Pulse‑level characterization of low monitor unit deliveries on a modern linear accelerator using a plastic scintillation detector

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Variability in low monitor unit (MU) deliveries has been previously documented, but the underlying pulse‑level behavior has not been fully described due to the integrating nature of most conventional detectors. A plastic scintillation detector (PSD) enables direct visualization of MU microstructure by isolating individual linac ...

Real‐time motion tracking of a gold implant in water by Cherenkov lights

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background The intra‐fraction motion of tumors during radiation therapy can be monitored using imaging systems based on X‐ray imaging (e.g., kV/MV radiography or CBCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these techniques have limitations, including additional ionizing radiation dose and the need for complex, expensive equipment ...

Development and evaluation of an automated report‐based chart checking tool in external beam radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Computerized radiotherapy chart checking tools have revolutionized the initial physics chart review process as they offer verification of large amounts of plan parameters in seconds and allow physicists to concentrate on high‐skill‐level items that are challenging for automation.

An integrated toolkit for structure generation, optimization, and evaluation in spatially fractionated radiation therapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Purpose Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) planning requires three coordinated tasks: generation of high‐dose sphere structures, position‐aware optimization, and peak‐valley dose ratio evaluation. In practice, clinicians and researchers address these tasks with a combination of closed‐source scripts, research codes, and manual ...

Same‐day Hyaluronic Acid rectal spacer for TRUS‐guided HDR Prostate Brachytherapy: Feasibility and dosimetric outcomes

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Rectal spacers are widely used to reduce rectal dose in prostate radiotherapy. However, their use during transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐guided high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been limited by degradation of ultrasound image quality when placed on the day of the procedure, often necessitating CT‐based planning or separate‐day ...

Impact of Multimodal Oncological Therapy on Survival and Local Control in Unresectable Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted multimodal oncological therapy in patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) presenting with obstructive jaundice, particularly those with the nodular‐infiltrating morphological type.

Watch and Wait Strategy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Update From Results of Recent Clinical Trials

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. Currently, despite growing recognition of personalized medicine, systematic risk stratification and full incorporation of patient preferences for anal preservation and treatment tolerance remain challenging in some clinical settings.

Creation of a Retinoblastoma Registry in a Resource‐Limited Country in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common ocular tumor in young children, originating from the developing retina, with the burden remaining higher in regions of low socio‐demographic index. A registry of RB is essential for creating effective referral networks for evaluating treatment patterns and contributing to the global pool of ...
