Influence of SBRT fractionation on TCP and NTCP estimations for prostate cancer.

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiation therapy is widely used for the hypofractionated treatment of prostate cancer. The range of total doses used in different clinical trials varies from 33.5 to 50 Gy delivered in 4 or 5 fractions.

Antitumor efficacy of extracellular complexes with gadolinium in Binary Radiotherapy.

In this report the efficacy of extracellular pharmaceutical Gd-DTPA in Binary Radiotherapy was studied. The study was carried out in mice bearing transplantable adenocarcinoma Ca755 using X-ray based contrast enhanced radiotherapy as a practical implementation of Binary Radiotherapy. It was shown that intravenous administration of 0.

[Increase of X-ray radiotherapy antineoplastic efficacy by use of a gadolinium containing pharmaceutical].

The influence of the gadolinium-containing drug Dipentast (0.5 M water solution of sodium gadopentetate) on the antineoplastic efficacy of X-ray radiotherapy has been studied. Dipentast possesses neither intrinsic antitumor effect, nor tumor-seeking capability.

Comparison of BNCT and GdNCT efficacy in treatment of canine cancer.

In this study efficacy of antineoplastic action of gadolinium NCT and boron NCT in cases of canine melanoma and osteosarcoma was compared. Canine spontaneous tumors, such as melanoma and osteosarcoma, have clinical common features with human malignancies, so these tumors in dogs can be considered as clinical model of human melanoma and osteosarcoma. The study has been carried out on 33 dogs with oral cavity melanoma and 9 dogs with osteosarcoma.
