Development of methods to assess the predictive power of pre-therapy imaging for selective internal radiation therapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-12-31)
Pre-therapy Technetium-99m (99mTc)-MAA SPECT may be used to predict the 90Y absorbed dose in selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), while post-therapy 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT may be used to measure the delivered ...
Towards Real Time Radiotherapy Simulation
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-27)
Radiotherapy in Dupuytren's disease: a systematic review of the evidence.
(2017-09)
Radiotherapy has been advocated as an alternative treatment in early Dupuytren's disease. We have systematically reviewed the evidence on the use of radiotherapy in Dupuytren's disease. Only six articles met a minimum set ...
Opportunities for research in molecular radiotherapy.
(2017-03)
Cancer has been treated with radiopharmaceuticals for 80 years. A recent National Cancer Research Institute report from the Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group reviews the current status of ...
Taste dysfunction following radiotherapy to the head and neck: A systematic review.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2021-04-01)
BACKGROUND: An intact sense of taste provides pleasure, supports sustenance and alerts the body to toxins. Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who receive radiotherapy (RT) are high-risk for developing radiation-induced ...
Failure-Free Survival and Radiotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer: Data From Patients in the Control Arm of the STAMPEDE Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2016-03-01)
IMPORTANCE: The natural history of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk nonmetastatic (M0) prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy (HT) either alone or with standard-of-care radiotherapy (RT) is not well documented. ...
Using dual-energy x-ray imaging to enhance automated lung tumor tracking during real-time adaptive radiotherapy.
(WILEY, 2015-12-01)
PURPOSE: Real-time, markerless localization of lung tumors with kV imaging is often inhibited by ribs obscuring the tumor and poor soft-tissue contrast. This study investigates the use of dual-energy imaging, which can ...
Does breast composition influence late adverse effects in breast radiotherapy?
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2016-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Large breast size is associated with increased risk of late adverse effects after surgery and radiotherapy for early breast cancer. It is hypothesised that effects of radiotherapy on adipose tissue are responsible ...
