A simple nonlinear model for showing the importance of chronobiology in radiotherapy
26.02.2024 r., at 13.00, room 102 building A18.
We analyze a simple nonlinear model describing the population dynamics of cancerous, healthy, and effector cells submitted to ionizing radiation. We examine the situations in which intermittently high doses of radiation affect the cells as it occurs in radiotherapy. The practical aspects of the work are based on standard quantities of radiotherapy protocols, which are used to characterize situations that optimize healthy cell survival and enhance the effectiveness of a radiotherapy treatment by adjusting the temporal pattern of the dose deliverance.
