In vitro modelling of androgen-mediated gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Radiation Therapy, 2012)Gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy has the potential to improve prostate cancer therapy outcome and could be used on its own or as an adjuvant to the current treatments. This research involved the characterisation of a ... -
DNA mismatch repair and low dose hyper-radiosensitivity in prostate cancer cells
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Radiation Therapy, 2010)Low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) describes the excessive sensitivity of cells to radiation doses less than 0.3Gy. Evidence suggests that HRS may influence tumour response and normal tissue reactions after intensity ... -
Radiation oncology safety information system (ROSIS) : a reporting and learning system for radiation oncology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Radiation Therapy, 2011)Background and Purpose: Incident reporting is a recognised tool for learning from incidents. The Radiation Oncology Safety Information System (ROSIS) was established in 2001, to collate and share information on incidents ... -
A promising set of candidate biomarkers of radioresistant prostate cancer
(Trinity College Dublin.School of Medicine.RADIATION THERAPY, 2016)Radiotherapy (RT) has a prominent role when used as a single modality or in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in the management of prostate cancer (CaP) patients. However, even with currently available high-dose ... -
Clinical potential of boron neutron capture therapy for locally recurrent inoperable previously irradiated head and neck cancer.
(2015)This review compares the safety and efficacy of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in the treatment of previously irradiated, inoperable locoregional recurrent HNC patients and compares BNCT against the standard treatment ... -
Hypoxic Tumor Kinase Signaling Mediated by STAT5A in Development of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(2013)In this study, we hypothesized that androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer, although initially efficient, induces changes in the tumor kinome, which subsequently promote development of castration-resistant ... -
Current and Future Trends in the Management of Gastrointestinal Cancers
(2013)The Study Day was aimed at frontline radiotherapy staff who interact with gastrointestinal patients on a daily basis. The aim was to inform participants of the current and future practice in diagnosis, management and ... -
Clinical Oral Examinations: Assessment of Competency in Radiation Therapy
(2009)Matching assessment strategies to learning outcomes in radiation therapy education is of the utmost importance. Assessing clinical competence requires that `competence? be clearly defined prior to the start of any clinical ... -
Radiation Therapists role in support patients in Radiation Oncology Departments
(2009-03-11)Despite advances in medical technology, cancer is still one of the leading causes of death globally, leaving many patients to deal with the emotional and psychological aspects associated with cancer and its treatment ...
