Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Studies on deep learning dose prediction increasingly focus on 3D models with multiple input channels and data augmentation, which increases the training time and thus also the environmental burden and hampers the ease of re‐training. Here we compare 2D and 3D U‐Net models with clinical accepted plans to evaluate the appropriateness of

Pharyngeal and Cervical Cancer Incidences Significantly Correlate with Personal UV Doses Among Whites in the United States [PDF]
, 2014 Because we found UV-exposed oral tissue cells have reduced DNA repair and apoptotic cell death compared with skin tissue cells, we asked if a correlation existed between personal UV dose and the incidences of oral and pharyngeal cancer in the United ...

Linking type 2 diabetes and gynecological cancer: An introductory overview [PDF]
, 2018 Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease with a growing prevalence and a leading cause of death in many countries. Several epidemiological studies observed an association between T2D and increased risk of many types of cancer, such as gynecologic ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The Bravos v1.2 control software introduces a ring applicator component type (ACT) with channel length verification to address geometric characteristics and dosimetric discrepancies caused by source positioning inaccuracies. This study aims to commission the ring applicator and investigate the new ring ACT in Bravos 1.2.

A Novel Automation-Assisted Cervical Cancer Reading Method Based on Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 While most previous automation-assisted reading methods can improve efficiency, their performance often relies on the success of accurate cell segmentation and hand-craft feature extraction. This paper presents an efficient and totally segmentation-free method for automated cervical cell screening that utilizes modern object detector to directly detect

Choice, morality and vulnerability : young women's discourses of cervical screening : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Psychology (endorsement in Health Psychology) at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 Cervical screening is a health surveillance tool used to prevent cervical cancer. In New Zealand, research into cervical screening has largely focused on barriers to participation.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Due to the tight curvature in their design, ring applicators are usually associated with large positioning errors. The standard practice to correct for these deviations based on global offsets may not be sufficient to comply with the recommended tolerance.
