Fully automated radiotherapy treatment planning: A scan to plan challenge

Radiotherapy and Oncology
Over the past decade, tools for automation of various sub-tasks in radiotherapy planning have been introduced, such as auto-contouring and auto-planning. The purpose of this study was to benchmark what degree of automation is possible.A challenge to perform automated treatment planning for prostate and prostate bed radiotherapy was set up.

Beyond the Document: A Single‐Center Qualitative Study of Survivorship Care Plan Barriers and Opportunities Across Pediatric Oncology Stakeholders

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

A volume-controlled, anatomy-driven autoplanning strategy for whole-pelvic volumetric modulated arc therapy

Frontiers in Oncology
Background and purposeWhole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) involves volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning that requires careful consideration of target coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing.

A plan template‐based automation solution using a commercial treatment planning system [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2020
AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to develop an auto‐planning platform to be interfaced with a commercial treatment planning system (TPS). The main goal was to obtain robust and high‐quality plans for different anatomic sites and various dosimetric requirements.MethodsMonaco (Elekta, St. Louis, US) was the TPS in this work.

Automated contouring and planning pipeline for hippocampal-avoidant whole-brain radiotherapy

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) remains an important treatment for over 200,000 cancer patients in the United States annually. Hippocampal-avoidant WBRT (HA-WBRT) reduces neurocognitive toxicity compared to standard WBRT, but HA-WBRT ...

Fully automated volumetric modulated arc therapy planning for locally advanced rectal cancer: feasibility and efficiency

Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has emerged as a promising technique, but the planning process can be time-consuming and dependent on planner expertise.

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...
