Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) offers tumor-selective radiation delivery and represents a promising platform for combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). While prior studies suggest that RPT can stimulate antitumor immunity, synergy w...

Purpose: This study aimed to compare QoL outcomes among patients undergoing active breathing control (ABC), voluntary deep inspiration breath hold (vDIBH), and surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT). Methods: This was a non-randomized, three-arm cli...

Introduction. This study aims to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing two primary treatment approaches: radical prostatectomy versus radiotherapy plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data...

Radiation therapy (RT) has been one of the standard treatments for prostate cancer; however, its potential impact on nearby neural structures, such as the lumbosacral plexus (LSP), is often overlooked. The lack of contouring in treatment plans has le...

High doses of ionizing radiation during prenatal development can cause growth restriction, or a decrease in growth of the developing offspring. This outcome of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) can predispose the offspring to lifelong health out...

Online adaptive radiotherapy mitigates errors in absorbed dose delivery due to daily anatomical changes during hypofractionated breast treatment, particularly when comprehensive nodal therapy includes the internal mammary chain. To illustrate this, w...

Background: FLASH radiotherapy delivers ultra-high dose rates with normal tissue sparing, but mechanisms remain unclear. We present a streamlined workflow for establishing a LINAC-based electron FLASH (eFLASH) platform in low-resource settings withou...

Fractal dimension (Frac) and lacunarity (Lac) are frequently proposed as biomarkers of multiscale image complexity, but their incremental value over standardized radiomics remains uncertain. We position both measures within the Image Biomarker Standa...

Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is increasingly used as a primary minimally invasive treatment modality for lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. As a complex, fluoroscopic-guided endovascular procedure, PAE n...

In large-scale radiological events, there is a need to triage affected individuals based on their biological absorbed dose. Biodosimetry measures biological responses in relation to the received dose. Radiation-responsive protein biomarkers in periph...

Radiotherapy employs high-energy X-rays to precisely target tumor tissues while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy structures. Although its clinical efficacy is well established, the immunomodulatory effects of ionizing radiation remain com...

Chronic pelvic neuropathies involving the pudendal, ilioinguinal, and genitofemoral nerves are a major source of refractory pain and disability, yet conventional steroid injections typically provide only short-lived benefit. We retrospectively analyz...

Exposure to ionising radiation may be hazardous to living beings, including humans. Ionising radiation exposure has been shown to cause hepatic dysfunction or even liver cancer in persons receiving radiation therapy who do not have liver disease. Cha...
