Imaging and molecular features of adenomyosis after menopause.

Objectives: To explore the imaging features and the molecular characterization of adenomyosis after menopause.

Study Design: An observational cross-sectional study was performed in a group of postmenopausal patients undergoing a transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) (n = 468). Among those presenting the US criteria for adenomyosis, also confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), previous menstrual symptoms, gynecological and obstetric history were reviewed.

Prostate Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy With Halcyon 2.0: Treatment Plans Comparison Based on RTOG 0938 Protocol.

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment with a newly developed Varian Halcyon 2.0 machine by comparing radiotherapy plans with previously delivered CyberKnife G4 plans created with the previous version of CyberKnife Treatment Planning System Multiplan 4.6.

Radiation treatment planning techniques for lymphoma of the stomach.

Purpose: Involved-field radiation therapy of the stomach is often used in the curative treatment of gastric lymphoma. Yet, the optimal technique to irradiate the stomach with minimal morbidity has not been well established. This study was designed to evaluate treatment planning alternatives for stomach irradiation, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), to determine which approach resulted in improved dose distribution and to identify patient-specific anatomic factors that might influence a treatment planning choice.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for lymphoma involving the mediastinum.

Purpose: To determine the feasibility, potential advantage, and indications for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving excessively large mediastinal disease volumes or requiring repeat RT.

Methods And Materials: Sixteen patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 11) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 5) undergoing primary radiotherapy or repeat RT delivered via an IMRT plan were studied. The indications for using an IMRT plan were previous mediastinal RT (n = 5) or extremely large mediastinal treatment volumes (n = 11).
