Monte Carlo-based optimization of glioma capsule design for enhanced brachytherapy
Appl Radiat Isot. 2023 Sep 5;201:111014. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2023.111014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe use of radiotherapy in tumor treatment has become increasingly prominent and has emerged as one of the main tools for treating malignant tumors. Current radiation therapy for glioma employs 125I seeds for brachytherapy, which cannot be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a dual-microcavity capsule structure that integrates radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to simulate the structure of the dual-microcavity capsule with ...

Pathologic Nodal Staging Before SBRT for Early-stage NSCLC Does Not Impact Overall Survival: A Propensity Score-matched NCDB Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: SBRT use in early-stage NSCLC steadily increased over the study period. Most patients proceeded to SBRT without nodal staging, conflicting with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines which recommend pathologic mediastinal lymph node evaluation for all early-stage NSCLC cases, except stage IA. Our findings suggest similar OS in patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with SBRT irrespective of nodal staging. Furthermore, we highlight patient-related, disease-related, and treatment-related prognostic factors to consider when planning therapy for these patients.PMID:37679872 | DOI:10.1097/COC.0000000000001040

Robust mixed electron-photon radiation therapy planning for soft tissue sarcoma
CONCLUSION: For STS with subcutaneous involvement, MBRT offers statistically significant sparing of OARs without sacrificing target coverage when compared to VMAT. MBRT plans are deliverable on conventional linacs without the use of electron applicators, shortened source-to-surface distance (SSD) or bolus. This study shows that MBRT is a logistically feasible technique with clear dosimetric benefits.PMID:37681990 | DOI:10.1002/mp.16709

Carcinoma buccal mucosa treated with definitive hypofractionated accelerated radiotherapy: a retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes
CONCLUSION: Excellent outcome could be achieved in less-aggressive, low-volume carcinoma of the buccal mucosa with radical accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy. A radiotherapy schedule over a 3-week period is useful in high-volume centres.PMID:37675674 | DOI:10.4103/singaporemedj.SMJ-2021-282
