Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare tumors that present unique challenges, often due to late presentation, and the proximity of critical organs makes complete surgical resection challenging. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant short-course radi...
Purpose: No guidelines exist to delineate radiation therapy (RT) targets for the treatment of multiple glioblastoma (mGBM). This study analyzes margins around the gross tumor volume (GTV) to create a clinical target volume (CTV), comparing response parameters and modalities of r...
Purpose: Implementing intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) techniques with high-energy sources like 60Co has always been challenging due to the clinical limitations of the applicator dimensions. This study aims to investigate using tungsten trioxide nanoparticles/epoxy compo...
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and predictive value of vertebral Hounsfield units (HUs) for vertebral compression fracture (VCF) development in gastric cancer (GC) patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT).
Materials and Methods: We retrospecti...
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate changes in target coverage using magnetic resonance–guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgoART) for kidney tumors and to evaluate the suitable timing of treatment.
Materials and Methods: Among patients treated with 3-fraction MRgoART ...
This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and complication of radiotherapy for benign soft tissue tumors. Five cases of benign soft tissue tumors (two plexiform neurofibromas, two juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, and one cavernous sinus hemangioma) who underwent ...

Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare tumors that present unique challenges, often due to late presentation, and the proximity of critical organs makes complete surgical resection challenging. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) targeting margins-at-risk and to assess its potential impact on outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, non-randomized feasibility study. SCRT...

Purpose: No guidelines exist to delineate radiation therapy (RT) targets for the treatment of multiple glioblastoma (mGBM). This study analyzes margins around the gross tumor volume (GTV) to create a clinical target volume (CTV), comparing response parameters and modalities of recurrence.
Material and Methods: One-hundred and three mGBM patients with a CTV margin of 2 cm (GTV + 2.0 cm) or...

Purpose: Implementing intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) techniques with high-energy sources like 60Co has always been challenging due to the clinical limitations of the applicator dimensions. This study aims to investigate using tungsten trioxide nanoparticles/epoxy composite as a shielding material to enhance the protective properties of a redesigned applicator.
Materials and Methods: The Geant4 application to tomographic emission, the Geant4-based Monte Carlo dose...

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and predictive value of vertebral Hounsfield units (HUs) for vertebral compression fracture (VCF) development in gastric cancer (GC) patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT).
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 271 patients with non-metastatic GC who received adjuvant RT between 2010 and 2020. The vertebral bodies from 9th thoracic...

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate changes in target coverage using magnetic resonance–guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgoART) for kidney tumors and to evaluate the suitable timing of treatment.
Materials and Methods: Among patients treated with 3-fraction MRgoART for kidney cancer, 18 tumors located within 1 cm of the gastrointestinal tract were selected. Stereotactic radiosurgery planning with a prescription dose of 26...

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and complication of radiotherapy for benign soft tissue tumors. Five cases of benign soft tissue tumors (two plexiform neurofibromas, two juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, and one cavernous sinus hemangioma) who underwent radiotherapy were enrolled. All patients had at least 10 years of follow-up. The median follow-up duration was 12 years (range, 10 to...
