Objective: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) driven plan tradeoff decision making assistant for radiation oncologists. Methods: A user interface (UI) was developed to integrate the assistant with the treatment p...

Avaliou-se a eficácia do protocolo radioterápico hipofracionado no tratamento de felinos portadores de carcinoma epidermóide facial. Um protocolo hipofracionado de radioterapia foi aplicado em cinco gatos portadores d...

Abstract Background Radiation therapy is commonly used as an adjunct to incomplete surgical excision in dogs with mast cell tumors (MCT), but the optimal dose and fractionation regimen have yet to be determined. Hypothes...

Background and purpose: Artificial intelligence-based contouring tools enable assessment of radiation doses to cardiac substructures beyond mean heart dose. This study examined inter-solution variations in raw contours a...

Abstract Purpose Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is designed to deliver a precise dose of ionizing radiation to a tumor or tumor bed after surgical resection. The IORT procedure can deliver targeted radiation to the t...

Within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), health and well-being are one of the most important goals. This perspective highlights recent institutional progress at Korea Institute of Radiological a...

Background and purpose: Bilateral breast or chest wall and regional nodal irradiation involves large treatment volumes adjacent to multiple critical organs. The feasibility and normal tissue sparing of proton arc therapy...

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with limited therapeutic options following the failure of standard adjuvant therapies. We present a 54-year-old female with stage IV cortisol-secreting ACC that progres...

Abstract Background Despite the favorable toxicity profiles of whole breast radiotherapy, there are subgroups that tend to experience high toxicity. This study examines anatomical and physiological characteristics that c...

Background and purpose: Intrafraction motion degrades the efficacy of radiation therapy. We reported on the implementation of focal dose-escalated stereotactic body radiation therapy (HypoFocal-SBRT) for prostate carcino...

Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most prevalent endocrine neoplasms in Brazil, and radioiodine therapy (RAI) is a well-established adjuvant treatment. However, managing RAI can be particularly challenging in pati...

Background and purpose: Deviations in radiotherapy quality can significantly affect clinical trial outcomes, including overall survival. Radiotherapy quality assurance (RTQA) is a systematic process by which a RT plan is...

We report a case of a 51-y-old female presenting with synchronous double primary malignancies: advanced endometrial cancer and early-stage lung cancer. One year a post-chemotherapy withdrawal due to toxicity, she develop...

Objective: To identify risk factors for post-radiation xerostomia and to evaluate the tolerance to doses administered to the parotid gland in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: A total of 462 patients...

Background: A brain tumor is a tumor that is most known for its dangerous progressivity. Brain tumor is classified into primary and metastatic types. One of the management for primary brain tumors is radiotherapy. This s...

Abstract With the advent of the immunotherapy era, the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy has become a critical strategy to enhance patient outcomes. In addition to its direct cytotoxicity, radiotherapy modula...
