The use of breath-hold techniques in radiotherapy, such as deep-inspiration breath hold, is increasing although guidelines for clinical implementation are lacking. In these recommendations, we aim to provide an overview available technical solutions and guidance best practice the phase. We will discuss specific challenges different tumour sites including factors staff training patient coaching, accuracy, reproducibility. addition, highlight need further research groups. This report also...
In left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy, tangential intensity modulated radiotherapy combined with breath-hold enables a dose reduction to the heart and left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Aim of this study was investigate added value proton therapy (IMPT) regard decreasing radiation these structures.In comparative planning study, four treatment plans were generated in 20 patients: an IMPT plan IMRT plan, both free-breathing. At least 97 % target volume had be covered by at 95...
In breast conserving radiotherapy differences of target volume delineations between observers do occur. We evaluated whether based on co-registered computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may result in an improved consistency observers. used the delineation conformity index (CI) to compare clinical volumes glandular tissue (CTV breast) lumpectomy cavity (LC) both modalities.Four delineated CTV LC CTMR images ten cancer patients. CIs were determined for CT CTMR....

From the US-SEER cancer registries, it appeared that radiation therapy (RT), administered between 1973 and 1982, resulted in an increased mortality rate up to 10-20 years after treatment for left-sided breast (BC) patients [1].Furthermore, Darby et al. reported major cardiac events (MCE) incidence rates linearly with mean heart dose (MHD) by 7.4% relative per Gray [2].Similar results were found two Dutch one Danish study [3][4][5].Thereafter, MHD is used as a normative planning parameter...
Abstract Background Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a frequently chosen treatment for patients with brain metastases and the number of long-term survivors increasing. Brain necrosis (e.g. radionecrosis) most important side effect treatment. Retrospective studies show lower risk radionecrosis local tumor recurrence after fractionated stereotactic (fSRS, e.g. five fractions) compared in one or three fractions. This especially true large metastases. As such, 2022 ASTRO guideline radiotherapy...
To investigate whether the Geriatric 8 (G8) score and Timed Get Up Go Test (TGUGT), together with clinical demographic patient characteristics, are associated survival late toxicity after (chemo)radiation therapy, administered curative intent in older patients cancer.Four hundred two aged ≥65 years (median age 72 years, range 65-96 years), diagnosed either breast, non-small cell lung, prostate, head neck, rectal or oesophageal cancer, referred for took part a multicentre prospective cohort...
Background and purposePrevious research among Dutch radiotherapy centres (RTCs) showed that 69% of innovations was simultaneously implemented in 7/19 centres, with a success rate 51%. However, no structure to share lessons learned about the implementation process existed. Therefore, national Taskforce Implementation (TTI) raised stimulate efficient innovations. The aim current study develop pilot-evaluate website for facilitating mutual learning on issuesMaterial methodsFirst, we made an...
