We aimed to assess prognostic value of metastatic pelvic lymph node (mPLN) in early-stage cervical cancer treated with radical surgery followed by postoperative chemoradiotherapy. Also, we sought define a high-risk group using prognosticators for recurrence.A multicenter retrospective study was conducted the data from 13 Korean institutions 2000 2010. A total 249 IB-IIA patients factors were included. evaluated distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and disease-free (DFS) relation...
Abstract A deep-neural-network (DNN) was successfully used to predict clinically-acceptable dose distributions from organ contours for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). To provide the next step in DNN-based plan automation, we propose a DNN that directly generates beam fluence maps and volumetric distributions, without inverse planning. We collected 240 prostate IMRT plans train using distributions. After training done, made 45 synthetic (SPs) generated fluence-maps compared them with...
Background and purpose Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disorder involving synovial membranes, patients with PVNS have variable prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes after synovectomy plus low-dose external beam radiotherapy for diffuse of the knee.Methods reviewed medical records 23 who underwent postoperative between 1998 2007. 19 had primary disease 4 recurrent an average 2.5 prior surgeries. After (17 arthroscopic surgeries; 6 open), all...

To determine whether the pelvic lymph node ratio (LNR) has significant prognostic value for survival and disease recurrence in node-positive, early stage cervical cancer patients. The medical records of 872 consecutive women who received postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy were reviewed. Of these, 397 with pathologically proven nodal metastasis included this analysis categorized into 3 groups according to their LNR: low (<0.1, n = 251), intermediate (0.1–0.4, 121), high (>0.4, 25)....
To investigate inter-/intra-observer variability in defining the prostate by use of planning computed tomography (PCT) and cone beam CT (CBCT) with magnetic resonance image (MRI) as guidance prior to introduction an adaptive radiotherapy for cancer.We reviewed PCT firstly acquired CBCT datasets each ten patients cancer. Three physicians independently delineated based on MRI guidance, allowing determination inter-physician variability. Two repeated contouring three times total intra-physician...
Objectives: There is no consensus on whether giving adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) more effective than radiotherapy (RT) alone in patients with early stage cervical cancer and intermediate-risk factor(s).The purpose of this study was to evaluate survival difference according treatment the group.Methods: From 2000 2014, medical records IB-IIA a history radical hysterectomy pelvic lymph node dissection, followed by RT at dose ≥40 Gy were retrospectively reviewed.Among these, 316...
At the end of 2019, cause pneumonia outbreaks in Wuhan, China, was identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. In February 2020, World Health Organization named disease by SARS-CoV-2 2019 (COVID-19). response to pandemic, Korean Cancer Association formed COVID-19 task force develop practice guidelines. This special article introduces clinical guidelines for cancer patients which will help oncologists best manage during pandemic.
