Introduction: The delineation of organs-at-risk and lymph node areas is a crucial step in radiotherapy, but it is time-consuming and associated with substantial user-dependent variability in contouring. Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to be the solution to facilitate and standardize this work. The objective of this study is to compare eight available AI software programs in terms of technical aspects and accuracy for contouring organs-at-risk and lymph node areas with current international contouring recommendations.

At the end of their commercialization in 2015 we have replaced them by high-dose-rate (HDR) BT via interstitial catheters. We assessed efficacy and tolerance as soon as this technique was implemented.

- This study investigates late rectal and urinary toxicities in prostate cancer patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) at different radiation doses (70Gy, 74Gy, and 80Gy) and aims to find predictors of radiation toxicity and biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS).
- The results show that after a median follow-up of 77 months, the cumulative rate of late grade ≥2 rectal and urinary toxicities was 6.3% and 25.3%, respectively, with only dose and baseline symptom scores influencing the likelihood of these toxicities.
- Biochemical relapse-free survival rates after five years were substantial, varying by risk group (97.5% for low, 84
