Disparities in Proton Radiation Utilization for HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer Following TORS

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities in receipt of proton radiation have been reported. Whether disparities exist for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is not well studied. Methods Patients with HPV‐associated OPSCC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and adjuvant radiation from 2016 to 2023 were

Comparison of Carotid Artery Dose in Early-Stage Glottic Cancer Treated with 3D-Conformal, Helical-IMRT and VMAT

Forum of Clinical Oncology, 2023
The aim of this study was to compare the dosimetry of carotid arteries (CAs) using three radiation therapy (RT) techniques, three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT), helical tomotherapy-intensity-modulated RT (HT-IMRT), and volumetric modulated arc ...

Different Pattern of Treatment Failure After Chemoradiation Between p16+ and p16− Patients Affected by Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
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 ...

Spine SBRT using VMAT

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017
Metastases of the spinal column are common amongst cancer patients with approximately 18,000 new cases in North America each year that require urgent treatment. Historically radiation therapy doses have been limited due to the proximity of the spinal cord.

Association of recurrence patterns and outcome with HR and HER2 status in patients with resected brain metastases from breast cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While treatment strategies for solid brain metastases have been relatively uniform across cancer subtypes, tailored approaches are warranted. In this observational study, intracranial recurrences after microsurgical resection occurred significantly earlier and more frequently at distant sites in patients with triple‐negative breast cancer ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Dosimetric advantage of volumetric modulated arc therapy in the treatment of intraocular cancer

Radiation Oncology, 2017
Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the dosimetric advantages of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the treatment of intraocular cancer by comparing it directly with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (CRT) and intensity ...

Radiation Therapy Medical Physics Review – Delivery, Interactions, Safety, Feasibility, and Head to Head Comparisons of the Leading Radiation Therapy Techniques [PDF]

, 2017
Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy for cancer treatment can take the form of photon therapy (using x-rays and gamma rays), or charged particle therapy including proton therapy and electron therapy. Within

Three-Dimensional Dose Prediction for Lung IMRT Patients with Deep Neural Networks: Robust Learning from Heterogeneous Beam Configurations

, 2019
The use of neural networks to directly predict three-dimensional dose distributions for automatic planning is becoming popular. However, the existing methods only use patient anatomy as input and assume consistent beam configuration for all patients in ...
