GPU-based ultra-fast direct aperture optimization for online adaptive radiation therapy

, 2010
Online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) has great promise to significantly reduce normal tissue toxicity and/or improve tumor control through real-time treatment adaptations based on the current patient anatomy.

Disparities in Proton Radiation Utilization for HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer Following TORS

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities in receipt of proton radiation have been reported. Whether disparities exist for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is not well studied. Methods Patients with HPV‐associated OPSCC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and adjuvant radiation from 2016 to 2023 were

Oncological Outcomes of Salvage Oropharyngectomy in Irradiated Neck for Recurrent or Metachronous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate oncological outcomes and their predictors following salvage oropharyngectomy. Methods This single‐center retrospective study included patients who underwent a salvage oropharyngectomy in an irradiated neck for recurrent or metachronous oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) between 2014 and 2023.

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.

Optimizing the integration of modern systemic therapies and advanced radiotherapy techniques in breast cancer management: An expert opinion from the Institut Curie Breast Radiotherapy Group

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract The integration of modern systemic therapies with radiotherapy (RT) represents a promising strategy in breast cancer management, enhancing both locoregional control and systemic disease outcomes. This expert consensus from the Institut Curie Breast Radiotherapy Group focuses exclusively on modern systemic agents, synthesizing current evidence ...

Transition from 3D conformal to modern modulated craniospinal radiotherapy

South African Journal of Oncology, 2022
Background: Achieving optimal tumour coverage during craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is a challenge. Whilst several critical organs are at risk of radiation-induced toxicity, if target volume structures like the cribriform plate receive less than 95% of ...

Dosimetric comparison between IMRT and VMAT in irradiation for peripheral and central lung cancer

Oncology Letters, 2018
The aim of the present study was to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in irradiation of lung cancer. Plans of 14 patients were compared.

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 ...
