Of several radiobiological models, the linear-quadratic (LQ) model has been best validated by experimental and clinical data. Clinically, the LQ model is mainly used to estimate equivalent radiotherapy schedules (e.g. calculate the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions, EQD), but increasingly also to predict tumour control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) using logistic models. The selection of accurate LQ parameters α, β and α/β is pivotal for a reliable estimate of radiation response. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of published values for the LQ parameters of human tumours as a guideline for radiation oncologists and radiation researchers to select appropriate radiobiological parameter values for LQ modelling in clinical radiotherapy. We performed a systematic literature search and found sixty-four clinical studies reporting α, β and α/β for tumours.

Of several radiobiological models, the linear-quadratic (LQ) model has been best validated by experimental and clinical data. Clinically, the LQ model is mainly used to estimate equivalent radiotherapy schedules (e.g. calculate the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions, EQD), but increasingly also to predict tumour control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) using logistic models. The selection of accurate LQ parameters α, β and α/β is pivotal for a reliable estimate of radiation response. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of published values for the LQ parameters of human tumours as a guideline for radiation oncologists and radiation researchers to select appropriate radiobiological parameter values for LQ modelling in clinical radiotherapy. We performed a systematic literature search and found sixty-four clinical studies reporting α, β and α/β for tumours.

Methods and Materials: Twelve cases, involving only gross tumor volumes (GTV), were evaluated. Single image sets of (1) maximum intensity projection (MIP3) of end inhale (EI), middle exhale (ME) and end exhale (EE) images; (2) average intensity projection (AVG) of all phase images; and (3) EE images from 4DCT scans were selected as primary images for proton treatment planning. Internal target volumes (ITVs) outlined by a clinician were imported into MIP3, AVG, and EE images as planning targets. Initially, treatment uncertainties were not included in planning. Each plan was imported into phase images of 4DCT scans. Relative volumes of GTVs covered by 95% of prescribed dose and mean ipsilateral lung dose of a phase image obtained by averaging the dose in inspiration and expiration phases were used to evaluate the quality of a plan for a particular case. For comparing different planning strategies, the mean of the averaged relative volumes of GTVs covered by 95% of prescribed dose and its standard deviation for each planning strategy for all cases were used. Then, treatment uncertainties were included in planning. Each plan was recalculated in phase images of 4DCT scans. Same strategies were used for plan evaluation except dose-volume histograms of the planning target volumes (PTVs) instead of GTVs were used and the mean and standard deviation of the relative volumes of PTVs covered by 95% of prescribed dose and the ipsilateral lung dose were used to compare different planning strategies. Results: MIP3 plans without treatment uncertainties yielded 96.7% of the mean relative GTV covered by 95% of prescribed dose (standard deviations of 5.7% for all cases). With treatment uncertainties, MIP3 plans yielded 99.5% of mean relative PTV covered by 95% of prescribed dose (standard deviations of 0.7%). Inclusion of treatment uncertainties improved PTV dose coverage but also increased the ipsilateral mean lung dose in general, and reduced the variations of the PTV dose coverage among different cases. Plans based on conventional axial CT scan (CVCT) gave the poorest PTV dose coverage (about 96% of mean relative PTV covered by 95% isodose) compared to MIP3 and EE plans, which resulted in 100% of PTV covered by 95% isodose for tumors with relatively large motion. AVG plans demonstrated PTV dose coverage of 89.8% and 94.4% for cases with small tumors. MIP3 plans demonstrated superior tumor coverage and were least sensitive to tumor size and tumor location. Conclusion: MIP3 plans based on 4DCT scans were the best planning strategy for proton lung treatment planning.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/65745250" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="b8c2338d5266b211ecb388bc2611e7c6" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":77208820,"asset_id":65745250,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/77208820/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="34446856" href="https://llumc.academia.edu/BaldevPatyal">Baldev Patyal</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="34446856" type="text/json">{"id":34446856,"first_name":"Baldev","last_name":"Patyal","domain_name":"llumc","page_name":"BaldevPatyal","display_name":"Baldev Patyal","profile_url":"https://llumc.academia.edu/BaldevPatyal?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_65745250 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="65745250"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 65745250, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_65745250", });

Background and Purpose: The Radiation Oncology Safety Information System (ROSIS) was established in 2001. The aim of ROSIS is to collate and share information on incidents and near-incidents in radiotherapy, and to learn from these incidents in the context of departmental infrastructure and procedures. Materials and Methods: A voluntary web-based cross-organisational and international reporting and learning system was developed (cf. the <a href="http://www.rosis.info" rel="nofollow">www.rosis.info</a> website). Data is collected via online Department Description and Incident Report Forms. A total of 101 departments, and 1074 incident reports are reviewed. Results: The ROSIS departments represent about 150,000 patients, 343 megavoltage (MV) units, and 114 brachytherapy units. On average, there are 437 patients per MV unit, 281 per radiation oncologist, 387 per physicist and 353 per radiation therapy technologist (RT/RTT). Only 14 departments have a completely networked system of electronic data transfer, while 10 departments have no electronic data transfer. On average seven quality assurance (QA) or quality control (QC) methods are used at each department.

