Mesenchymal stem cell rescue for bone formation following stereotactic radiotherapy of osteosarcoma
… for prevention or delay of metastatic disease. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) delivers high dose per fraction radiation to a defined tumor volume with relative sparing of surrounding normal tissues. It has been successfully used as a non-surgical limb salvage procedure to achieve local tumor …

Linear regression analysis of 2D projection image data of 6 degrees-of-freedom transformed 3D image sets for stereotactic radiation therapy
… target tumor volume. In patient positioning for stereotactic radiation therapy treatment, classical image registration methods are computationally costly and imprecise. We developed an automatic, fast, and robust 2D-3D registration method to improve accuracy and speed of identifying 6 …

PARP inhibition in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of feline oral squamous cell carcinoma
… clinical trial combining Olaparib and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in 20 cats with OSCC. Olaparib enhanced DNA damage induced by RT in vitro across all cell lines. In healthy cats, Olaparib is safe and demonstrated dose-dependent pharmacokinetics. In OSCC cats, Olaparib could be …

Radiotherapy for head and neck paragangliomas: A 10 year retrospective review 2005-2014 at Groote Schuur Hospital and UCT Private academic hospital
… been increasing evidence that radiosurgery and radiotherapy management of skull-base paragangliomas is as effective as microsurgical resection and carries less morbidity. This 10 year retrospective review of 24 patients in a single institution, treated over 10 years assesses tumour control rates …

Dynamics and utility of cell-free DNA release following radiotherapy in prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer
… To evaluate the dynamics of cfDNA during radical radiotherapy, total cfDNA was quantified in patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate and lung cancer; samples from a sub-cohort underwent methylation analysis and NGS. METHODS: Analysis of blood plasma cfDNA was carried out on samples from …

Clinical symptoms and volumetric radiological responses of acoustic neuroma patients, treated with hypo-fractionated image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) at Groote Schuur hospital between 2013 and 2016
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the gold standard for treatment of small and medium sized tumours, although fractionated regimens are well described. Access is limited in resource-constrained settings. There are no South African data describing outcomes of AN patients treated with …

Risk stratification in the management of localised prostate cancer treated with radical radiotherapy
… has changed greatly in recent years. Radical radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy remain the cornerstones of treatment but have now been joined by active surveillance, dose escalation (via multiple strategies), systemic approaches using androgen deprivation and up-front chemotherapy in …
