Can Optical Surface Imaging Replace Non-coplanar Cone-beam Computed Tomography for Non-coplanar Set-up Verification in Single-isocentre Non-coplanar Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Single and Multiple Brain Metastases?
To conduct a direct comparison regarding the non-coplanar positioning accuracy between the optical surface imaging system Catalyst HDTM and non-coplanar cone-beam computed tomography (NC-CBCT) in intracranial single-isocentre non-coplanar stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT).

A Randomised Clinical Feasibility Trial of a Breast Immobilisation Device: the SuPPORT 4 All Bra
Despite the breast being a mobile organ, there is currently no standard suitable immobilisation device to optimise radiotherapy for women with larger breasts treated after a wide local excision. The SuPPORT 4 All (S4A) bra was co-designed with patients and radiotherapy professionals. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of using the S4A bra in the existing breast cancer radiotherapy pathway. (Source: Clinical Oncology)

Deep-learning Method for the Prediction of Three-dimensional Dose Distribution for Left Breast Cancer Conformal Radiation Therapy
An increase in the demand of a new generation of radiotherapy planning systems based on learning approaches has been reported. At this stage, the new approach is able to improve the planning speed while saving a reasonable level of plan quality, compared with available planning systems. We believe that new achievements, such as deep-learning models, will be able to review the issue from a different point of view. (Source: Clinical Oncology)

Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: the Role of Three-dimensional Tumour Volume in Patient Survival
The definition of oligometastatic prostate cancer (OPCa) is currently based solely on the maximum number of detectable metastases, as there are no validated biomarkers available. The aim of this study was to identify novel predictive factors for OPCa patients who underwent metastases-directed therapy. (Source: Clinical Oncology)

Vascular Interventions in Oncology
Vascular interventions are an important and established tool in the management of the oncology patient. The goal of these procedures may be curative, palliative or adjunctive in nature. Some of the common vascular interventions used in oncology include transarterial embolisation or chemoembolisation, selective internal radiation therapy, chemosaturation, venous access lines, superior vena cava stenting and portal vein embolisation. We provide an overview of the principles, technology and approach of vascular techniques for tumour therapy in both the arterial and venous systems. (Source: Clinical Oncology)

The National Cancer Research Institute Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group Workshop: Translating Novel Discoveries to and from the Clinic
The National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group (CTRad) has recognised improving translational research in radiation oncology as a strategic priority area and has established a new working group, Working Group 1, to address the gaps in this field. Here we report on a recent workshop, led by the CTRad Working Group 1, focusing on translating novel discoveries to and from the clinic. It aimed to engage the UK-wide radiotherapy research community to discuss the current challenges and opportunities in this space. (Source: Clinical Oncology)