Only 14 departments have a completely networked system of electronic data transfer, while 10 departments have no electronic data transfer. On average seven quality assurance (QA) or quality control (QC) methods are used at each department. A total of 1074 ROSIS reports are analysed;","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":66350503,"asset_id":47045958,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":37632877,"first_name":"Mary","last_name":"Coffey","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"CoffeyMary","display_name":"Mary

This requires timely and realistic prognostication of the needs for radiotherapy. In the present study, the latest prognoses (1993) and the realized changes in infrastructure are evaluated and a new prognosis for the period until 2010, which has been calculated using a new model, is presented. Materials and methods: Data on cancer incidence and use of radiotherapy were obtained from various published national reports and from a survey of all radiotherapy departments. Results: The cancer incidence over the period 1993-1997 was about 10% higher than predicted. In 1996 and 1997, the percentage of new cancer patients treated with radiotherapy was 45.6 and 48.2%, respectively. The absolute number of newly irradiated patients was about 10% higher than foreseen in the prognosis. The needs for radiotherapy infrastructure not only depend on epidemiological data and changes in indications for radiotherapy, but also on changes in types of treatment with different workloads. A new model, which uses four categories for teletherapy and four categories for brachytherapy is described and a new prognosis for the required number of linear accelerators and staff up to the year 2010 is presented. Conclusion: The original prognosis on cancer incidence and radiotherapy patients underestimated the actual figures considerably. The new prognosis, based on a model, which not only accounts for an increase in number of patients, but also for changes in treatment techniques, is expected to more accurately predict and acquire the required radiotherapy capacity.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/61570581" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="c3d458e6ee513f5722d66c705f168d9e" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":74563460,"asset_id":61570581,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74563460/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="46917635" href="https://independent.academia.edu/BenSlotman">Ben Slotman</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="46917635" type="text/json">{"id":46917635,"first_name":"Ben","last_name":"Slotman","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"BenSlotman","display_name":"Ben Slotman","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BenSlotman?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_61570581 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="61570581"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 61570581, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_61570581", });

This requires timely and realistic prognostication of the needs for radiotherapy. In the present study, the latest prognoses (1993) and the realized changes in infrastructure are evaluated and a new prognosis for the period until 2010, which has been calculated using a new model, is presented. Materials and methods: Data on cancer incidence and use of radiotherapy were obtained from various published national reports and from a survey of all radiotherapy departments. Results: The cancer incidence over the period 1993-1997 was about 10% higher than predicted. In 1996 and 1997, the percentage of new cancer patients treated with radiotherapy was 45.6 and 48.2%, respectively. The absolute number of newly irradiated patients was about 10% higher than foreseen in the prognosis. The needs for radiotherapy infrastructure not only depend on epidemiological data and changes in indications for radiotherapy, but also on changes in types of treatment with different workloads. A new model, which uses four categories for teletherapy and four categories for brachytherapy is described and a new prognosis for the required number of linear accelerators and staff up to the year 2010 is presented. Conclusion: The original prognosis on cancer incidence and radiotherapy patients underestimated the actual figures considerably. The new prognosis, based on a model, which not only accounts for an increase in number of patients, but also for changes in treatment techniques, is expected to more accurately predict and acquire the required radiotherapy capacity.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":74563460,"asset_id":61570581,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":46917635,"first_name":"Ben","last_name":"Slotman","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"BenSlotman","display_name":"Ben

