A multicentre observational study evaluating image-guided radiotherapy for more accurate partial-breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy: comparison with standard imaging technique

Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation, 2014
Background: Whole-breast radiotherapy (WBRT) is the standard treatment for breast cancer following breast-conserving surgery. Evidence shows that tumour recurrences occur near the original cancer: the tumour bed.

Post-Prostatectomy Image-Guided Radiotherapy: The Invisible Target Concept

Frontiers in Oncology, 2017
In the era of intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) appears crucial to control dose delivery and to promote dose escalation while allowing healthy tissue sparing.

The effect and stability of MVCT images on adaptive TomoTherapy. [PDF]

, 2010
Use of helical TomoTherapy-based MVCT imaging for adaptive planning is becoming increasingly popular. Treatment planning and dose calculations based on MVCT require an image value to electron density calibration to remain stable over the course of ...

IGRT and motion management during lung SBRT delivery [PDF]

Physica Medica, 2017
Patient motion can cause misalignment of the tumour and toxicities to the healthy lung tissue during lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Any deviations from the reference setup can miss the target and have acute toxic effects on the patient with consequences onto its quality of life and survival outcomes.

Cost of Serious Infections in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The economic burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is high, and is projected to increase with the introduction of new targeted treatments and improved survival. These high costs are not only associated with anticancer treatment, but also with the treatment and prevention of CLL symptoms and adverse events.

Association of blood IgG with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukemiaResearch in context

EBioMedicine, 2018
The intrinsic humoral immunodeficiency of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is often managed with immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) to maintain IgG levels in the low-normal range (6–8 g/L) but optimal targets for IgG and timing to commence IgRT ...

Photobiomodulation and Radio‐Epithelitis in Anal Carcinoma: A Case‐Report and Clinical Reflection on Emerging Preventive and Supportive Care Modalities

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Radio‐induced dermatitis, a frequent adverse effect of radiation therapy, is particularly prevalent in patients treated for anal margin carcinoma. It may present with varying severity, causing significant pain and impairment of daily mobility, influenced by both patient‐related factors and treatment regimens.

Evaluation of uterine ultrasound imaging in cervical radiotherapy; a comparison of autoscan and conventional probe [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: In cervical radiotherapy, it is essential that the uterine position is correctly determined prior to treatment delivery. The aim of this study was to evaluate an autoscan ultrasound (A-US) probe, a motorized transducer creating three ...

Problems and solutions in IGRT for cervical cancer [PDF]

Reports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy, 2018
The contribution of Image-guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) to modern radiotherapy is undeniable, being the way to bring into daily practice the dosimetric benefits of Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). Organ and target motion is constant and unpredictable at the pelvis, thus posing a challenge to the safe execution of IMRT. There are potential benefits
