Abstract:
According to Leksell radiosurgery is defined as “the delivery of a single, high dose of irradiation to a small and critically located intracranial volume through the intact skull.” Before its birth in the early 60s and its introduction in clinical therapeutic protocols in late the 80s dose application in radiation therapy of the brain for benign and malignant lesions was based on the administration of cumulative dose into a variable number of fractions. The rationale of dose fractionation is to lessen the risk of injury of normal tissue surrounding the target volume. Radiobiological studies of cell culture lines of malignant tumors and clinical experience with patients treated with conventional fractionated radiotherapy helped establishing this radiobiological principle. Radiosurgery provides a single high dose of radiation which translates into a specific toxic radiobiological response. Radiobiological investigations to study the effect of high dose focused radiation on the central nervous system began in late the 50s. It is well known currently that radiobiological principles applied for dose fractionation are not reproducible when single high dose of ionizing radiation is delivered. A review of the literature about radiobiology of radiosurgery for the central nervous system is presented.

Abstract:
Four decades of genomic, cellular, animal and human data have shown that low-dose ionizing radiation stimulates positive genomic and cellular responses associated with effective cancer prevention and therapy and increased life span of mammals and humans. 1—8 Nevertheless, this data is questioned because it seems to contradict the well demonstrated linear relation between ionizing radiation dose and damage to DNA without providing a clear mechanistic explanation of how low-dose radiation could produce such beneficial effects. This apparent contradiction is dispelled by current radiobiology that now includes DNA damage both from ionizing radiation and from endogenous metabolic free radicals, and coupled with the biological response to low-dose radiation. Acceptance of current radiobiology would invalidate long established recommendations and regulations of worldwide radiation safety organizations and so destroy the basis of the very expensive existing system of regulation and remediation. More importantly, current radiobiology would facilitate urgently needed clinical trials of low dose radiation (LDR) cancer therapy.

Abstract:
✓Stereotactic radiosurgery is a neurosurgical modality in which a target lesion can be irradiated while sparing normal brain tissue. In some respects, brain metastasis is well suited for radiosurgery, as metastatic lesions tend to be small and well circumscribed and displace (but do not infiltrate) normal brain tissue, facilitating the delivery of radiation. Advances in stereotactic radiosurgical planning, such as blocking patterns and beam shaping, have allowed further targeting of discrete lesions while minimizing the effect of radiation toxicity on the central nervous system. In this paper the authors review the radiobiology of brain metastases and stereotactic radiosurgical approaches that can be used to treat these tumors safely.

Abstract:
L'objectif principal de cette thèse est de développer et optimiser les algorithmes caractérisant les propriétés physiques et biologiques des mini-faisceaux de protons pour la réalisation des traitements avec modulation d'intensité. Un modèle basé sur la superposition et décomposition des mini-faisceaux en faisceaux élémentaires a été utilisé. Un nouveau modèle de description des mini-faisceaux primaires a été développé à partir de la sommation de trois fonctions gaussiennes. Les algorithmes ont été intégrés dans un logiciel de planification de traitement, puis validés expérimentalement et par comparaison avec des simulations Monte Carlo. Des approximations ont été réalisées et validées afin de réduire les temps de calcul en vue d'une utilisation clinique. Dans un deuxième temps, un travail en collaboration avec les équipes de radiobiologie de l'institut Curie a été réalisé afin d'introduire des résultats radiobiologiques dans l'optimisation biologique des plans de traitement. En effet, les faisceaux balayés sont délivrés avec des débits de dose très élevés (de 10 à 100 Gy/s) et de façon discontinue, et l'efficacité biologique des protons est encore relativement méconnue vue la diversité d'utilisation de ces faisceaux : les différents modèles disponibles et notamment leur dépendance avec le transfert d'énergie linéique ont été étudiés. De bons accords (écarts inférieurs à 3 % et 2 mm) ont été obtenus entre calculs et mesures de dose. Un protocole d'expérimentation pour caractériser les effets des hauts débits pulsés a été mis en place et les premiers résultats obtenus sur une lignée cellulaire suggèrent des variations d'efficacité biologique inférieures à 10 %, avec toutefois de larges incertitudes
The main objective of this thesis is to develop and optimize algorithms for intensity modulated proton therapy, taking into account the physical and biological pencil beam properties. A model based on the summation and fluence weighted division of the pencil beams has been used. A new parameterization of the lateral dose distribution has been developed using a combination of three Gaussian functions. The algorithms have been implemented into a treatment planning system, then experimentally validated and compared with Monte Carlo simulations. Some approximations have been made and validated in order to achieve reasonable calculation times for clinical purposes. In a second phase, a collaboration with Institut Curie radiobiological teams has been started in order to implement radiobiological parameters and results into the optimization loop of the treatment planning process. Indeed, scanned pencil beams are pulsed and delivered at high dose rates (from 10 to 100 Gy/s), and the relative biological efficiency of protons is still relatively unknown given the wide diversity of use of these beams: the different models available and their dependence with linear energy transfers have been studied. A good agreement between dose calculations and measurements (deviations lower than 3 % and 2 mm) has been obtained. An experimental protocol has been set in order to qualify pulsed high dose rate effects and preliminary results obtained on one cell line suggested variations of the biological efficiency up to 10 %, though with large uncertainties

