Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

ABSTRACT Background Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) exhibits distinct clinical behaviors according to HPV/p16 status and smoking exposure. While HPV‐positive OPC generally shows superior survival, differences in recurrence patterns remain unclear. Methods A retrospective multicenter analysis of 674 AJCC VII edition Stage III–IVa/b OPC patients treated with ...

Comparison of breast simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) radiotherapy techniques [PDF]
Purpose: To dosimetrically evaluate different breast SIB techniques with respect to target coverage and organs at risk (OARs) doses. Methods: Four IMRT techniques were compared in 12 patients. Three techniques employ tangential whole breast irradiation
