Dose accumulation for MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy: From practical considerations to state-of-the-art clinical implementation

Brigid A. McDonald et al.

Summary: MRI-linear accelerator (MR-linac) devices have enabled MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy (MRgART). However, adaptive radiation therapy highlights challenges in calculating the total delivered dose due to anatomical changes and different treatment plans. Dose accumulation strategies can be employed for ART to estimate the delivered dose. In MRgART, plan adaptation on MRI requires additional considerations in the dose accumulation process.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Reduces Patient-Reported Chronic Toxicity Compared With Conventional Pelvic Radiation Therapy: Updated Results of a Phase III Trial

Anamaria R. Yeung et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the differences in patient-reported chronic toxicity and disease outcomes between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conventional pelvic radiation. The results showed that IMRT can reduce patient-reported GI and urinary toxicity with no difference in treatment efficacy.

Using Artificial Intelligence for Optimization of the Processes and Resource Utilization in Radiotherapy

Revathy Krishnamurthy et al.

Summary: This study reviews and summarizes the current status and prospects of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the radiotherapy treatment planning and delivery workflow in low- and middle-income countries. It finds that artificial intelligence and machine learning can reduce human intervention, improve decision-making efficiency, and enhance the overall radiotherapy process.

Access to Radiation Therapy: From Local to Global and Equality to Equity

Sarbani Ghosh Laskar et al.

Summary: The discipline of radiation oncology is faced with challenges in terms of accessibility and affordability, particularly in low-income and low-middle-income countries. The distribution of radiation therapy machines and brachytherapy facilities is unequal, while there is also a deficit in simulators, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists. Measures to address these challenges include adopting indigenous technology, promoting public-private partnerships, relaxing custom duties, enhancing human resources training, and conducting innovative research.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Preventing sepsis; how can artificial intelligence inform the clinical decision-making process? A systematic review

Nehal Hassan et al.

Summary: This systematic review identified 194 predictors used to train machine learning algorithms for sepsis prediction, with common predictors including age, gender, smoking, and various health indicators. All included studies used artificial intelligence techniques, with an average sensitivity of 75.7 +/- 17.88 and average specificity of 63.08 +/- 22.01.

Emerging Use of Public-Private Partnerships in Public Radiotherapy Facilities in Nigeria

Chidinma P. Anakwenze Akinfenwa et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy treatment at public hospitals in Nigeria is often interrupted by machine breakdown due to insufficient funds. The use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) has been shown to improve the availability of RT equipment, although at higher costs.
