Background: Free-breathing expiration-gating (EG) is a non-invasive technique used to manage respiratory-induced tumor motion. This study explores the effectiveness of EG stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung tumors using 10MV FFF VMAT.
Methods And Materials: The study included 41 patients (50 targets) treated with EG lung SBRT between September 2019 and February 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), or "brittle bone disease," is a rare genetic disorder that causes fragile bones and potential deformities due to defects in collagen type I, requiring comprehensive care throughout a patient's life stages.
- - Treatment primarily focuses on supportive measures, including medications like bisphosphonates and various orthopedic surgeries, which have shown positive results, especially in children, but there is a notable lack of guidelines for adults transitioning from pediatric care.
- - A systematic review of existing literature emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach by various medical specialists to enhance the transition from pediatric to adult care for OI patients, stressing the importance of education, personalized plans, and ongoing follow-up.
Background: High-energy transmission beams (TBs) are currently the main delivery method for proton pencil beam scanning ultrahigh dose-rate (UHDR) FLASH radiotherapy. TBs place the Bragg-peaks behind the target, outside the patient, making delivery practical and achievement of high dose-rates more likely. However, they lead to higher integral dose compared to conventional intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), in which Bragg-peaks are placed within the tumor.