with intermediate or high risk prostate cancer treated by combined definitive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Methods: Between June 1995 and January 2015, 375 patients with localized prostate cancer and a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) intermediate or high risk categories were treated by definitive EBRT and ADT. Median duration of androgen blockade was 10 months (range: 3-36 months); Median radiation dose was 72 Gy (Range: 70-78 Gy). Median follow-up time was 5.8 years (range: 0.8-16.39 years). The main study endpoint was biochemical disease free survival (BFS). Results: Forty seven patients (12.5%) developed biochemical recurrence (BCR) during the observation period. Monovariate analysis identified baseline PSA (bPSA) (p = 0.024), T-stage (p = 0.001), Gleason's score (GS) (p = 0.042), radiation dose (p = 0.045), PSA pre-radiation therapy (p = 0.048), and nadir PSA (nPSA), (p < 0.001) as significant variables affecting BCR. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve identified a nPSA of 0.06 ng/ml as optimal cutoff value significantly predicting the patients' risk of BCR (p < 0.001). Multivariate cox regression analysis revealed T-stage, GS, and nPSA as independent variable affecting BFS, while bPSA, age, and radiation dose were not. Conclusion: Nadir PSA at 0.06 is a strong independent predictor of BFS in patients with intermediate or high risk prostate cancer treated by definitive EBRT and ADT.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/50552907" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="04fac95f1438669bc58afad78673f9cd" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":68490291,"asset_id":50552907,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/68490291/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="37854444" href="https://independent.academia.edu/RajaKhauli">Raja Khauli</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="37854444" type="text/json">{"id":37854444,"first_name":"Raja","last_name":"Khauli","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"RajaKhauli","display_name":"Raja Khauli","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/RajaKhauli?f_ri=2443","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/37854444/67415689/55782091/s65_raja.khauli.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_50552907 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="50552907"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 50552907, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_50552907", });

Methods: Between June 1995 and January 2015, 375 patients with localized prostate cancer and a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) intermediate or high risk categories were treated by definitive EBRT and ADT. Median duration of androgen blockade was 10 months (range: 3-36 months); Median radiation dose was 72 Gy (Range: 70-78 Gy). Median follow-up time was 5.8 years (range: 0.8-16.39 years). The main study endpoint was biochemical disease free survival (BFS). Results: Forty seven patients (12.5%) developed biochemical recurrence (BCR) during the observation period. Monovariate analysis identified baseline PSA (bPSA) (p = 0.024), T-stage (p = 0.001), Gleason's score (GS) (p = 0.042), radiation dose (p = 0.045), PSA pre-radiation therapy (p = 0.048), and nadir PSA (nPSA), (p \u003c 0.001) as significant variables affecting BCR. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve identified a nPSA of 0.06 ng/ml as optimal cutoff value significantly predicting the patients' risk of BCR (p \u003c 0.001). Multivariate cox regression analysis revealed T-stage, GS, and nPSA as independent variable affecting BFS, while bPSA, age, and radiation dose were not. Conclusion: Nadir PSA at 0.06 is a strong independent predictor of BFS in patients with intermediate or high risk prostate cancer treated by definitive EBRT and ADT.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":68490291,"asset_id":50552907,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":37854444,"first_name":"Raja","last_name":"Khauli","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"RajaKhauli","display_name":"Raja Khauli","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/RajaKhauli?f_ri=2443","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/37854444/67415689/55782091/s65_raja.khauli.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2443,"name":"Radiation Oncology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Oncology?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":12426,"name":"Treatment Outcome","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Treatment_Outcome?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":19354,"name":"Radiotherapy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiotherapy?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":289271,"name":"Aged","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Aged?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":1186440,"name":"Prostate Specific Antigen","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prostate_Specific_Antigen?f_ri=2443"},{"id":3082379,"name":"Disease Free Survival","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Disease_Free_Survival?f_ri=2443"},{"id":3205111,"name":"Prostatic neoplasms","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prostatic_neoplasms?f_ri=2443"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_13783303 coauthored" data-work_id="13783303" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/13783303/Dosimetric_comparison_between_coplanar_and_non_coplanar_field_radiotherapy_for_ethmoid_sinus_cancer">Dosimetric comparison between coplanar and non coplanar field radiotherapy for ethmoid sinus cancer</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest">To compare non coplanar field (NCF) with coplanar field (CF) -intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning for ethmoid cancer.</div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/13783303" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="eca0a199908a33431ebcb1da8ea0ef72" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":44957465,"asset_id":13783303,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44957465/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="32891222" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JeanbernardDubois">Jean-bernard Dubois</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="32891222" type="text/json">{"id":32891222,"first_name":"Jean-bernard","last_name":"Dubois","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"JeanbernardDubois","display_name":"Jean-bernard Dubois","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JeanbernardDubois?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-13783303">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-13783303"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://univ-montpellier.academia.edu/ClaireLemanski">Claire Lemanski</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-13783303'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-13783303').html();

Between 11/2001 and 3/2012, 203 patients with HR disease received CRT to the prostate (78-82 Gy) and pelvic lymph nodes (46-50 Gy) with ADT (6 m-2 years). Median follow-up was 50 months (12 m-142 m). Biochemical failure was defined according to Phoenix definition. Imaging studies were used to identify local, regional or metastatic failure. Four different VHR/HR groupings were formed using the 2014 and revised 2015 NCCN guidelines. Differences were examined using Kaplan Meier (KM) estimates with log rank test and uni- and multivariate Cox regression analysis (MVA). Failure occurred in 30/203 patients (15%). Median time to failure was 30 m (4 m-76 m). KM estimate of 4 year biochemical disease free survival (b-DFS) for the entire cohort was 87% (95%CI: 82-92%).

