The role of radiologist assistant in the diagnostics and therapy ofbreast cancer
Zavřelová, Martina ; Jirkovská, Michaela (advisor) ; Malinová, Běla (referee)
Bachelor thesis "The role of radiological assistant in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer". The work is composed of five main parts and several subparts. The first part deals with the description of anatomy of female breast. The second part is devoted to the classification of breast tumors and includes risk factors for the emergence of breast cancer. The following section is devoted to the diagnosis of breast cancer. Diagnosis includes mammography, breast ultrasound, duktography, mammography stereotax, breast magnetic resonance, CT and breast mammoscintigraphy. The most important for radiological assistant is mammography. The fourth part is about the treatment of malignant tumors especially carcinoma. These include surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and brachytherapy. The greatest emphasis is placed on radiotherapy, chemotherapy and brachytherapy, where the X-ray assistant applies. The last part of the work is devoted to the prevention of breast cancer. Prevention includes clinical examination, self-examination and mammography screening. The work is also supplemented by images and a list of the used materials. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus intensity modulated radiotherapy in the treatment of head and neck carcinoma
Jirkovská, Michaela ; Lohynská, Radka (advisor) ; Pála, Miloslav (referee) ; Mrzena, Lubor (referee)
The treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC) requires a multimodality approach. Radiotherapy with combination of chemotherapy has demonstrated to be effective, however, the treatment intensification leads to increased toxicity at the same time. The implementation of "three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy" (3D-CRT) allowed to irradiate the treatment volume more precisely with better surrounding healthy tissue sparing. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) facilitated higher conformity in dose shaping to target volume. IMRT with simultaneous integrated boost (IMRT-SIB) offered the possibility to deliver individualized dose levels within one fraction and enabled escalation of the dose per fraction and radiotherapy acceleration. The aim of our study was to compare the technique of 3D-CRT and IMRT-SIB in the treatment of LAHNC and evaluate the treatment outcome and the treatment-related toxicity. 262 patients in 3D-CRT group and 263 patients in IMRT-SIB group underwent the radical treatment for LAHNC between 1/1998 and 12/2016. No statistically significant differences in locoregional control (LCR) and overall survival (OS) were found between the two groups. Acute toxicity and xerostomia were significantly reduced in patients treated with IMRT-SIB. IMRT-SIB is a safe radiotherapy...

The role of the radiological assistant in the radiotherapy of prostate cancer
Macháček, Jan ; Jirkovská, Michaela (referee) ; Malinová, Běla (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis "The Role of the Radiological Assistant in the Radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer" deals with a malignant disease of prostate which represents the most common type of cancer of adult men. In preface of my work, I concentrate on anatomy and function of prostate, epidemiology, disease symptoms and I so describe the way of diagnosis (PSA, DRE, TRUS, biopsy, radioisotopic scintigraphy, CT, MR and cystoscopy) here. The extent of tumour (staging) and clinical stage of disease (TNM classification, level of tumour differentiation) are very important at prostate cancer too. In realm of the curative strategy, I write about the surgical treatment, the possibility of radiotherapy, and about the hormonal treatment and the chemotherapy in the end. Especially I want to remark a daily working content of the radiological assistant at workplace of the radiological oncology (localization, planning CT examination, contouring, radiotherapy plan simulation, daily patient positioning and irradiation on linear accelerator) and equipment needed to radiation therapy (simulator, planning CT scanner, linear accelerator). In the end of my work I concentrate on the prognosis of prostate carcinoma and why it is important to do the preventive examination (screening) of this disease. The Faculty Library, Hospital Motol...
