What is the Radiation Therapy
รงัสท่ีีใชร้กัษาได้แก่ รงัสเีอกซ์ รงัสแีกมมา นิวตรอน และพวกอนุภาคต่างๆ สว่นใหญ่แล้วมกันิยม ใชร้งัสี
แกมมาจากเครื่องโคบอลต์-60 รงัสเีอกซพ์ลังงานสงู จากเครื่องเรง่อนุภาค และนิยมใชอ้นุภาคอิเล็กตรอน รกัษาบรเิวณพื้นผิวต้ืน ๆ การเลือกชนิดและพลังงาน ของรงัสรีกัษา ต้องพจิารณาลักษณะรูปรา่ง ตลอดจนตำาแหน่งท่ีตัง้ของก้อนมะเรง็
Types of radiation
1. Electromagnetic Radiation 1.1 รงัสเีอกซ์ (x-rays) source : high energy x-ray
equipments
1.2 รงัสแีกมมา (gamma-rays) :radioactive isotopes nucleus
2. Particle Radiation:Linear Accelerator 2.1 อนุภาคอิเล็กตรอน (Electrons)
2.2 อนุภาคอ่ืน ๆ เชน่ โปรตรอน(Photons)
How does radiation kill cells?
Relative radiosensitivity of common animal tumours
response Type of tumors
High Lymphoproliferative disordersMyeloproliferative disordersTransmissible venereal tumourMast cell tumours (variable)
Sensitive Squamous cell carcinomaBasal cell carcinomaAdenocarcinoma (various)
Moderate Oral melanoma
low FibrosarcomaOsteosarcomaChondrosarcomaHaemangiopericytoma
Radiation therapy and Biological response of tumor and normal tissue
Relative radiosensitivity of normal animal tissue
How radiation dose is measured?
The Absorbed dose :Gray(Gy)= SI unit1Gray(Gy)=1joule(j) of energy absorbed by 1
kg tissue1Gray(Gy)=100 Rad1Rad =100ergs/g
1 Fraction =Individual radiation treatment dose
Total dose= Fraction X Time of RT treatment.

2.Combined Radiation and Systemic therapy
Preoperative irradiation
Intraoperative irradiation
Postoperative irradiation
Chemotherapy: Synergistically improve Doxorubicin Carboplatin Gemcitabine Paclitaxel
are all shown to improve the effects of radiation Adjuvant chemotherapy Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Immunotherapy Melanoma vaccine
Combined Radiation with Other modalities
