Abstract:
Serial coronal sections of 89 wide-field laryngectomies were examined. Twenty were specimens obtained from laryngectomies to treat patients for whom primary radiation therapy failed to cure early laryngeal cancer. These specimens were compared to 69 specimens from laryngectomies for T3, and T4, laryngeal cancers. The irradiation-failure group showed a significantly greater invasion of cartilage and extension into subglottic areas. The extension of tumors along blood vessels and mucous glands appeared to contribute to the spread of tumors in the irradiation-failure group. These findings have implications for the surgical management of irradiation failures in the treatment of laryngeal cancers.

Abstract:
scatter photon produced during radiationtherapy with high energy photons is the main source of unwanted out-of-field and superficial received doses of patients.Surface buildup dose is dependent on electron contamination primarily from the unblocked view of the flattening filter and secondarily from air and collimation systems .We performed a comprehensive set of surface and buildup dose measurements with a thin window parallel-plate (PPC-40) chamber to examine effects of attenuating media in front of 6 MV X ray. To evaluate the impact of beam segmentation on buildup dose, measurements were performed with 10 × 10 cm2 fields, Measurements were performed in Solid Water using parallel plate chambers and diode for a 6 MV X-ray beam.

Abstract:
Nasopharyngeal cancer has different malignancy types, based on its location. Themost frequent type of nasopharyngeal cancer is carcinoma of squamous cell whichhappens on cells inside nose, mouth, and throat. The rare types happened such assalivary gland tumor, lymphoma, and sarcoma. There are three main therapies totreat nasopharyngeal cancer; they are radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy.The main treatment is radiation therapy or surgery and chemotherapy or combinationboth of them. Chemotherapy is often conducted as an additional treatment.Combination treatment between those three treatments optimally can be used fornasopharyngeal cancer patient based on the location and disease stadium. Radiationtherapy on nasopharyngeal cancer can caused some side effects, such as mucositis,salivary gland dysfunction, taste sense dysfunction and malnutrition, tooth disorders,bone transforming, cutaneous transforming, nerve disorders, decreasing ofintellectual, lost of hearing sense, complication of malignant cancer caused byradiation, and intracranial bleeding.

Abstract:
This study investigates the Monte Carlo calculations of cell survival in metastatic subcutaneous melanoma cancer tumours. To achieve this goal, a Monte Carlo program called SLAB.FOR was developed by Prof. David Charlton. The program randomly places alphas from 213Bi in the medium, which is a cancer cell sized micro dosimeter with a SiO2 converter on the top and Si as the sensitive volume. Then the Monte Carlo program calculates the energy deposited by alphas and their chord length and also the dose deposited in the sensitive volume. To be able to use this program, some information was taken from phase one of a clinical trial conducted by the Centre of Experimental Radiation Oncology (CERO) in 2001. During the course of this study the administered activities on tumours with different diameters are determined. Using this information the number of alpha particles going through each m3 of the tumour was found. Based on this number, the program SLAB.FOR was run for different administered activities in the tumours. The output of the program yielded the energy deposited and the number of hits by the alpha particles as they go through the tumours. The output data was also used to calculate the cell survival values, energy and hit distribution probabilities. The cell survival values were then used to plot the cell survival curves. They were plotted against dose, number of hits and injected activity per volume of the tumours. These data were also used to plot the energy and hit distribution probability curves. Our results show that survival is dependent on the diameter of the cell and decreases when the dose deposited in the tumour increases. The survival also has a relationship with the number of hits that a cell receives and it also depends on the injected activity to the volume. The survival decreases as the number of hits and injected activity increases. Our results confirmed what was stated in the clinical trial conducted by the Centre of Experimental Radiation Oncology (CERO) in 2001.

