Jan Alsner (Aarhus University Hospital)18/10/2012, 17:15Modulation of Radiosensitivityoral (invited speaker)Hypoxic tumours are associated with increased resistance to radiotherapy. In head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), this resistance can be counteracted via addition of hypoxic modification to the radiotherapy. Tumours are heterogeneous with respect to the degree and extend of hypoxia, and several methods have been developed to detect relevant tumour hypoxia. These include direct...Go to contribution page

Prof. Udo Gaipl (Department of Radiation Oncology, University Hospital Erlangen)18/10/2012, 17:45Modulation of Radiosensitivityoral (invited speaker)Hyperthermia (HT) has been shown in various cell culture, preclinical animal and clinical models to be a very potent radio- and chemosensitizer. Recent research suggests that local heating (41-43°C for 1 hour) of the tumour may lead to abscopal, systemic and immune stimulatory effects, since cancer cells can be rendered visible to the immune system by standard therapies either alone or in...Go to contribution page

Dr Nina F. Jeppesen Edin (University of Oslo)18/10/2012, 18:15Modulation of Radiosensitivityoral (20 minutes)We have previously found that protracting a priming dose of 0.3 Gy over 1 hour resulted in permanent elimination of low dose hyper radio-sensitivity (HRS) instead of the transient elimination by an acute priming with the same dose. The cells exposed to the low dose-rate priming secreted a factor into the medium, which removed HRS transiently in recipient cells. The factor could also be induced...Go to contribution page

Mr Sylvain FERRANDON (EMR3738-Cellular and Molecular Radiobiology Laboratory)18/10/2012, 18:55Modulation of Radiosensitivityoral (20 minutes)Despite a standard of care combining surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and Temozolomide chemotherapy, average. Glioblastoma patient survival is still less than one year. However, recent advances in molecular signalization profiling in glioblastoma have provided new targets for personalized medicine development and new irradiation techniques, such as carbon ion Hadrontherapy, are now available. The...Go to contribution page
