The Prognostic Value of EDRIC and Its Association With Radiation‐Induced Lymphopenia in Patients With Esophageal Cancer Undergoing Radical Radiotherapy: A Single‐Center Chinese Study

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the estimated dose of radiation to immune cells (EDRIC) in patients with esophageal cancer receiving radical radiotherapy. We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent definitive radiotherapy at our institution.

Heterogeneity Analyzed by CT‐Based Habitat Analysis for Clinical Management of Cancers: A Narrative Review

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumors are highly heterogeneous, and whole‐lesion radiomics analysis is a popular method for extracting texture features that reflect this heterogeneity, which can be used to build models for cancer diagnosis, staging, therapy response evaluation, and prognosis prediction.

Advantages of using reduced-volume intensity modulated radiation therapy for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a retrospective paired study

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2019
Background The definition of clinical target volume (CTV) in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been addressed. We performed this study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using IMRT with reduced-

The Natural History of Residual and Recurrent Disease in Advanced Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Residual and recurrent disease in advanced juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) demonstrate spontaneous involution, reduction in size, or long‐term stability following initial treatment in 95% of patients. In this systematic review of 131 patients with advanced JNA, only 2% of patients demonstrated disease progression during surveillance, but ...

Optimizing laryngeal sparing with intensity modulated radiotherapy or volumetric modulated arc therapy for unilateral tonsil cancer

open access: yesPhysics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background and purpose: Minimizing radiation dose exposure to nearby organs is key to limiting clinical toxicities associated with radiotherapy. Several treatment modalities such as split- or whole-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SF-IMRT, WF-IMRT)

Are Academic Executives Greener? Evidence From China

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of executives with academic backgrounds (“academic executives”) on corporate green patents. We find that both the presence of academic executives and the proportion of academic executives have a significantly positive impact on firms' green patents, and this effect is positively associated with the firm's ...

Nurse Navigation on Time to Postoperative Radiation Therapy after Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) initiation within 6 weeks of surgery is associated with improved oncologic outcomes in head and neck cancer, but delays remain common. Oncology nurse navigators (ONN) may improve care coordination.

Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy In Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Priming the Tumor Immune Microenvironment From Bench To Bedside

open access: yesPrecision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
The dual immunomodulatory network of radiotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Radiotherapy initiates its effects by inducing immunogenic cell death and DNA double‐strand breaks. Immune Activation: Cytosolic DNA from damaged cells activates the cGAS‐STING pathway, triggering IRF3/NF‐κB‐mediated type I interferon production. This enhances dendritic cell

Dosimetric advantage of volumetric modulated arc therapy in the treatment of intraocular cancer

open access: yesRadiation Oncology, 2017
Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the dosimetric advantages of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the treatment of intraocular cancer by comparing it directly with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (CRT) and intensity ...
