3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Use of ultrasound in image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy: enumerations and arguments

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017
Inherently, brachytherapy is the most conformal radiotherapeutic technique. As an aid to brachytherapy, ultrasonography (USG) serves as a portable, inexpensive, and simple to use method allowing for accurate, reproducible, and adaptive treatments.

Deep Learning and Machine Learning Algorithms for Cervical Cancer Segmentation on MRI: A Systematic Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This systematic review summarizes current evidence on machine and deep learning algorithms for MRI‐based cervical cancer segmentation, demonstrating promising diagnostic performance and potential for workflow automation. However, methodological heterogeneity, limited external validation, and low certainty of evidence highlight the need for standardized

A Brief Review of Low-Dose Rate (LDR) and High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy Boost for High-Risk Prostate

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
For patients with unfavorable or high-risk prostate cancer, dose escalated radiation therapy leads to improved progression free survival but attempts to deliver increased dose by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone can be limited by late ...

Pelvic Exenteration for Cervical Cancer: Oncological, Morbidity and Quality of Life Outcomes

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives One third of patients who undergo definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer develop disease recurrence. Salvage surgery in the form of pelvic exenteration (PE) may offer improved survival and possibly cure in carefully selected patients, however robust data is scarce.

The Choice Between Definitive Radiotherapy and Surgery for Cervical Cancer With Different Histology in Current Clinical Practice

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For cervical cancer, the choice between definitive radiotherapy (RT) and surgery has long been a topic of debate. Clinical factors, including histology and tumor burden, have been examined in prior studies. Given recent advances in RT and the incorporation of concurrent chemotherapy, our study seeks to assess the optimal treatment modality for
