Ultrahigh Dose-rate Radiotherapy: Next Steps for FLASH-RT.
(2019-01)
A new way of delivering radiotherapy at very high dose rates is described and compared with conventional radiotherapy. The ultrahigh dose-rate therapy reduces damage to normal pig skin and exerts potent activity against ...
Dose prescription with spatial uncertainty for peripheral lung SBRT.
(2019-01)
Current clinical practice is to prescribe to 95% of the planning target volume (PTV) in 4D stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung. Frequently the PTV margin has a very low physical density so that the internal ...

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the extremities present with two main challenges: correct evaluation of initial regional nodal involvement and define adequate local treatment. Methods Pediatric patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma ...
PET/CT with 89Zr-girentuximab can aid in diagnostic dilemmas of clear cell renal cell carcinoma suspicion
Based on the high expression of Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX) in 95% of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the anti-CAIX monoclonal antibody girentuximab can be used for the detection of ccRCC. This clinical study ...
Watch-and-Wait as a Therapeutic Strategy in Rectal Cancer.
(2018-01)
Purpose of Review:Pathological complete response is seen in approximately one fifth of rectal cancer patients following neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Since these patients have excellent oncological outcomes, there has been ...
Variations in the practice of molecular radiotherapy and implementation of dosimetry: results from a European survey.
(2017-12-04)
BACKGROUND:Currently, the implementation of dosimetry in molecular radiotherapy (MRT) is not well investigated, and in view of the Council Directive (2013/59/Euratom), there is a need to understand the current availability ...
FDG-PET/CT Limited to the Thorax and Upper Abdomen for Staging and Management of Lung Cancer.
(2016-01)
Purpose This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) of the chest/upper abdomen compared to the generally performed scan from head ...
