Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of Previously Unirradiated Mucosal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in previously untreated primary mucosal head and neck cancer (HNC) patients unfit for conventional radiation therapy. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of previously unirradiated primary SCC mucosal HNC patients treated with SBRT from 2011 to ...

Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long‐term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship—care before, during, and after treatment—remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emerging evidence to inform contemporary dental survivorship care for HNC

A robust approach to IMRT optimization [PDF]

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2006
Managing uncertainty is a major challenge in radiation therapy treatment planning, including uncertainty induced by intrafraction motion, which is particularly important for tumours in the thorax and abdomen. Common methods to account for motion are to introduce a margin or to convolve the static dose distribution with a motion probability density ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

Study on the transferability of the knowledge-based VMAT model to predict IMRT plans in prostate cancer radiotherapy

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of VMAT library-derived model transfer in the prediction of IMRT plans by dosimetry comparison among with three groups of IMRT plans: two groups of automatic IMRT plans generated by the ...
