BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Severe acute mucositis commonly results from head and neck (chemo)radiotherapy. A predictive model of mucositis could guide clinical decision-making and inform treatment planning. We aimed to generate such a model using spatia...
BACKGROUND: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is a new breast treatment modality aiming to reduce treatment time using hypo fractionation. Compared to conventional whole breast irradiation that takes 5 to 6 weeks, APBI is reported to indu...

PURPOSE: Although radiotherapy (RT) is one of the primary treatment modalities used in the treatment of cancer, patients often experience toxicity during or after treatment. RT-induced genitourinary (GU) toxicity is a significant survivorship challen...
One possible adverse effect of breast irradiation is the development of pulmonary fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether planning CT scans can predict which patients are more likely to develop lung lesions after treatment. A retrosp...
