Fully automatic catheter segmentation in MRI with 3D convolutional neural networks: application to MRI-guided gynecologic brachytherapy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2019
External-beam radiotherapy followed by high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is the standard-of-care for treating gynecologic cancers. The enhanced soft-tissue contrast provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) makes it a valuable imaging modality for ...

Prostate brachytherapy [PDF]

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 1998
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of centres, especially in the USA, using prostate brachytherapy as a means of treating localised prostate cancer. Several centres now have medium term follow up data of large numbers of patients treated with this technique suggesting that outcome in terms of tumour control may be comparable to ...

Artificial intelligence contouring in radiotherapy for organs-at-risk and lymph node areas

Radiation Oncology
Introduction The delineation of organs-at-risk and lymph node areas is a crucial step in radiotherapy, but it is time-consuming and associated with substantial user-dependent variability in contouring.

Controlling Release Kinetics of an Adjuvant from a Depot Improves the Efficacy of Local Immunotherapy in Metastatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that intratumoral release of an immunotherapy—CpG —can be tuned with molecular precision by complexing it to an elastin‐like polypeptide (ELP). Injecting ELP‐CpG and an excipient ELP into tumors drives thermally‐triggered phase separation into a micro‐scale “sponge” depot that releases CpG at rates depending on the ELP composition, which ...

Emerging Strategies for Platelet‐Modified Nanoparticles in Targeted Tumor Therapy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights innovative strategies using platelet‐modified nanoparticles to target tumors more precisely. By mimicking platelet functions, these biomimetic carriers improve tumor homing, enhance drug delivery, and reduce immune clearance.