Methods and Materials: The dosimetry insert in the RPC head-and-neck phantom was replaced with an FX cylindrical gel dosimeter. Two gels were calibrated, independently irradiated with 6-MV X-ray beams and scanned using laser and cone-beam (VistaÔ) optical CT, respectively. For matching dose slices, measured dose distributions were compared with Pinnacle 3 computed distributions. Results: Within high-dose regions and low gradients, doses measured using laser CT were 2% to 3% less than the computed dose, whereas with cone-beam CT they were 4% to 5% less. Inside the central 90% of the gel cylinder diameter, the fraction of voxels satisfying the two-dimensional gamma analysis (5% dose difference, 3-mm distance to agreement) with laser-beam-and cone-beam-measured dose distributions were 98.4% and 99.0%, respectively. A three-dimensional gamma analysis with cone-beam data revealed that 96.7% of voxels within the central 90% gel volume satisfied the above criteria. Within the axial and sagittal planes through the primary planning target volume (PTV), computed and measured doses using GAFChromic Ò EBT film (RPC measured) and cone-beam scanned FX gel generally agreed. At equivalent points in the planning target volumes, computed, thermoluminescent dosimeter (RPC-measured), and gel point doses agreed to within 5.1% in absolute dose. Conclusions: Laser and cone-beam CT yield comparable dose distributions in high-dose regions. The RPC head phantom and optical CT-scanned FX gels can be used for accurate intensity-modulated radiation therapy dose verification in three dimensions.

Purpose of our study was to quantify operator-related variability in the contouring of PSCM on Computed Tomography (CT) scans and adherence with contours derived from MR images. Materials and methods: Three sets of treatment planning CT and their corresponding MR images were selected. Contouring of the PSCM was performed using both a literature-based method, derived from literature review, and an optimized method, derived from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images thus obtaining ''literature-based'' and ''optimized'' contours. Each operator contoured the PSCM on CT scans according to both methods for three times in three different days. Inter-and intra-operator variability and adherence to a contour obtained from MR images (named ''MR-derived'' contour) were analyzed. Results: Thirty-four operators participated and 612 contours were obtained. Both intra-and inter-operator variability and adherence to the ''MR-derived'' contour were significantly different between the two methods (p 6 0.05). The ''optimized'' method showed a lower intra-and inter-operator variability and a higher adherence to the ''MR-derived'' contour. Conclusions: The ''optimized'' method ameliorates both operator-related variability and adherence with MR images.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/13093254" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="d19be88bdf1a0399087e7079e885fb70" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":45675430,"asset_id":13093254,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/45675430/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="32922706" href="https://independent.academia.edu/AlessiaReali">Alessia Reali</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="32922706" type="text/json">{"id":32922706,"first_name":"Alessia","last_name":"Reali","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"AlessiaReali","display_name":"Alessia Reali","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/AlessiaReali?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-13093254">+2</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-13093254"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/ElvioRussi">Elvio Russi</a></span></div><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/DomenicoCante">Domenico Cante</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-13093254'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-13093254').html();

