Comparative Analysis of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy and Conventional Radiation Therapy in Cancer Pain Control: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Approximately 55% of patients diagnosed with primary or metastatic cancer endure pain directly attributable to the disease. Consequently, it becomes imperative to address pain management through a comparative analysis of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and conventional radiation therapy (CRT), especially in light of the less efficacious improvement achieved solely through pharmacological interventions.

Multi-center dose prediction using attention-aware deep learning algorithm based on transformers for cervical cancer radiotherapy
Accurate dose delivery is crucial for cervical cancer volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). We aimed to develop a robust deep learning (DL) algorithm for fast and accurate dose prediction of cervical cancer VMAT in multi-center datasets and then explore the feasibility of the DL algorithm to endometrial cancer VMAT with different prescriptions.
