Abstract

In this planning study, we studied the benefit of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with multi-criteria optimization (MCO) in locally advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We selected 10 consecutive patients with gross tumor within 1cm of the esophagus eligible for RTOG 1308, randomized phase II trial of 70 Gy protons vs photons. Planning was performed per protocol. In addition, a novel approach for esophagus sparing was applied by making the contralateral esophagus (CE) an avoidance structure. MCO and non-MCO plans underwent double-blinded review. Plan differences in dose-volume histogram parameters were analyzed. Median plan differences were mean lung dose=0.8 Gy (p=0.01), lung V20=1.1% (p=0.06), heart V30=1.0% (p=0.03), heart V45=0.6% (p=0.03), esophagus V60=1.2% (p=0.04), and CE V45=3.2% (p=0.01), all favoring MCO over non-MCO. PTV coverage with 95% dose was ⩾98.0% for both plans. There were 5 minor protocol deviations with non-MCO plans and 2 with MCO. Median improvement of active planning time with MCO was 88 min (p<0.01). Physicians preferred 8 MCO and 2 non-MCO plans (p=0.04). MCO plans yielded significant improvements in organ-at-risk sparing without compromising target coverage, consumed less dosi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