Conclusions: The ''optimized'' method ameliorates both operator-related variability and adherence with MR images.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":45675430,"asset_id":13093254,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":32922706,"first_name":"Alessia","last_name":"Reali","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"AlessiaReali","display_name":"Alessia Reali","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/AlessiaReali?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"},{"id":32392285,"first_name":"Elvio","last_name":"Russi","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"ElvioRussi","display_name":"Elvio Russi","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/ElvioRussi?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"},{"id":32342614,"first_name":"Domenico","last_name":"Cante","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"DomenicoCante","display_name":"Domenico Cante","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/DomenicoCante?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2443,"name":"Radiation Oncology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Oncology?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":6200,"name":"Magnetic Resonance Imaging","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Magnetic_Resonance_Imaging?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":45213,"name":"Italy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Italy?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":62112,"name":"Prospective studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prospective_studies?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":67405,"name":"Toxicity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Toxicity?f_ri=2443"},{"id":375296,"name":"Observer Variation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Observer_Variation?f_ri=2443"},{"id":413194,"name":"Analysis of Variance","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Analysis_of_Variance?f_ri=2443"},{"id":549280,"name":"Reproducibility of Results","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Reproducibility_of_Results?f_ri=2443"},{"id":959921,"name":"X ray Computed Tomography","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/X_ray_Computed_Tomography?f_ri=2443"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_18793947" data-work_id="18793947" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/18793947/Magnetic_Resonance_Imaging_of_Rectal_Cancer_What_Radiation_Oncologists_Need_to_Know">Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Rectal Cancer: What Radiation Oncologists Need to Know</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/18793947" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="01b2b73a8ac640ce58f5e64635ea3c51" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":40258550,"asset_id":18793947,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/40258550/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="38875945" href="https://independent.academia.edu/GeerardBeets">Geerard Beets</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="38875945" type="text/json">{"id":38875945,"first_name":"Geerard","last_name":"Beets","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"GeerardBeets","display_name":"Geerard Beets","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GeerardBeets?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_18793947 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="18793947"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 18793947, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_18793947", });

The complexity of techniques in imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology continues to increase with each passing year. It is therefore imperative that training requirements and competencies are routinely reviewed and updated to reflect the changing environment in hospitals and clinics across the country. In 2010, the AAPM Work Group on Periodic Review of Medical Physics Residency Training was formed and charged with updating AAPM Report Number 90. This work group includes AAPM members with extensive experience in clinical, professional, and educational aspects of medical physics. The resulting report, AAPM Report Number 249, concentrates on the clinical and professional knowledge needed to function independently as a practicing medical physicist in the areas of radiation oncology, imaging, and nuclear medicine, and constitutes a revision to AAPM Report Number 90.

The complexity of techniques in imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology continues to increase with each passing year. It is therefore imperative that training requirements and competencies are routinely reviewed and updated to reflect the changing environment in hospitals and clinics across the country. In 2010, the AAPM Work Group on Periodic Review of Medical Physics Residency Training was formed and charged with updating AAPM Report Number 90. This work group includes AAPM members with extensive experience in clinical, professional, and educational aspects of medical physics.

Methods and Materials: In June 1999, the Society ordered an analysis of the state of radiation oncology. It created a survey that was sent to all radiotherapy units in Spain. A database was created in which 230 variables were analyzed. Results: Eighty-four centers were analyzed, and 157 external beam irradiation, megavoltage units were counted, of which 67 were cobalt units and 90 were linear accelerators. The cobalt units worked an average of 11.4 h daily and the linear accelerators 11.6 h. The number of patients/unit/y was 472 for the cobalt units and 442 for the linear accelerators. The number of patients by physician and year was 179. Each center received a mean of 958 new patients annually. The average between the reception and start of treatment was 25.52 days (maximum 60), and it was estimated that only 38.1% of cancers were irradiated. The number of radiation oncologists working was 392. Spain has a deficit of 297 radiation oncologists. Conclusion: There is a need for 44 MV units and for the replacement of 67 cobalt units. The present lack of units has had an impact on palliative treatment, which has resulted in pharmacy costs. As long as these instrumental deficiencies are not solved, waiting lists will continue to be inherent to the system. There are also important staff deficiencies, in that about 297 radiation oncologists would be needed to cover the needs.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/13781999" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="e2240a32a356b928e78fbaac92de3a32" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":44960005,"asset_id":13781999,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/44960005/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="32890633" href="https://unizar.academia.edu/RicardoEsco">Ricardo Esco</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="32890633" type="text/json">{"id":32890633,"first_name":"Ricardo","last_name":"Esco","domain_name":"unizar","page_name":"RicardoEsco","display_name":"Ricardo Esco","profile_url":"https://unizar.academia.edu/RicardoEsco?f_ri=2443","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/32890633/126535321/115911247/s65_ricardo.esco.jpeg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-13781999">+2</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-13781999"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/amaliapalacios">amalia palacios</a></span></div><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/AlbertoBiete">Alberto Biete</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-13781999'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-13781999').html();

Founded in 1963, the Ivan H. Smith Memorial Studentship (ISMS) is a summer program that familiarizes students with the work of several cancer centers and aims to attract medical students into oncology. Methods. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the impact of the ISMS Program on career choice in radiation oncology (RO). Results.

The aim of the current report is to describe the distribution of radiotherapy equipment in European countries. An 84-item questionnaire was sent out to European countries, principally through their national societies. The current report includes a detailed analysis of radiotherapy departments and equipment (questionnaire items 26-29), analyzed in relation to the annual number of treatment courses and the socio-economic status of the countries.

