Prognostic Value of Impaired Vocal Cord Mobility in T2N0 Glottic Cancer Treated With IMRT

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
T2N0M0 glottic cancers with impaired vocal cord mobility (VCM) have worse outcomes than T2N0M0 tumors with normal VCM, but still fare better than T3N0M0 disease. These findings support subdivision of T2 glottic cancer into T2a (normal VCM) and T2b (impaired VCM) in future TNM revisions.

Advances and Prospects of Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy: Evolving Paradigms in Precision Oncology

Med Research, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract outlines the progressive development and impact of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Technological Evolution illustrates the transition from brachytherapy with single‐dose, LDR/HDR schedules to fractionated radiotherapy, three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and Gamma Knife ...

An efficient and robust MRI-guided radiotherapy planning approach for targeting abdominal organs and tumours in the mouse.

PLoS ONE, 2017
IntroductionPreclinical CT-guided radiotherapy platforms are increasingly used but the CT images are characterized by poor soft tissue contrast. The aim of this study was to develop a robust and accurate method of MRI-guided radiotherapy (MR-IGRT ...
