Volumetric decrease of pancreas after abdominal irradiation, it is time to consider pancreas as an organ at risk for radiotherapy planning

Radiation Oncology, 2018
Background Volumetric shrinkage of normal tissues such as salivary glands, kidneys, hippocampus are observed after radiotherapy. We aimed to assess the alterations in pancreatic volume of patients who received abdominal radiotherapy and define pancreas ...

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in prostate cancer in the presence of hip prosthesis – is it a contraindication? A narrative review

BMC Urology
Hip replacement is a common orthopedic surgery in the aging population. With the rising incidence of prostate cancer, metallic hip prosthetics can cause considerable beam hardening and streak artifacts, leading to difficulty in identifying the target ...