HERO has the overall aim to develop a knowledge base of the provision of radiotherapy in Europe and build a model for health economic evaluation of radiation treatments at the European level. The aim of the current report is to describe the distribution of radiotherapy equipment in European countries. An 84-item questionnaire was sent out to European countries, principally through their national societies. The current report includes a detailed analysis of radiotherapy departments and equipment (questionnaire items 26-29), analyzed in relation to the annual number of treatment courses and the socio-economic status of the countries. The analysis is based on validated responses from 28 of the 40 European countries defined by the European Cancer Observatory (ECO).

Clinical limitations to the current knowledge base include the need for more data on the effect of patient-related cofactors, interactions between dose distribution and cytotoxic or molecular targeted agents, and the effe...","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":40022098,"asset_id":18376608,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":38372746,"first_name":"Lawrence","last_name":"Marks","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"MarksLawrence","display_name":"Lawrence Marks","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/MarksLawrence?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2443,"name":"Radiation Oncology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Oncology?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":19870,"name":"Research","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Research?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":61120,"name":"Model validation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Model_validation?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":118537,"name":"Normal tissue complication probability","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Normal_tissue_complication_probability?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":218206,"name":"Meta Analysis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Meta_Analysis?f_ri=2443"},{"id":235677,"name":"Behavioral Animal Models","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Behavioral_Animal_Models?f_ri=2443"},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences?f_ri=2443"},{"id":246163,"name":"Knowledge base","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Knowledge_base?f_ri=2443"},{"id":281562,"name":"Research Priorities","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Research_Priorities?f_ri=2443"},{"id":375054,"name":"Rats","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rats?f_ri=2443"},{"id":469033,"name":"Radiation Injuries","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Injuries?f_ri=2443"},{"id":504035,"name":"Three Dimensional","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Three_Dimensional?f_ri=2443"},{"id":549280,"name":"Reproducibility of Results","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Reproducibility_of_Results?f_ri=2443"},{"id":698785,"name":"Side Effect","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Side_Effect?f_ri=2443"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_7446642" data-work_id="7446642" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/7446642/Oncoradiology">Oncoradiology</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">This is the seventh in a series of short reviews of internet-based radiological educational resources and will focus on oncological radiology.

For more than two decades, the abilities of melatonin as a potent radioprotector against toxic effects of ionizing radiation (IR) has been proved. However, in recent years, several studies have been conducted to illustrate how melatonin protects normal cells against IR. Studies proposed that melatonin is able to directly neutralize free radicals produced by IR, leading to the production of some low toxic products. Moreover, melatonin affects several signaling pathways, such as inflammatory responses, antioxidant defense, DNA repair response enzymes, pro-oxidant enzymes etc. Animal studies has confirmed that melatonin is able to alleviate radiation-induced cell death via inhibiting pro-apoptosis and upregulation of anti-apoptosis genes. These properties are very interesting for clinical radiotherapy applications, as well as mitigation of radiation injury in a possible radiation disaster. An interesting property of melatonin is mitochondrial ROS targeting that has been proposed as a strategy for mitigating effects in radiosensitive organs such as bone marrow, gastrointestinal system and lungs. However, there is a need to prove the mitigatory effects of melatonin in experimental studies. Conclusion: In this review, we aim to clarify the molecular mechanisms of radioprotective effects of melatonin, as well as possible applications as a radiation countermeasure in accidental exposure or nuclear/radiological disasters.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/38366967" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="2f103148248fdd19da019b2c87290655" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":58420209,"asset_id":38366967,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/58420209/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="652424" href="https://kums.academia.edu/MasoudNajafi">Masoud Najafi</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="652424" type="text/json">{"id":652424,"first_name":"Masoud","last_name":"Najafi","domain_name":"kums","page_name":"MasoudNajafi","display_name":"Masoud Najafi","profile_url":"https://kums.academia.edu/MasoudNajafi?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_38366967 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="38366967"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 38366967, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_38366967", });

It is faced with many challenges, such as the endemicity of HCV and schistosomiasis causing the high prevalence rates of hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer respectively. In recognition of their tremendous health and economic burden, the Egyptian government established the “100 Million Healthy Lives” campaign in September 2018 for the screening of HBV, HCV, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus patients. MoH also founded the National Committee for Control of Viral Hepatitis to implement an integrated national strategy to contain the situation. More oncology-specialized hospitals and units are built every year to cope with the increased demand, such as the New National Cancer Institute, Shefaa El-Orman hospital, and Baheya hospital. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), especially neoplasms, are the twenty-first century’s biggest challenge after significant control of communicable ones with the advancement of antimicrobial and progression of community health and epidemiology knowledge.

