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 ...
The use of germline genetic profiles to guide prostate cancer targeted screening and cancer care
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-09-30)
The genetic heritability of prostate cancer is contributed to by rarely occurring but high penetrant genetic variants, and moderate to commonly occurring variants conferring lower risks. Genome wide association studies and ...
3-Dimensional objective aesthetic evaluation to replace panel assessment after breast-conserving treatment.
(2020-11)
Background Two-thirds of patients with early breast cancer undergo breast-conserving treatment (BCT). Aesthetic outcome is important and has long term implications for psychosocial wellbeing. The aesthetic goal of BCT is ...
The use of three-dimensional surface imaging and assessment of aesthetics in breast cancer surgery
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-12-31)
Aesthetic outcome from breast cancer surgery influences long-term psychosocial wellbeing. There is no gold standard measure. An objective measure is required in order to communicate and compare results ultimately to raise ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)
Radiotherapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy allows daily adaptive replanning and can improve ...
Cross-modality deep learning: Contouring of MRI data from annotated CT data only.
(2020-11-30)
Purpose Online adaptive radiotherapy would greatly benefit from the development of reliable auto-segmentation algorithms for organs-at-risk and radiation targets. Current practice of manual segmentation is subjective and ...
Patterns of practice for adaptive and real-time radiation therapy (POP-ART RT) part I: Intra-fraction breathing motion management.
(2020-12)
Purpose The POP-ART RT study aims to determine to what extent and how intra-fractional real-time respiratory motion management (RRMM) and plan adaptation for inter-fractional anatomical changes (ART), are used in clinical ...
A Canadian approach to the regionalization of testis cancer: A review.
(2020-10)
At the Canadian Testis Cancer Workshop, the rationale and feasibility of regionalization of testis cancer care were discussed. The two-day workshop involved urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, ...
