Retrospective dosimetry study of intensity-modulated radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: measurement-guided dose reconstruction and analysis

Radiation Oncology, 2018
Background Conventional phantom-based planar dosimetry (2D-PBD) quality assurance (QA) using gamma pass rate (GP (%)) is inadequate to reflect clinically relevant dose error in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), owing to a lack of information ...

Epidemiological evidence for the role of puberty and immune senescence in Hodgkin lymphoma aetiology from 1992 Danish cases

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? The understanding of the epidemiological and clinical distinctions between Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐positive and EBV‐negative classic Hodgkin lymphoma remains incomplete. Here, the authors generated unique sets of population‐based sex‐ and age‐specific incidence rates of classic Hodgkin lymphoma in Denmark stratified by histological subtype

Explainable one-class feature extraction by adaptive resonance for anomaly detection in quality assurance.

PLoS ONE
In this study, we address the inherent challenges in radiotherapy (RT) plan quality assessment (QA). RT, a prevalent cancer treatment, utilizes high-energy beams to target tumors while sparing adjacent healthy tissues.