It is faced with many challenges, such as the endemicity of HCV and schistosomiasis causing the high prevalence rates of hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer respectively. In recognition of their tremendous health and economic burden, the Egyptian government established the “100 Million Healthy Lives” campaign in September 2018 for the screening of HBV, HCV, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus patients. MoH also founded the National Committee for Control of Viral Hepatitis to implement an integrated national strategy to contain the situation. More oncology-specialized hospitals and units are built every year to cope with the increased demand, such as the New National Cancer Institute, Shefaa El-Orman hospital, and Baheya hospital. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), especially neoplasms, are the twenty-first century’s biggest challenge after significant control of communicable ones with the advancement of antimicrobial and progression of community health and epidemiology knowledge. Hence, we believe more light should be shed on their burden in society to increase public awareness and encourage investment in the health care sector.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":82250331,"asset_id":73904144,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":73185571,"first_name":"Ahmed","last_name":"Ibrahim","domain_name":"shams","page_name":"AHussein","display_name":"Ahmed H .

Bien qu'un grand nombre d'articles aient et e publi es a propos des soins centr es sur le patient, de l'engagement du patient et de l'exp erience du patient, peu de ces articles portent sur l'exp erience du patient en imagerie m edicale ou en radioth erapie. Dans cet article de synth ese, les auteurs se penchent sur les notions sous-jacentes a l'exp erience du patient et les facteurs qui contribuent a une exp erience positive pour le patient. Ces facteurs comprennent la bonne communication, les soins pour le patient en tant que personne et le soutien emotionnel. Les patients qui reçoivent des soins dans les services d'imagerie m edicale et de radioth erapie ont des attentes largement similaires bien que cela soit difficile a assurer dans un environnement o u l'accent est mis sur la technologie et o u le temps est limit

To better appreciate Australasian resources and conditions, the group conducted a survey in early 2005. The aims were to survey current practices, to emphasize variations in practice and to determine the availability of advanced imaging and treatment methods to assess resources. A survey was sent to all Australian and New Zealand radiotherapy departments. The survey requested details of treatment with respect to external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, optimization methods, reporting methods, scheduling brachytherapy and access to imaging and methods of work-up. Thirty-four departments were contacted with 27 (79%) responses returned. Twenty-one departments use brachytherapy. Doses and fractionation schedules varied and use of sectional imaging was minimal. Individualized dosimetry is practised in a limited fashion by 60% of the surveyed departments. There is high compliance with International Commission on Radiation Units 38 dose reporting recommendations. All brachytherapy units identified have access to CT and 85% to MRI within the hospital settings. Brachytherapy for cancer of the cervix is, currently, largely based on the Manchester system. The survey did emphasize considerable variation in dose and fractionation schemes between departments. The Australasian Brachytherapy Group subgroup intends to proceed with the process of formulating recommendations for cervix brachytherapy. It is intended that these will cover the use of image-based planning and treatment, target definition(s), verification of brachytherapy treatments and a uniform dose-reporting mechanism.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/20408177" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="c69e8c02da629b6461f2be009d28b5c7" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":41961818,"asset_id":20408177,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/41961818/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="33206099" href="https://monash.academia.edu/SylviaVanDyk">Sylvia Van Dyk</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="33206099" type="text/json">{"id":33206099,"first_name":"Sylvia Van","last_name":"Dyk","domain_name":"monash","page_name":"SylviaVanDyk","display_name":"Sylvia Van Dyk","profile_url":"https://monash.academia.edu/SylviaVanDyk?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_20408177 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="20408177"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 20408177, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_20408177", });

