Automatic skin flash optimization in breast and chestwall VMAT with static angle modulated ports: Effect of HU and flash margin size on plan quality and robustness

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin flash is typically added to breast and chestwall plans to ensure robust target coverage in the presence of respiratory motion, anatomic changes, and small setup uncertainties. Adding skin flash in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans is an iterative and manual process.

Surface dose analysis and dosimetric comparison of Halcyon versus Truebeam in breast cancer radiotherapy: An OSL dosimetry study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Breast cancer is a neoplastic disease with high prevalence among women. Radiotherapy is one of the principal treatment modalities for this disease, but it poses significant challenges. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the technical and dosimetric performance of conventional C‐arm linac systems and a new design, Halcyon, in the ...

Zonated Copper‐Driven Breast Cancer Progression Countered by a Copper‐Depleting Nanoagent for Immune and Metabolic Reprogramming

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Spatially resolved multiomics reveals that high‐copper zones are closely associated with tumor metastasis, immune‐desert phenotypes, and oxidative‐phosphorylation (OXPHOS)‐dependent proliferation. A targeted bacterial nanovesicle delivering copper‐depleting agents effectively reduces tumor copper levels, inhibits OXPHOS‐dependent tumor growth, and ...
