Dosimetric comparison of advanced radiation techniques for scalp-sparing in low-grade gliomas
ConclusionOur study provides evidence that the SO approach is a feasible technique for reducing scalp radiation dose. However, it is imperative to conduct prospective trials to assess the benefits associated with this approach. (Source: Strahlentherapie und Onkologie)

Automated treatment planning for whole breast irradiation with individualized tangential IMRT fields
CONCLUSIONS: Although our attempt to correlate patient anatomical features with planning strategy using machine learning tools was unsuccessful, the resulting dosimetric outcomes proved satisfactory. Our algorithm consistently produced high-quality plans, offering significant time and efficiency advantages.PMID:38642406 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14361 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Use of Zernike moments to characterize dose conformity for radiotherapy treatment plans
Appl Radiat Isot. 2024 Apr 12;209:111322. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111322. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDose conformity is an essential parameter used in radiotherapy and radiosurgery that measures the correspondence of the dose distribution derived from a Treatment Planning System (TPS) with the actual volume to be treated, the Planning Treatment Volume (PTV). The present work uses a method based on the expansion of dose distributions and PTVs by three-dimensional Zernike polynomials and further comparison of their moments to define a general criterion of dose conformity. To carry on this study, data coming from 20 p...

Could a low-dose definitive radiation therapy be the optimal treatment for choroidal hemangioma?
CONCLUSION: Low-dose IMRT/VMAT could effectively induce involution of the CH, with reduction of subretinal fluid and relief of damage to the neurosensory retina, which is an effective treatment mode for CH.PMID:38641260 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110282 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Comparison of 3-year local control using DAHANCA radiotherapy guidelines before and after implementation of five millimetres geometrical GTV to high-dose CTV margin
CONCLUSION: DAHANCA radiotherapy guidelines based on a geometrically generated isotropic CTV1 margin led to less variation in treatment volumes and between centres than previous guidelines. The transition towards consensus GTV-CTV1 margins did not influence local tumour control. The majority of local recurrences were inside CTV1 and covered by the prescription dose.PMID:38636711 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110284 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

The incidence of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws in oral cavity cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to define the incidence of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and to identify the risk factors influencing its development.

Incorporating functional lung imaging (FLI) into radiation therapy planning in patients with lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: FLI shows promise as a method to spare FL during thoracic RT, but interventional trials related to FL avoidance planning are sparse. Such trials are critical to understanding the impact of FL avoidance planning on toxicity reduction and patient outcomes.PMID:38631538 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.001 (Source: Health Physics)
