Abstract

Functional lung avoidance during radiotherapy can help reduce pulmonary toxicity. This study assessed the potential impact of four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT)-ventilation imaging-guided proton radiotherapy (PT) on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) by comparing it with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), which employ photon beams. Thirteen lung cancer patients who received SBRT with 3D-CRT were included in the study. 4DCT ventilation was calculated using the patients' 4DCT data, deformable image registration, and a density-change-based algorithm. Three functional treatment plans sparing the functional lung regions were developed for each patient using 3D-CRT, VMAT, and PT. The prescribed doses and dose constraints were based on the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 0618 protocol. We evaluated the region of interest (ROI) and functional map-based dose-function metrics for 4DCT ventilation and the irradiated dose. Using 3D-CRT, VMAT, and PT, the percentages of the functional lung regions that received ≥ 5 Gy (fV5) were 26.0%, 21.9%, and 10.7%, respectively; the fV10 were 14.4%, 11.4%, and 9.0%, respectively; and fV20 were 6.5%, 6.4%, and 6.6%, respectively, a...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.
