Pre-treatment T2-weighted magnetic resonance radiomics for prediction of loco-regional recurrence after image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of radiomic features of pre-treatment T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) for clinical outcomes of radiotherapy in cervical cancer patients.

Material And Methods: Ninety cervical cancer patients with stage IB-IVA were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received definitive radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy.

Non-irradiated area of intraoperative radiotherapy with electron technique: outcomes and pattern of failure in early-stage breast cancer from a single-center, registry study.

Introduction: Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) with electrons has revealed to have higher rates of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) than external beam radiotherapy in updated large-scale, randomized controlled trials in 2021. This study details the oncological outcomes of IORT with electron beams using our strict IORT policies. We have found new and important observations regarding the location of recurrence.

Clinical Outcome Comparison between CT-Guided Versus all MRI-Guided Scenarios in Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer: A Single-Institute Experience.

Objectives: Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) is the standard of care for patients with cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to compare the treatment outcomes and adverse effects of computed tomography (CT)-guided and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided scenarios.

Materials And Methods: Data of patients with cervical cancer treated using external beam radiotherapy followed by IGABT from 2012 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.

Comparison of dosimetric parameters for predicting radiation-induced cataract in paediatric patients.

Introduction: This study compared the predictive ability of radiation-induced cataract between maximum point dose of the lens (Lens Dmax) ≥7 Gy, mean lens dose (Lens Dmean) ≥7 Gy, Lens Dmax ≥10 Gy, and Lens Dmean ≥10 Gy.

Methods: Patients aged 3-18 years received cranial irradiation or radiation therapy at head and neck area between January 2010 and December 2019 at our institute were included. Patients without baseline and/or follow-up eye examination were excluded.

Development and Internal Validation of a Prediction Model for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Using BMI and Inflammatory Response for Deciding Sequence of Chemotherapy.

Purpose: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (CRT-AC) and induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC-CRT) are among the best treatments in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to develop a model for deciding the sequence of chemotherapy in NPC.

Methods: Data were separated into two cohorts.
