Overview of medical physics education and research programs in a non-academic environment
J Appl Clin Med Phys. 2023 Aug 21:e14124. doi: 10.1002/acm2.14124. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNorthwest Medical Physics Center (NMPC) is a nonprofit organization that provides clinical physics support to over 35 radiation therapy facilities concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. Although clinical service is the primary function of NMPC, the diverse array of clinical sites and physics expertise has allowed for the establishment of structured education and research programs, which are complementary to the organization's clinical mission. Three clinical training programs have been developed at NMPC: a therapy medical physi...

Effect of Delayed Oncoplastic Reduction Mammoplasty on Radiation Treatment Delay Following Breast-Conserving Surgery for Breast Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that ORM following BCS has the potential to delay RT >8 weeks, largely as a result of increased risk of wound complications; however, this delay did not impact local control. ORM can be safely considered for appropriately selected patients with breast cancer.PMID:37605081 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-14177-w

Characterization of the radiation beam of a tomotherapy equipment with MCNP
Appl Radiat Isot. 2023 Aug 9;200:110978. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2023.110978. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work aims to model and characterize the radiation beam of one Accuray tomotherapy equipment using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5 (Monte Carlo N-Particle). This tomotherapy equipment is used for delivering high doses of radiation in tumor regions to kill cancer cells and shrink the tumor during radiation therapy of cancer patients, however, the radiation can damage surrounding areas and nearby organs at risk (OAR) if the radiation field is not well delimited. In particular, intensity-modulated radiotherapy treatments...

Prophylactic Use of Mepitel ® Film to Prevent Radiation-Induced Moist Desquamation in Cancer Patients
Cureus. 2023 Jul 20;15(7):e42186. doi: 10.7759/cureus.42186. eCollection 2023 Jul.ABSTRACTCancer patients had limited treatment options for decades, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, alone or combined. However, there have been substantial improvements in recent years with the introduction of stem cell therapy, hormone therapy, anti-angiogenic treatments, immunotherapy, dendritic cell-based targeted therapy, ablation therapy, nanoparticles, natural antioxidants, radionics, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and ferroptosis-based therapy. Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is a cancer treatment t...

Application and challenges of statistical process control in radiation therapy quality assurance
This article reviews the development and methodology of SPC technology, evaluates its suitability in radiotherapy QA practices, and assesses its importance and challenges in optimizing radiotherapy QA processes.PMID:37604239 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.08.020

Novel in-house knowledge-based automated planning system for lung cancer treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy
ConclusionsOur results showed that αDiar was an effective tool to improve planning quality. Over half of the patients’ plans could be designed automatically. For the remaining patients, although the automatically designed plans did not fully meet the clinical requirements, their quality was also better than that of manual plans.

Analysis of radiation therapy quality assurance in NRG Oncology RTOG 0848
CONCLUSION: One-third of patients required resubmission to meet protocol compliance criteria, demonstrating the continued need for expending resources on real-time, pretreatment QA in trials evaluating the use of radiotherapy, particularly for pancreas cancer. Rigorous QA is critically important for clinical trials involving RT to ensure that the true impact of RT is assessed. Moreover, RT QA serves as an educational process through providing feedback from specialists to practicing radiation oncologists on best practices.PMID:37598723 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.08.014

The prognosis of patients with prostate cancer receiving permanent seed implantation stratified by prostate volume: should we be reluctant to treat with brachytherapy because of a very small prostate ( & lt;15 cc)?
CONCLUSIONS: Our results obtained by analyzing a very large Japanese prospective database showed no difference in treatment outcomes according to PV (<15 cc, 15-20 cc, and ˃20 cc). Our study confirmed that PI in small prostates (even <15 cc) remains an effective treatment option.PMID:37597804 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109855
