Abstract:
Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a so far preclinical method in radiation oncology, modulates treatment doses on a micrometre scale. MRT uses treatment fields with a few ten micrometre wide high dose regions (peaks) separated by a few hundred micrometre wide low dose regions (valleys) and was shown to spare tissue much more effectively than conventional radiation therapy at similar tumour control rates. While preclinical research focused primarily on tumours of the central nervous system, rece...     »
