CT-based radiotherapy workflow is limited by poor soft tissue definition in the pelvis and reliance on rigid registration methods. Current image-guided radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy models therefore have limited ability to improve clinical outcomes. The advent of MRI-guided radiotherapy solutions provides the opportunity to overcome these limitations with the potential to deliver online real-time MRI-based plan adaptation on a daily basis, a true "plan of the day." This review describes the application of MRI guided radiotherapy in two pelvic tumour sites likely to benefit from this approach.

Prediction and Monitoring of Adaptive Radiation Therapy Timing Using Two-dimensional X-ray Image-based Water Equivalent Thickness.
Anticancer Res
January 2025
Proton Medical Research Center, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Background/aim: This study aimed to predict the optimal timing for adaptive radiation therapy (ART) using two-dimensional X-ray image-based water equivalent thickness (2DWET).
Patients And Methods: Forty patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer underwent Computed Tomography (CT) rescanning during treatment. An adaptive score (AS) was proposed to guide ART decisions based on changes in four dose indices: target coverage, spinal cord dose, parotid gland dose, and over-dose volume.
Dose Recommendations for Prostrate-specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography (PSMA PET) Guided Boost Irradiation to Lymphatic Tissue in Prostate Adenocarcinoma.

Alberta Health Services, South Zone, Lethbridge, AB, Canada; University of Calgary, Department of Oncology, Calgary, AB, Canada; University of Calgary, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Calgary, AB, Canada.
Aims: Prostrate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) imaging has led to an increase in identifiable small volume metastatic disease in prostate adenocarcinoma. There is clinical equipoise in how to treat these using radiotherapy regimens. The aim of this study is to determine an adequate dosing regimen for small volume lymphatic metastases in prostate adenocarcinoma.

Background: Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is considered a de-escalating adjuvant treatment for breast cancer low-risk patients. However, the broader criteria applied by the Taiwan IORT Study Cooperative Group led to an increased rate of locoregional recurrence (LRR) among patients receiving only IORT. Consequently, we revised the criteria for sole IORT treatment to include patients who meet the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) eligibility standards.

Research Program in Systems Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: There is a lack of prognosticators of overall survival (OS) for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).
Objectives: We examined collaborative machine learning (cML) in estimating the OS of OSCC patients. The prognostic significance of the clinicopathological parameters was examined.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Ovarian Tumors With Histopathological Correlation: A Revisit to Borderline Category.

Department of Radiodiagnosis, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India.
Background: Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) comprise 15%-20% of all ovarian epithelial malignancies. The majority of them are serous tumors followed by mucinous tumors. Pre-operative cytological diagnosis plays an important role with histopathology being the gold standard.
