Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

Pulse‑level characterization of low monitor unit deliveries on a modern linear accelerator using a plastic scintillation detector

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Variability in low monitor unit (MU) deliveries has been previously documented, but the underlying pulse‑level behavior has not been fully described due to the integrating nature of most conventional detectors. A plastic scintillation detector (PSD) enables direct visualization of MU microstructure by isolating individual linac ...

Real‐time motion tracking of a gold implant in water by Cherenkov lights

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background The intra‐fraction motion of tumors during radiation therapy can be monitored using imaging systems based on X‐ray imaging (e.g., kV/MV radiography or CBCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these techniques have limitations, including additional ionizing radiation dose and the need for complex, expensive equipment ...
