A mode of formation of wide fields of fast electrons at LUE-25 accelerator is proposed to expose uniformly the extended 4 cm thick biological objects. Dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams have been studied by film and ferrous-sulfate dosimeters. The potencies and limitations of using the dosimeters as a "witness" are discussed.

: Brain cancer is notoriously resistant to traditional treatments, including radiotherapy. Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), arrays of ultra-fast synchrotron X-ray beams tens of micrometres wide (called peaks) and spaced hundreds of micrometres apart (valleys), is an effective alternative to conventional treatments. MRT's advantage is that normal tissues can be spared from harm whilst maintaining tumour control.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the risk of radiation esophagitis (RE) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing immunochemotherapy followed by radiotherapy (ICI-RT) and sought to create a predictive nomogram for RE risk.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 102 patients, identifying key factors (like maximum and mean radiation doses to the esophagus) through logistic regression that significantly correlated with the development of RE.
  • The nomogram showed strong predictive ability in both training (AUC: 0.918) and validation (AUC: 0.833) groups, indicating its potential as a useful tool in clinical practice for predicting RE in this patient population.

Article Synopsis
  • Proton Minibeam Radiation Therapy has been promising in enhancing treatment efficacy compared to traditional radiation, but more research into its biological mechanisms is needed.
  • A mechanical collimation setup was developed to produce 250µm minibeams with a 1000µm spacing, with optimization using Monte Carlo simulations conducted at various proton therapy sites.
  • Results showed a peak-to-valley dose ratio (PVDR) of 10 in Dresden and 14 in Seattle, with some discrepancies between dosimetry methods that can be addressed with correction factors.

Objectives: Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) intentionally delivers a heterogeneous dose distribution characterized by alternating regions of high and low doses throughout a tumor. This modality may enhance response to subsequent whole tumor radiation in bulky and radioresistant lesions that are historically less responsive to conventional radiation doses alone. The current study presents a single institution experience with modern era SFRT using predominantly a volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) lattice technique.

Purpose: To investigate risk factors for esophageal fistula in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) patients who treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 171 ESCC patients treated with VMAT at Hefei Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Sciences, from February 2017 to February 2021. Clinical and dosimetric parameters, including age, gender, feeding channel, tumor location, T stage, ulcerative tumor, were recorded.
