Bolniki s ploščatoceličnim karcinomom glave in vratu (PCKGV) čakajo na obravnavo zaradi kasnitev, ki se lahko zgodijo na ravni bolnika ali ob njegovem vstopu v zdravstveni sistem. Vsako čakanje v procesu obravnave teh bolnikov nosi tveganje za slabši izid zdravljenja. Z namenom, da bi določili še sprejemljivi časovni interval do začetka zdravljenja...

Definitive chemoradiotherapy represents a standard of care treatment for localized anal cancer. National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend radiotherapy (RT) doses of ≥ 45 Gy and escalation to 50.4-59 Gy for advanced disease. Per RTOG 0529, 50.4 Gy was prescribed for early-stage disease (cT1-2N0), and 54 Gy for locally advanced cance...

To simulate an early 20th century viral pneumonia radiotherapy treatment using modern fluoroscopy and evaluated it according to current dose guidelines. Monte Carlo was used to assess the dose distribution on an anthropomorphic phantom. Critical organs were: skin, breasts, esophagus, ribs, vertebrae, heart, thymus, and spinal cord. A 100 kVp beam w...

To determine how frailty and comorbidities affect surgical contraindication in patients with localized prostate cancer (CaP). We evaluated the effects of frailty in 479 patients with localized CaP who were treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), or radiotherapy (RT) eligible for surgery (RT-nonfrail), or those with RT ineligible f...

To investigate men's experiences of receiving external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with neoadjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) for localized prostate cancer (LPCa) in the ProtecT trial. A longitudinal qualitative interview study was embedded in the ProtecT RCT. Sixteen men with clinically LPCa who underwent EBRT in ProtecT were purposively sam...

Radiation nephropathy (RN) is a kidney injury induced by ionizing radiation. In a clinical setting, ionizing radiation is used in radiotherapy (RT). The use and the intensity of radiation therapy is limited by normal-tissue damage including kidney toxicity. Different thresholds for kidney toxicity exist for different entities of RT. Histopathologic...

Data of thoracic in-field reirradiation with two courses of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is scarce. Aim of this study is to investigate feasibility and safety of this approach. Patients with a second course of thoracic SBRT and planning target volume (PTV) overlap were analyzed in this retrospective, multicenter study. All plans and clinic...

This study aims to develop a volume-based algorithm (VBA) that can rapidly optimize rotating gantry arc angles and predict the lung V5 preceding the treatment planning. This phantom study was performed in the dynamic arc therapy planning systems for an esophageal cancer model. The angle of rotation of the gantry around the isocenter as defined as a...
