An optimal dose‐fractionation for stereotactic body radiotherapy in peripherally, centrally and ultracentrally located early‐stage non‐small lung cancer

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, 2023
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), is commonly used in inoperable patients with early‐stage non‐small lung cancer (NSCLC).

A call for the aggressive treatment of oligometastatic and oligo-recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carries a dismal prognosis. Clinical evidence suggests the existence of an intermediate, or oligometastatic, state when metastases are limited in number and/or location.

A preliminary study on a multi-resolution-level inverse planning algorithm for Gamma Knife radiosurgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Manual forward planning for GK radiosurgery is complicated and time-consuming, particularly for cases with large or irregularly shaped targets. Inverse planning eases GK planning by solving an optimization problem. However, due to the vast search space, most inverse planning algorithms have to decouple the planning process to isocenter preselection and

Effects of cardiac motion on dose distribution during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation treatment: A simulation and phantom study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Cardiac motion may degrade dose distribution during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation using the CyberKnife system, a robotic radiosurgery system. This study evaluated the dose distribution changes using a self‐made cardiac dynamic platform that mimics cardiac motion. Methods The cardiac dynamic platform was operated with amplitudes