Abstract:
Hadron Therapy (HT) exploits properties of ion radiation to gain therapeutic advantages over existing photon-based forms of external radiation therapy. However, its relative superiority and cost-effectiveness have not been proven for all clinical situations. Establishing a robust evidence base for the development of best treatment practices is one of the major challenges for the field. This thesis investigates two research infrastructures for building this essential evidence. First, the thesis develops main components of a metadata-driven software architecture for the collection of clinical information and its analysis. This architecture acknowledges the diversity in the domain and supports data interoperability by sharing information models. Their compliance to common metamodels guarantees that primary data and analysis results can be interpreted outside of the immediate production context. This is a fundamental necessity for all aspects of the evidence creation process. A metamodel of data capture forms is developed with unique properties to support data collection and documentation in this architecture. The architecture's potential to support complex analysis processes is demonstrated with the help of a novel metamodel for Markov model based simulations, as used for the synthesis of evidence in health-economic assessments. The application of both metamodels is illustrated on the example of HT. Since the biological effect of particle radiation is a major source of uncertainty in HT, in its second part, this thesis undertakes first investigations towards a new research facility for bio-medical experiments with ion beams. It examines the feasibility of upgrading LEIR, an existing accelerator at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), with a new slow extraction and investigates transport of the extracted beam to future experiments. Possible configurations for the slow-resonant extraction process are identified, and designs for horizontal and vertical beam transport lines developed. The results of these studies indicate future research directions towards a new ion beam facility for biomedical research.

Within the range of the Virtual Biophysics Lab tumour growth numerical simulator, this work aims to develop a mathematical model able to describe the cell cycle desynchronization observed in the cell populations and the effects of DNA damage and repair due to ionizing radiation. Following a review of the already available models, some other original ones are proposed; one of these has been also tested on tumour cells by means of cytometry: the results of the related data analysis are not yet conclusive.
Nell'ambito del simulatore numerico di crescita tumorale Virtual Biophysics Lab, questo lavoro mira a sviluppare un modello matematico adatto a descrivere la desincronizzazione cellulare osservata nelle popolazioni cellulari e gli effetti del danno e riparazione del DNA indotti da radiazioni ionizzanti. A seguito di una recensione dei modelli già esistenti, ne vengono proposti alcuni altri originali; uno di questi è stato anche testato su cellule tumorali attraverso la citofluorimetria: i risultati della relativa analisi dati non sono ancora decisivi.

AbstractThe atoms are built up of a nucleus, containing positive (protons) and neutral (neutrons) particles, surrounded by negative particles (electrons), circulating around the “atomic orbit”. The number of the protons in the nucleus is giving the atomic number of the element (usually labelled as “Z”), and the sum of the neutrons and protons in the nucleus is giving the atomic or mass number of the element (usually labelled as “A”). The number in the electrons in the atomic orbit is always equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. However, as the mass of the electrons is almost equal to zero, they do not influence the whole atomic mass.

Abstract:
We have an ongoing project using ultrasoft x-rays as a tool to investigate the mechanisms of radiation-induced damage in biological systems. The data which are derived from these studies are used to test the assumptions of current models of the biological and chemical mechanisms of radiation damage. In principle, refinement of these models should aid in the extrapolation of biological data obtained at high radiation doses to the low-dose region. Basic mechanistic data may also improve our understanding of the therapeutic application of radiation in the treatment of cancer. Soft x-rays are particularly attractive for these studies because they deposit their energy over nanometer-scale dimensions, comparable to the size of critical target structures within mammalian cells. For example, 0.28 keV characteristic x-rays from carbon generate photoelectrons which deposit all of their energy over a range of 7 nm, comparable to the dimensions of DNA strands (2-3 nm) and DNA-histone complexes (10 nm). Thus, these radiations serve as very precise probes of the energy deposition and lesion interaction requirements for biological damage.
