Dosimetric Advantage of Combined IMRT for Whole Lung and Abdomen Irradiation for Wilms Tumor

Advances in Radiation Oncology
Purpose: In patients with Wilms tumor with lung metastases, a cardiac-sparing intensity modulated radiation therapy (CS-IMRT) technique is increasingly being adopted for whole lung irradiation.

Three-Dimensional Dose Prediction for Lung IMRT Patients with Deep Neural Networks: Robust Learning from Heterogeneous Beam Configurations

, 2019
The use of neural networks to directly predict three-dimensional dose distributions for automatic planning is becoming popular. However, the existing methods only use patient anatomy as input and assume consistent beam configuration for all patients in ...

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.

Radiotherapy‐Induced Otitis Media With Effusion in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis of eight studies comprising 582 NPC patients provides the first quantitative synthesis of radiotherapy‐induced otitis media with effusion (OME), demonstrating a significant overall risk difference of 0.18 (95% CI: −0.06 to 0.42, p < 0.0001) in OME naive ears.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy and arc therapy: validation and evolution as applied to tumours of the head and neck, abdominal and pelvic regions [PDF]

, 2006
Intensiteitsgemoduleerde radiotherapie (IMRT) laat een betere controle over de dosisdistributie (DD) toe dan meer conventionele bestralingstechnieken. Zo is het met IMRT mogelijk om concave DDs te bereiken en om de risico-organen conformeel uit te sparen.

Beam Orientation Optimization for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy using Adaptive l1 Minimization

, 2011
Beam orientation optimization (BOO) is a key component in the process of IMRT treatment planning. It determines to what degree one can achieve a good treatment plan quality in the subsequent plan optimization process.

Impact of Intraprostatic Simultaneous Integrated Boost on Long‐Term Outcomes in Unfavorable Intermediate‐Risk Prostate Cancer Treated With Dose‐Escalated Radiotherapy and Short‐Term Androgen Deprivation Therapy

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unfavorable intermediate‐risk prostate cancer (UIR‐PCa) represents a biologically heterogeneous subgroup with a higher risk of recurrence compared with favorable intermediate‐risk disease. Contemporary management frequently includes dose‐escalated radiotherapy (RT) combined with short‐term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Whether

Timing for Radiotherapy Initiation After Dental Extraction and Risk of Osteoradionecrosis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients are advised to undergo dental extraction of teeth with poor prognosis prior to radiotherapy (RT) initiation to prevent osteoradionecrosis (ORN). However, insufficient healing time may result in persistent extraction wounds during RT, which constitute a potential risk factor for ORN, whereas ...
