CT-guided adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is rapidly increasing and has been shown to provide advanced treatment tools comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided adaptive therapy. Here, we provide the first case report of a local pancreatic recurrence treatment after definitive resection using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided ART (CT-guided ART) enabled by HyperSight imaging (Varian Medical Systems, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) for daily delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) and target to improve the quality of online ART.

Article Synopsis
  • * The increase in lung cancer survival rates highlights the urgent need to better understand and minimize the cardiovascular complications of radiotherapy, yet current clinical trials have inadequately reported on these cardiac effects due to inconsistent definitions and endpoints.
  • * This review aims to consolidate existing knowledge on cardiotoxicity from conventional radiotherapy in lung cancer, addressing ongoing clinical gaps and recommending advanced evaluations involving oncology and cardiology to improve patient care.

Background: Treatment planning is currently a patient specific, time-consuming, and resource demanding task in radiotherapy. Dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction plays a critical role in automating this process. The geometric relationship between DVHs in radiotherapy plans and organs-at-risk (OAR) and planning target volume (PTV) has been well established.