To better appreciate Australasian resources and conditions, the group conducted a survey in early 2005. The aims were to survey current practices, to emphasize variations in practice and to determine the availability of advanced imaging and treatment methods to assess resources. A survey was sent to all Australian and New Zealand radiotherapy departments. The survey requested details of treatment with respect to external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, optimization methods, reporting methods, scheduling brachytherapy and access to imaging and methods of work-up. Thirty-four departments were contacted with 27 (79%) responses returned. Twenty-one departments use brachytherapy. Doses and fractionation schedules varied and use of sectional imaging was minimal. Individualized dosimetry is practised in a limited fashion by 60% of the surveyed departments. There is high compliance with International Commission on Radiation Units 38 dose reporting recommendations. All brachytherapy units identified have access to CT and 85% to MRI within the hospital settings. Brachytherapy for cancer of the cervix is, currently, largely based on the Manchester system. The survey did emphasize considerable variation in dose and fractionation schemes between departments. The Australasian Brachytherapy Group subgroup intends to proceed with the process of formulating recommendations for cervix brachytherapy. It is intended that these will cover the use of image-based planning and treatment, target definition(s), verification of brachytherapy treatments and a uniform dose-reporting mechanism.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":41961818,"asset_id":20408177,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":33206099,"first_name":"Sylvia Van","last_name":"Dyk","domain_name":"monash","page_name":"SylviaVanDyk","display_name":"Sylvia Van Dyk","profile_url":"https://monash.academia.edu/SylviaVanDyk?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2443,"name":"Radiation Oncology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Oncology?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":6697,"name":"Australia","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australia?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":8726,"name":"Brachytherapy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Brachytherapy?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":116108,"name":"New Zealand","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/New_Zealand?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences?f_ri=2443"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_34839493" data-work_id="34839493" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/34839493/Radiation_therapy_oncology_group_Radiosurgery_quality_assurance_guidelines">Radiation therapy oncology group: Radiosurgery quality assurance guidelines</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">A multidisciplinery Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) task force has developed quality assurance guidelines for radiosurgery.

Knowledge of tumor dissemination pathways and different genetic and epigenetic tumor profiles, as well as their evolution during disease progression, along with new diagnostic and therapeutic advances has allowed us to address these situations with local ablative treatments such as stereotactic body radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery. These treatments provide high rates of local control with low toxicity in metastatic spread for primary cancers including those of pulmonary, digestive, and renal origin, while these types of treatments are still emerging for cancers of prostatic origin. There are several retrospective studies showing the effectiveness of such treatments in prostate cancer metastases, which has led to the emergence of prospective studies on the issue and even some phase II studies intended to prevent or delay systemic treatments such as chemotherapy. Here we collect together and review these past experiences and the studies currently underway. These types of radiotherapy treatments redefine how we approach extracranial metastatic disease and open up new possibilities for combination therapy with new systemic treatment agents.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/27100764" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="578a8808d909ef72639cf9ebc83e226f" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":47352218,"asset_id":27100764,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47352218/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="51150174" href="https://independent.academia.edu/MuelasSoria">Muelas Soria</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="51150174" type="text/json">{"id":51150174,"first_name":"Muelas","last_name":"Soria","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"MuelasSoria","display_name":"Muelas Soria","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/MuelasSoria?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-27100764">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-27100764"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/Gonz%C3%A1lezVidal">González Vidal</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-27100764'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-27100764').html();

Knowledge of tumor dissemination pathways and different genetic and epigenetic tumor profiles, as well as their evolution during disease progression, along with new diagnostic and therapeutic advances has allowed us to address these situations with local ablative treatments such as stereotactic body radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery. These treatments provide high rates of local control with low toxicity in metastatic spread for primary cancers including those of pulmonary, digestive, and renal origin, while these types of treatments are still emerging for cancers of prostatic origin. There are several retrospective studies showing the effectiveness of such treatments in prostate cancer metastases, which has led to the emergence of prospective studies on the issue and even some phase II studies intended to prevent or delay systemic treatments such as chemotherapy. Here we collect together and review these past experiences and the studies currently underway. These types of radiotherapy treatments redefine how we approach extracranial metastatic disease and open up new possibilities for combination therapy with new systemic treatment agents.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":47352218,"asset_id":27100764,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":51150174,"first_name":"Muelas","last_name":"Soria","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"MuelasSoria","display_name":"Muelas Soria","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/MuelasSoria?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"},{"id":51161753,"first_name":"González","last_name":"Vidal","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"GonzálezVidal","display_name":"González Vidal","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/Gonz%C3%A1lezVidal?f_ri=2443","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2443,"name":"Radiation Oncology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiation_Oncology?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":4482,"name":"Palliative Care","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Palliative_Care?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true},{"id":19354,"name":"Radiotherapy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Radiotherapy?f_ri=2443","nofollow":true}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_42010337" data-work_id="42010337" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/42010337/Covid_19_antibody_of_Covid">Covid 19 antibody of Covid</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/42010337" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="05fc8282dac42f3b46e1a3a1d3921db4" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":62134872,"asset_id":42010337,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/62134872/download_file?st=MTc0MDMzNTQ2Nyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="54590006" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JennyChung13">Jenny Chung</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="54590006" type="text/json">{"id":54590006,"first_name":"Jenny","last_name":"Chung","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"JennyChung13","display_name":"Jenny Chung","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JennyChung13?f_ri=2443","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/54590006/52335026/40441511/s65_jenny.chung.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_42010337 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="42010337"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 42010337, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_42010337", });
