Comparative Analysis of VMAT and IMRT Techniques: Evaluation of Dose Constraints and Bone Marrow Sparing in Cervical Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemoradiotherapy
CONCLUSION: Our study adds to the growing evidence that VMAT might be the preferred technique for patients with carcinoma of the cervix undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy, as it provides comparable target coverage and better sparing of bone marrow compared to IMRT.PMID:38285777 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.1.139 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Comparison of Mammographic Findings after Conventional Radiotherapy and forward Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy in Breast Conservative Therapy
CONCLUSION: In the FIMRT group, post-BCT mammographic findings, including breast parenchymal edema and marked scar appearance, were fewer than those in the CRT group, and the duration to stable was significantly reduced.PMID:38285793 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.1.265 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Multi-omics and Multi-VOIs to predict esophageal fistula in esophageal cancer patients treated with radiotherapy
ConclusionIntegrating multi-omics features from multi-VOIs enables better prediction of EF in EC patients treated with IMRT. The incorporation of dosiomics features can enhance the model performance of the prediction. (Source: Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology)

Approaches for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)/Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) in brain metastases using different radiotherapy modalities (Feasibility study)
CONCLUSION: While 3D-CRT delivered lower doses to organs at risk, RA and IMRT provided better conformity and target coverage. RA effectively controlled the maximum dose and irradiated volume of normal brain tissue. Overall, these findings indicate that 3DCRT, RA, and IMRT are suitable for treating brain metastases in SRS/SRT due to their improved dose conformity and target coverage while minimizing dose to healthy tissues.PMID:38277334 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230275 (Source: Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology)

Evaluation of robustness of optimization methods in breast intensity-modulated radiation therapy using TomoTherapy
AbstractIntensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become a popular choice for breast cancer treatment. We aimed to evaluate and compare the robustness of each optimization method used for breast IMRT using TomoTherapy. A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with left breast cancer. For each optimization method (clipping, virtual bolus, and skin flash), a corresponding 50 Gy/25 fr plan was created in the helical and direct TomoTherapy modes. The dose-volume histogram parameters were compared after shifting the patients anteriorly and posteriorly. In the helical mode, when the patient was not shifted,...

Evaluating AAPM-TG-218 recommendations: Gamma index tolerance and action limits in IMRT and VMAT quality assurance using SunCHECK
CONCLUSION: The study established TL and AL values tailored to various anatomical regions and treatment techniques at our institution. Establishing PSQA workflows for VMAT and IMRT offers valuable clinical insights and guidance. We also suggest developing a standard combining clinically relevant metrics with %GP to evaluate PSQA results comprehensively.PMID:38243604 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14277 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Hypofractionated versus standard chemoradiotherapy in the definitive treatment of uterine cervix cancer: interim results of a randomized controlled clinical trial
ConclusionsDespite an absolute difference of 1.1% in the 3-month CCR, our interim analysis failed to show the non-inferiority of the hypofractionated chemoradiation. Due to the higher GI toxicities, we will continue this trial using intensity-modulated radiation therapy.Registration number and dateClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04831437, 2021.4.1.

Evolution of radiation-induced temporal lobe injury after intensity-modulated radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a large cohort retrospective study
Previous studies have demonstrated conflicting findings regarding the initial MRI patterns of radiotherapy-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI) and the evolution of different RTLI patterns. The aim of this stud... (Source: Radiation Oncology)
