A review on radiochromic film dosimetry in radiation therapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Radiochromic films (RCFs) are ubiquitous in radiation oncology clinical and research settings to measure the radiation dose over a two‐dimensional (2D) area due to their high spatial resolution, water‐equivalency, and relative ease‐of‐use. Upon irradiation, the constituent monomers of the active layer of RCFs undergo polymerization, leading to

Feasibility of treatment planning with HyperArc stereotactic radiosurgery methods for ocular tumors

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Purpose/objectives Currently, ocular disease is primarily managed with COMS plaque brachytherapy. Various stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) platforms have also been employed, yet widespread access remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of using the HyperArc SRS system to provide an additional platform for the treatment of ...

Subsequent Primary Hematologic Malignancies in a 21‐Year‐Old Retinoblastoma Survivor: Case Report Study

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Retinoblastoma (RB) is a malignant eye tumor that predominantly affects children. Although survival rates have improved significantly due to advancements in treatment, subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs) continue to be major causes of death in both heritable and non‐heritable RB cases.

Dose verification of eye plaque brachytherapy using spectroscopic dosimetry

Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2016
Eye plaque brachytherapy has been developed and refined for the last 80 years, demonstrating effective results in the treatment of ocular malignancies. Current dosimetry techniques for eye plaque brachytherapy (such as TLD- and film-based techniques) are time consuming and cannot be used prior to treatment in a sterile environment.

Toward Precision Medicine: Gene Therapy Applications in the Management of Uveal Melanoma

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma (UM) is the prevailing malignant tumor that develops within the eye in adults, and it has a bleak outlook because of the few treatment choices available and the high likelihood of returning after treatment. Currently, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and a combination of both modalities are available ...

Dental Adverse Effects Following Multimodality Treatment for Head and Neck Rhabdomyosarcoma: Results of a Trans‐Atlantic Multicentre Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 72, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction As survival of paediatric cancer improves, more emphasis is placed on late adverse effects. However, the dental and periodontal adverse effects of cancer treatments in children remain an underinvestigated complication. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of late clinical dental adverse effects (cDAE) in survivors of ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for locally recurrent choroidal melanoma following plaque radiotherapy

International Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2018
Background For the majority of eyes with choroidal melanoma, radiation therapy is the treatment of choice. Local recurrence after radiation therapy can occur, however, and when it does, salvaging the globe with useful vision is atypical.
