Future of Radiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

The British journal of radiology
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy with unique clinical biological profiles such as associated Epstein-Barr virus infection and high radiosensitivity. Radiotherapy has long been recognized as the mainstay for the treatment of NPC. However...

Machine Learning to Build and Validate a Model for Radiation Pneumonitis Prediction in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research
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...

Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance Tasks and Tools: The Many Roles of Machine Learning.

Medical physics
The recent explosion in machine learning efforts in the quality assurance (QA) space has produced a variety of proofs-of-concept many with promising results. Expected outcomes of model implementation include improvements in planning time, plan qualit...

Deep learning in medical imaging and radiation therapy.

Medical physics
The goals of this review paper on deep learning (DL) in medical imaging and radiation therapy are to (a) summarize what has been achieved to date; (b) identify common and unique challenges, and strategies that researchers have taken to address these ...

Survey on deep learning for radiotherapy.

Computers in biology and medicine
More than 50% of cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy, either exclusively or in combination with other methods. The planning and delivery of radiotherapy treatment is a complex process, but can now be greatly facilitated by artificial intell...

High-precision quality assurance of robotic couches with six degrees of freedom.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
A robotic couch capable of six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) of motion was introduced for state-of-the-art radiation therapy. Patient treatment requires precise quality assurance (QA) of 6-DoF. Unfortunately, conventional methods do not provide the requ...

Using Big Data Analytics to Advance Precision Radiation Oncology.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
Big clinical data analytics as a primary component of precision medicine is discussed, identifying where these emerging tools fit in the spectrum of genomics and radiomics research. A learning health system (LHS) is conceptualized that uses clinicall...

[Artificial intelligence applied to radiation oncology].

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
Performing randomised comparative clinical trials in radiation oncology remains a challenge when new treatment modalities become available. One of the most recent examples is the lack of phase III trials demonstrating the superiority of intensity-mod...

Cancer Care Access and Outcomes for American Indian Populations in the United States: Challenges and Models for Progress.

Seminars in radiation oncology
Low socioeconomic and health care access realities of being American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) in the United States combined with decades of data documenting poor cancer outcomes for this population provide a population nested within the United S...
