapy is a concern due to the large population of survivors and decreasing age at diagnosis. It is known that parallel-opposed beam proton therapy carries a lower risk than photon IMRT. However, a comparison of SMN risk …

Mathematical modelling of the innate and adaptive immune response to solid tumours
… to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium or cancer dormancy. The precise biochemical and cellular mechanisms by which CTLs can control a cancer and keep it in a dormant state are still not completely understood from a biological and immunological point of view. The mathematical models focus …
