Realizing the potential of magnetic resonance image guided radiotherapy in gynaecological and rectal cancer.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-05-14)CT-based radiotherapy workflow is limited by poor soft tissue definition in the pelvis and reliance on rigid registration methods. Current image-guided radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy models therefore have limited ... -
Recent advances in testicular germ cell tumours.
(Faculty Opinions Ltd, 2021-01-01)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common solid tumours in young men and have an excellent overall cure rate and prognosis. In most patients, localised disease is cured by surgery alone, and a minority of ... -
Recent developments in non-coplanar radiotherapy.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-05-01)This paper gives an overview of recent developments in non-coplanar intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Modern linear accelerators are capable of automating motion around ... -
Recommendations for improved reproducibility of ADC derivation on behalf of the Elekta MRI-linac consortium image analysis working group.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-09-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), a potential imaging biomarker for radiotherapy response, needs to be reproducible before translation into clinical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
Recommendations for Multicentre Clinical Trials Involving Dosimetry for Molecular Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-02-01)Multicentre clinical trials involving a dosimetry component are becoming more prevalent in molecular radiotherapy and are essential to generate the evidence to support individualised approaches to treatment planning and ... -
Recovery of Salivary Function: Contralateral Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy versus Bilateral Superficial Lobe Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2016-09-01)AIMS: To establish whether there is a difference in recovery of salivary function with bilateral superficial lobe parotid-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BSLPS-IMRT) versus contralateral parotid-sparing IMRT ... -
Reduced Dose Posterior to Prostate Correlates With Increased PSA Progression in Voxel-Based Analysis of 3 Randomized Phase 3 Trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-12-01)PURPOSE: Reducing margins during treatment planning to decrease dose to healthy organs surrounding the prostate can risk inadequate treatment of subclinical disease. This study aimed to investigate whether lack of dose to ... -
Reduced inter-observer and intra-observer delineation variation in esophageal cancer radiotherapy by use of fiducial markers.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-06-03)Objective: Delineation variation of esophageal tumors remains a large source of geometric uncertainty. In the present study, we investigated the inter- and intra-observer variation in esophageal gross tumor volume (GTV) ... -
Refined histopathological predictors of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status: a large-scale analysis of breast cancer characteristics from the BCAC, CIMBA, and ENIGMA consortia.
(BMC, 2014-12-23)INTRODUCTION: The distribution of histopathological features of invasive breast tumors in BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation carriers differs from that of individuals with no known mutation. Histopathological features thus ... -
Regulation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in primary human saphenous vein endothelial cells

'Relationship between thermal dose and cell death for "rapid" ablative and "slow" hyperthermic heating'.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-01-01)AIM: Thermal isoeffective dose (TID) has not been convincingly validated for application to predict biological effects from rapid thermal ablation (e.g., using >55 °C). This study compares the classical method of quantifying ... -
Relationship of Cisplatin-Related Adverse Health Outcomes With Disability and Unemployment Among Testicular Cancer Survivors.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-08-01)BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the relationship of cisplatin-related adverse health outcomes (AHOs) with disability, unemployment, and self-reported health (SRH) among testicular cancer survivors (TCS). METHODS: A total of ... -
Relationship of self-reported body size and shape with risk for prostate cancer: A UK case-control study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-09-17)INTRODUCTION: Previous evidence has suggested a relationship between male self-reported body size and the risk of developing prostate cancer. In this UK-wide case-control study, we have explored the possible association ... -
Relationships between rectal and perirectal doses and rectal bleeding or tenesmus in pooled voxel-based analysis of 3 randomised phase III trials.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-09-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify anatomically-localised regions where planned radiotherapy dose is associated with gastrointestinal toxicities in healthy tissues throughout the pelvic anatomy. MATERIALS ... -
Relative fat fraction of malignant bone lesions from breast cancer, prostate cancer and myeloma are significantly lower than normal bone marrow and shows excellent interobserver agreement.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2023-11-01)OBJECTIVES: To compare relative fat fraction (rFF) of active bone lesions from breast, prostate and myeloma malignancies and normal bone marrow; to assess its inter-reader agreement. METHODS: Patients with breast (n = 26), ... -
Reliability and prognostic value of radiomic features are highly dependent on choice of feature extraction platform.
(SPRINGER, 2020-11-01)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative (IBSI) compliance, harmonisation of calculation settings and platform version on the statistical reliability of radiomic features and their ... -