Abstract:
Motivation: Radiotherapy is an important modality in cancer treatment commonly using photon beams from compact electron linear accelerators. However, due to the inverse depth dose profile (Bragg peak) with maximum dose deposition at the end of their path, proton beams allow a dose escalation within the target volume and reduction in surrounding normal tissue. Up to 20% of all radiotherapy patients could benefit from proton therapy (PT). Conventional accelerators are utilized to obtain proton beams with therapeutic energies of 70 – 250 MeV. These beams are then transported to the patient via magnetic transferlines and a rotatable beamline, called gantry, which are large and bulky. PT requires huge capex, limiting it to only a few big centres worldwide treating much less than 1% of radiotherapy patients. The new particle acceleration by ultra-intense laser pulses occurs on micrometer scales, potentially enabling more compact PT facilities and increasing their widespread. These laser-accelerated proton (LAP) bunches have been observed recently with energies of up to 90 MeV and scaling models predict LAP with therapeutic energies with the next generation petawatt laser systems. Challenges: Intense pulses with maximum 10 Hz repetition rate, broad energy spectrum, large divergence and short duration characterize LAP beams. In contrast, conventional accelerators generate mono-energetic, narrow, quasi-continuous beams. A new multifunctional gantry is needed for LAP beams with a capture and collimation system to control initial divergence, an energy selection system (ESS) to filter variable energy widths and a large acceptance beam shaping and scanning system. An advanced magnetic technology is also required for a compact and light gantry design. Furthermore, new dose deposition models and treatment planning systems (TPS) are needed for high quality, efficient dose delivery. Materials and Methods: In conventional dose modelling, mono-energetic beams with decreasing energies are superimposed to deliver uniform spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP). The low repetition rate of LAP pulses puts a critical constraint on treatment time and it is highly inefficient to utilize conventional dose models. It is imperative to utilize unique LAP beam properties to reduce total treatment times. A new 1D Broad Energy Assorted depth dose Deposition (BEAD) model was developed. It could deliver similar SOBP by superimposing several LAP pulses with variable broad energy widths. The BEAD model sets the primary criteria for the gantry, i.e. to filter and transport pulses with up to 20 times larger energy widths than conventional beams for efficient dose delivery. Air-core pulsed magnets can reach up to 6 times higher peak magnetic fields than conventional iron-core magnets and the pulsed nature of laser-driven sources allowed their use to reduce the size and weight of the gantry. An isocentric gantry was designed with integrated laser-target assembly, beam capture and collimation, variable ESS and large acceptance achromatic beam transport. An advanced clinical gantry was designed later with a novel active beam shaping and scanning system, called ELPIS. The filtered beam outputs via the advanced gantry simulations were implemented in an advanced 3D TPS, called LAPCERR. A LAP beam gantry and TPS were brought together for the first time, and clinical feasibility was studied for the advanced gantry via tumour conformal dose calculations on real patient data. Furthermore, for realization of pulsed gantry systems, a first pulsed beamline section consisting of prototypes of a capturing solenoid and a sector magnet was designed and tested at tandem accelerator with 10MeV pulsed proton beams. A first air-core pulsed quadrupole was also designed. Results: An advanced gantry with the new ELPIS system was designed and simulated. Simulated results show that achromatic beams with actively selectable beam sizes in the range of 1 – 20 cm diameter with selectable energy widths ranging from 19 – 3% can be delivered via the advanced gantry. ELPIS can also scan these large beams to a 20 × 10 cm2 irradiation field. This gantry is about 2.5 m in height and about 3.5 m in length, which is about 4 times smaller in volume than the conventional PT gantries. The clinical feasibility study on a head and neck tumour patient shows that these filtered beams can deliver state-of-the-art 3D intensity modulated treatment plans. Experimental characterization of a prototype pulsed beamline section was performed successfully and the synchronization of proton pulse with peak magnetic field in the individual magnets was established. This showed the practical applicability and feasibility of pulsed beamlines. The newly designed pulsed quadrupole with three times higher field gradients than iron-core quadrupoles is already manufactured and will be tested in near future. Conclusion: The main hurdle towards laser-driven PT is a laser accelerator providing beams of therapeutic quality, i.e. energy, intensity, stability, reliability. Nevertheless, the presented advanced clinical gantry design presents a complete beam transport solution for future laser-driven sources and shows the prospect and limitations of a compact laser-driven PT facility. Further development in the LAP-CERR is needed as it has the potential to utilize advanced beam controls from the ELPIS system and optimize doses on the basis of advanced dose schemes, like partial volume irradiation, to bring treatment times further down. To realize the gantry concept, further research, development and testing in higher field and higher (up to 10 Hz) repetition rate pulsed magnets to cater therapeutic proton beams is crucial.
