BackgroundThe health-care industry is a substantial contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the specific environmental impact of radiotherapy, cornerstone cancer treatment, remains under-explored. We aimed quantify emissions associated with delivery radiotherapy in USA and propose framework for reducing oncology care.MethodsIn this multi-institutional retrospective analysis simulation study, we conducted lifecycle assessment external beam (EBRT) ten anatomical disease sites,...
Academic institutions across the globe routinely sponsor large conferences. During COVID-19 pandemic, many conferences have used all- or partially virtual formats. The conversion of 2021 Consortium Universities for Global Health (CUGH) conference, originally planned in-person Houston, TX USA to an all-virtual format provided opportunity quantify climate-related impacts versus conferences.From CUGH conference registration data, we determined each registrant's distance from Houston. Using...
Survivors of pediatric medulloblastoma experience long-term morbidity associated with the toxic effects postoperative radiotherapy (RT). Proton RT limits radiation dose to normal tissues thereby reducing side treatment while maintaining high cure rates. However, data on disease outcomes and proton remain limited.One hundred seventy-eight patients treated between 2002 2016 at Massachusetts General Hospital comprise cohort who were surgery, therapy, chemotherapy. We evaluated event-free...
Abstract Background Hippocampal avoidance (HA) has been shown to preserve cognitive function in adult patients with cancer treated whole‐brain radiation therapy for brain metastases. However, the feasibility of HA pediatric tumors not explored because concerns increased risk relapse peri‐hippocampal region. Our aim was determine patterns recurrence and incidence medulloblastoma (MB). Methods materials We identified MB protons between 2002 2016 who had recurrent disease. To estimate...
