Radiotherapy planning
Kumpová, Ivana ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
The task of this thesis is to familiarize readers with the basics of the problem of ionizing radiation from its types and resources, through mechanisms of action and its effects on the human organism, to the possibility of calculating various characteristics. Close attention is paid to the use of ionizing radiation in medical approaches. There is in detail described process of radiotherapy planning and a basic properties of planning systems. Part of the thesis is also program RT-Plan processed in Matlab. The program simulates the planning system for external ionizing radiation therapy used in treatment. There is supplemented a detailed help and series of tests for the plan. It is suitable for possible use in teaching.

Radiation therapy of non-melanoma-type skin tumors
MENCLOVÁ, Lucie
Skin tumors of non-melanoma type (particularly basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer) include a large and important group of malignant lesions. Their incidence in human population has been steadily increasing. The current treatment modalities include surgical excision and radiation therapy. The advantages of radiation include the ease of application, pain-free administration and excellent cosmetic result. The goal of radiotherapy is a homogeneous dose distribution in the entire volume of target tissue. This distribution is affected by a choice of particular radiation criteria, which are individually selected for each patient undergoing radiation. The choice of a particular technique of radiation is affected by a number of factors such as microscopic findings, tumor localization, TNM classification, etc. Analysis of data collected in a group of patients treated by radiation at the Department of Radiation Therapy and Oncology FNKV during the period from 2001 to 2006 showed, that there has been a steady rise in incidence of these non-melanoma skin tumors. This confirms the importance of this topic.
