Adaptive Management of Liver Cancer Radiotherapy [PDF]

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2010
Adaptive radiation therapy for liver cancer has the potential to reduce normal tissue complications and enable dose escalation, allowing the potential for tumor control in this challenging site. Using adaptive techniques to tailor treatment margins to reflect patient-specific breathing motions and image-guidance techniques can reduce the high dose ...

Pelvic stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) reirradiation: UK SABR consortium guidance for use in routine clinical care

Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology
Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is routinely used for the management of oligometastatic disease. Increasingly, there is overlap of targets or organs at risk with previous radiotherapy fields.

STAT-ART: The Promise and Practice of a Rapid Palliative Single Session of MR-Guided Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART)

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
This work describes a novel application of MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgoART) in the management of patients whom urgent palliative care is indicated using statum-adaptive radiotherapy (STAT-ART). The implementation of STAT-ART, as performed

Use of radiobiological modeling in treatment plan evaluation and optimization of prostate cancer radiotherapy [PDF]

, 2011
There are many tools available that are used to evaluate a radiotherapy treatment plan, such as isodose distribution charts, dose volume histograms (DVH), maximum, minimum and mean doses of the dose distributions as well as DVH point dose constraints ...

Adaptive Radiotherapy: Next-Generation Radiotherapy

Cancers
Radiotherapy, a crucial technique in cancer therapy, has traditionally relied on the premise of largely unchanging patient anatomy during the treatment course and encompassing uncertainties by target margins. This review introduces adaptive radiotherapy (ART), a notable innovation that addresses anatomy changes and optimizes the therapeutic ratio.

Adaptive Radiotherapy Enabled by MRI Guidance [PDF]

Clinical Oncology, 2018
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) strategies systematically monitor variations in target and neighbouring structures to inform treatment-plan modification during radiotherapy. This is necessary because a single plan designed before treatment is insufficient to capture the actual dose delivered to the target and adjacent critical structures during the course ...
