The Changes in Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscles Related to Head and Neck Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2020
It is well known that radiation damage of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles, the glottic larynx, and the supraglottic larynx may lead to dysphagia, an unwanted effect of head and neck radiotherapy.

Evaluation of the effect of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system in adaptive radiotherapy (ART) lung plans

Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences
Background: Target volume and healthy lung tissue changes during radiotherapy may effect lung tissue-toxicity for patients with lung cancer. Shrinkage or upsizing of the tumor size may be seen during the course of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
