Prediction of recurrence free survival of head and neck cancer using PET/CT radiomics and clinical information [PDF]
The 5-year survival rate of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) has not improved over the past decade and one common cause of treatment failure is recurrence. In this paper, we built Cox proportional hazard (CoxPH) models that predict the recurrence free survival (RFS) of oropharyngeal HNC patients.

Soft-NeuroAdapt: A 3-DOF Neuro-Adaptive Patient Pose Correction System For Frameless and Maskless Cancer Radiotherapy [PDF]
Precise patient positioning is fundamental to successful removal of malignant tumors during treatment of head and neck cancers. Errors in patient positioning have been known to damage critical organs and cause complications. To better address issues of patient positioning and motion, we introduce a 3-DOF neuro-adaptive soft-robot, called Soft ...

Background Cisplatin- based chemoradiotherapy is a crucial pillar in the treatment of HNSCC. The use of cisplatin comes with high toxicity rates as 35% of patients cannot sustain the planned dose while response is unpredictable.

Survival Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer: Impact of Tumor and Patient Specific Characteristics [PDF]
Head and neck cancer accounts for almost 5% of all malignant tumors in the Netherlands. The most up‐todate Dutch Cancer Registry (NCR) database from 2009 reported 2878 new patients with an invasive carcinoma of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and ...

Enhanced Survival Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer Using Convolutional Block Attention and Multimodal Data Fusion [PDF]
Accurate survival prediction in head and neck cancer (HNC) is essential for guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment strategies. Traditional models, such as Cox proportional hazards, have been widely used but are limited in their ability to handle complex multi-modal data.
