An ESTRO-ACROP guideline on quality assurance and medical physics commissioning of online MRI guided radiotherapy systems based on a consensus expert opinion.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-04-01)OBJECTIVE: The goal of this consensus expert opinion was to define quality assurance (QA) tests for online magnetic resonance image (MRI) guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) systems and to define the important medical physics ... -
Best Current Practice and Research Priorities in Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer-A Report of a Movember International Consensus Meeting.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-01-27)BACKGROUND: Active surveillance (AS) is recommended for low-risk and some intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Uptake and practice of AS vary significantly across different settings, as does the experience of surveillance-from ... -
Pre-operative Radiotherapy And Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flAp study (PRADA): Aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction at one year.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-03-01)INTRODUCTION: The optimal combination of radiotherapy and breast reconstruction has not yet been defined. Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has deleterious effects on breast reconstruction, leading to caution amongst ... -
Interobserver variation of clinical oncologists compared to therapeutic radiographers (RTT) prostate contours on T2 weighted MRI.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-03-01)The implementation of MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy has enabled extension of therapeutic radiographers' roles to include contouring. An offline interobserver variability study compared five radiographers' and ... -
Institutional experience of using active breathing control for paediatric and teenage patients receiving thoraco-abdominal radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)INTRODUCTION: Active Breathing Control (ABC) is a motion management strategy that facilitates reproducible breath-hold for thoracic radiotherapy (RT), which may reduce radiation dose to organs at risk (OARs). Reduction of ... -
Evaluation of therapeutic radiographer contouring for magnetic resonance image guided online adaptive prostate radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The implementation of MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy has facilitated the extension of therapeutic radiographers' roles to include contouring, thus releasing the clinician from attending ... -
Adaptive radiotherapy for breast cancer.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-03-01)Research in the field of local and locoregional breast cancer radiotherapy aims to maintain excellent oncological outcomes while reducing treatment-related toxicity. Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) considers variations in ... -
Understanding the Benefit of Magnetic Resonance-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy in Rectal Cancer Patients: a Single-centre Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-11-03)AIMS: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is the mainstay of treatment for patients with rectal cancer. Standard clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) margins of 10 mm are used to ... -
A radiomics-based decision support tool improves lung cancer diagnosis in combination with the Herder score in large lung nodules.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-12-01)BACKGROUND: Large lung nodules (≥15 mm) have the highest risk of malignancy, and may exhibit important differences in phenotypic or clinical characteristics to their smaller counterparts. Existing risk models do not stratify ... -
Radiation protection aspects for alpha therapies.
(EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA, 2023-03-01)The use of alpha emitting radiotherapeutics is increasing, with further growth expected due to a number of clinical trials currently running involving new alpha emitters. However, literature concerning radiation safety ... -
IPEM topical report: current molecular radiotherapy service provision and guidance on the implications of setting up a dosimetry service.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-22)Despite a growth in molecular radiotherapy treatment (MRT) and an increase in interest, centres still rarely perform MRT dosimetry. The aims of this report were to assess the main reasons why centres are not performing MRT ... -
