3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 74-84, March 2025.
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...

Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer: a scoping review

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 106-118, March 2025.
This review article reports that quantification of hypoxic volumes using PET in the pre‐radiation therapy setting is of prognostic value and indicative of treatment response in non‐small cell lung cancer. Abstract Introduction Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and

The Role of Routine Staging Laparoscopy for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma in Underserved Populations: A 14‐Year Experience at a Safety‐Net Hospital

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There are no consensus guidelines for staging laparoscopy (SL) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and existing data largely reflect insured referral populations. Routine SL has not been studied in underserved patient populations who face disparities in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Prognostic Factors for Patients Under 45 Undergoing Surgery for Colorectal Liver Metastases: A SEER Population‐Based Study

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been on the rise in adults younger than 50. Surgical resection is a potentially curative treatment option for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The aim of this study was to describe patient and tumor characteristics associated with disease‐specific survival in young patients

Performance of Survival Prediction Tools in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies that developed, validated, or updated clinical prognostic tools to predict survival in adults with primary GIST, identifying 47 eligible studies (38 development and 9 ...
