Patient‐Reported Dysphagia and Swallowing‐Related Quality of Life up to 10 Years After (Chemo)radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 733-746, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background This study sought to better understand patient‐reported dysphagia and swallowing‐related quality of life (swQOL) in patients 6 months to 10 years following definitive (chemo)radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). Methods In this cross‐sectional study, self‐reported dysphagia was assessed with the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT‐10)

Optimization of spatiotemporally fractionated radiotherapy treatments with bounds on the achievable benefit

, 2017
Spatiotemporal fractionation schemes, that is, treatments delivering different dose distributions in different fractions, may lower treatment side effects without compromising tumor control.

Outcome and Toxicity Profile of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Adrenal Tumours in Dogs

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 150-159, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has become a non‐invasive alternative option for canine adrenal tumours with high surgical risks; however, its clinical benefits and risks are still to be fully understood. The goal of this multi‐institutional retrospective study was to describe the clinical outcome and safety of SBRT for the ...

Brain Dose–Volume Thresholds and Survival in Dogs With Intracranial Tumours Treated With the 10 × 4 Gy Radiotherapy Schedule: A Combined Analysis of Two Trials

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 177-185, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Dogs with intracranial tumours routinely receive radiotherapy, yet species‐specific dose–volume constraints for normal brain tissue remain undefined. In human radiation oncology, exceeding certain brain dose–volume thresholds markedly increases the risk of radiation‐induced injury (e.g., radionecrosis).

Checklist and quality assurance tools for integration of two radiation oncology information systems (ROISs)

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Merging two radiation oncology information systems (ROISs) is often necessary due to system changes or hospital integrations. ROIS integration is a high‐risk procedure, that requires clear procedural guidelines and comprehensive QA methods to ensure safe practice.

Optimizing breast and chest wall treatment planning: Integrating dynamic collimator rotation with static‐angle modulated ports in VMAT radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Purpose RapidArc Dynamic (RAD) integrates static‐angle modulated ports (STAMPs) and a dynamic collimator into arc delivery. The optimal use of RAD, including the ideal number of STAMPs, the best use of the dynamic collimator, and the ideal relative weighting between arc and STAMPs, has yet to be reported.

A feasibility study of functional preservation in craniospinal irradiation with photon for pediatric medulloblastoma

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is essential for treating pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) but causes significant long‐term toxicities. Existing dose‐reduction or partial‐sparing strategies improve neurocognitive outcomes but may compromise survival or fail to address other late effects.

A prospective hazard analysis of real‐time adaptive helical tomotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Following the release in 2016 of the report of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 100, there has been growing interest in the use of prospective hazard analysis in radiation therapy. System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is an emerging technique in this domain that is particularly suited to processes ...

Sentinel Lymph‐Node Biopsy Guided Neck Dissection Versus Elective Neck Dissection in the Management of Early‐Stage Oral Cancer—A Cost‐Utility Analysis

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to assess the incremental cost per quality‐adjusted‐life‐year (QALY) gained in treating patients with early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) guided neck dissection. Methods A Markov model was created to simulate disease‐free survival, recurrence, and overall survival in a ...
