Head and neck tumors (HNTs) constitute a multifaceted ensemble of pathologies that
primarily involve regions such as the oral cavity, pharynx, and nasal cavity. The intricate …

In order to limit radiotherapy (RT)-related side effects, effective toxicity prediction and
assessment schemes are essential. In recent years, the growing interest toward artificial …

Objectives To investigate whether dosiomics can benefit to IMRT treated patient's
locoregional recurrences (LR) prediction through a comparative study on prediction …

Head and neck radiotherapy induces important toxicity, and its efficacy and tolerance vary
widely across patients. Advancements in radiotherapy delivery techniques, along with the …

Recent advances in computing capability allowed the development of sophisticated
predictive models to assess complex relationships within observational data, described as …

Purpose Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer frequently leads to salivary gland
damage and subsequent xerostomia. The radiation response of the parotid glands of rats …

Mathematical models of normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) able to robustly
predict radiation-induced morbidities (RIM) play an essential role in the identification of a …

Recently, 2D or 3D methods for dose distribution analysis have been proposed as
evolutions of the Dose Volume Histogram (DVH) approaches. Those methods, collectively …

Simple Summary Side effects caused by the concomitant irradiation of normal tissue during
radiotherapy for cancer treatment can negatively affect the patient's quality of life and limit …

Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models that were formulated in the
Quantitative Analyses of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) are one of the …
