Assessment of PlanIQ Feasibility DVH for head and neck treatment planning
INTRODUCTION Designing a radiation plan that optimally delivers both target coverage and normal tissue sparing is challenging. There are limited tools to determine what is dosimetrically achievable and frequently the experience of the planner/physician is relied upon to make these determinations. PlanIQ software provides a tool that uses target and organ at risk (OAR) geometry to indicate the d...
متن کاملBreaking the DNA damage response to improve cervical cancer treatment.
Every year, cervical cancer affects ∼500,000 women worldwide, and ∼275,000 patients die of this disease. The addition of platin-based chemotherapy to primary radiotherapy has increased 5-year survival of advanced-stage cervical cancer patients, which is, however, still only 66%. One of the factors thought to contribute to treatment failure is the ability of tumor cells to repair chemoradiothera...
متن کاملIncorporating big data into treatment plan evaluation: Development of statistical DVH metrics and visualization dashboards
Purpose To develop statistical dose-volume histogram (DVH)-based metrics and a visualization method to quantify the comparison of treatment plans with historical experience and among different institutions. Methods and materials The descriptive statistical summary (ie, median, first and third quartiles, and 95% confidence intervals) of volume-normalized DVH curve sets of past experiences was ...
متن کاملA moment-based approach for DVH-guided radiotherapy treatment plan optimization.
The dose-volume histogram (DVH) is a clinically relevant criterion to evaluate the quality of a treatment plan. It is hence desirable to incorporate DVH constraints into treatment plan optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy. Yet, the direct inclusion of the DVH constraints into a treatment plan optimization model typically leads to great computational difficulties due to the non...
متن کاملExploration of Women's Perspective on Cervical Cancer: A Qualitative Study
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the world. All women who are sexually active can be at risk for cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable, if detected and treated at an early stage. Objective: This study aimed to explore women's perspective on cervical cancer till proper recognition and more comprehensive information on the exp...
