BACKGROUND: Serum amyloid P-component (SAP) contributes to the clearance of apoptotic cells. As one of the main acute-phase reactants, SAP regulates key aspects of inflammation and sets a threshold for immune cell activation. This study aimed to inve...

Radiation oncology has always been deeply rooted in modeling, from the early days of isoeffect curves to the contemporary Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) initiative. In recent years, medical modeling for both pr...
To develop a patient-specific 'big data' clinical decision tool to predict pneumonitis in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). 61 features were recorded for 201 consecutive patients wit...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a radiotherapy dose-limiting toxicity for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Prior studies have proposed relevant dosimetric constraints to limit this toxicity. Using machine ...

PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis is an important adverse event in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving thoracic radiotherapy. However, the risk of radiation pneumonitis grade ≥ 2 (RP2) has not been well predicted. This study hypot...

BACKGROUND: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a dose-limiting toxicity in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT). As risk factors in the development of RP, patient and tumor characteristics, dosimetric parameters, and treatment features are intertwined, and it is...

PURPOSE: Novel actuarial deep learning neural network (ADNN) architectures are proposed for joint prediction of radiation therapy outcomes-radiation pneumonitis (RP) and local control (LC)-in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Unl...
PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the main source of toxicity in thoracic radiotherapy. This study proposed a deep learning-based dual-omics model, which aims to improve the RP prediction performance by integrating more data points and exploring...
