STUDY PROTOCOL: OPTIMISING PATIENT POSITIONING FOR THE PLANNING OF ACCELERATED PARTIAL BREAST RADIOTHERAPY FOR THE INTEGRATED MAGNETIC RESONANCE LINEAR ACCELERATOR: OPRAH MRL

Study protocol: Optimising patient positioning for the planning of accelerated partial breast radiotherapy for the integrated magnetic resonance linear accelerator: OPRAH MRL

Abstract Background Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is an accepted treatment option for early breast cancer.Treatment delivered on the Magnetic Resonance integrated Linear Accelerator (MRL) provides the added assurance of improved soft tissue visibility, important in the delivery of APBI.This technique can be delivered in both the sup

Near-Infrared Light Irradiation of Porphyrin-Modified Gold Nanoparticles Promotes Cancer-Cell-Specific Cytotoxicity

The use of nanoparticles has been investigated as a new cancer treatment.These can induce specific cytotoxicity in cancer cells.In particular, Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique characteristics.The maximum absorption spectrum of AuNPs can be adjusted to modify their size or shape to absorb near-infrared light that can penetrate into tissue withou
