Background And Purpose: Data on immunoresponse after SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for patients treated with exclusive radiotherapy (RT) are scarce. Since RT may affect the immune system, we conducted the MORA trial (Antibody response and cell-mediated immunity of MOderna mRNA-1273 vaccine in patients treated with RAdiotherapy).
Materials And Methods: Data regarding humoral and cellular immune response of patients treated with RT were prospectively collected after the second and third dose of mRNA vaccines.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how in vivo dosimetry (IVD) helps manage risks during lung cancer treatments that use a special kind of radiation.
- They checked the treatment results for 93 patients in two phases to find and fix mistakes.
- By making better procedures and checking things carefully, they saw fewer errors and improved the accuracy of the treatments.
Purpose: To analyze results from three years of in vivo transit EPID dosimetry of abdominal and pelvic stereotactic radiotherapy and to establish tolerance levels for routine clinical use.
Material: 80 stereotactic VMAT treatments (152 fractions) targeting the abdomen or pelvis were analyzed. In vivo 3D doses were reconstructed with an EPID commercial algorithm.
Aim: To quantify the variability between radiation oncologists (ROs) when outlining axillary nodes in breast cancer.
Material And Methods: For each participating center, three ROs with different levels of expertise, i.e.
