Background Although there have been dramatic improvements in radiotherapy for head and
neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), including robust intensity modulation and daily …

Background: Deformable image registration (DIR) is increasingly used in the field of
radiation therapy (RT) to account for anatomical deformations. The aims of this paper are to …

Introduction: Large anatomical variations can be observed during the treatment course
intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC), leading to …

Importance Xerostomia is a major toxic effect associated with intensity-modulated
radiotherapy (IMRT) for oropharyngeal cancers. Objective To assess whether adaptive …

Based on the development of new hybrid machines consisting of an MRI and a linear
accelerator, magnetic resonance image guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has revolutionized …

Purpose This provides a benchmark of dosimetric benefit and clinical cost of cone‐beam CT‐
based online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) technology for cervical and rectal cancer patients …

Early regression—the regression in tumor volume during the initial phase of radiotherapy
(approximately 2 weeks after treatment initiation)—is a common occurrence during …

This paper reviews the conceptual, methodological, and technical innovations underpinning
strategies for adaptive target volume selection and risk-adapted dose prescription in cervical …

For nearly 2 decades, adaptive radiation therapy (ART) has been proposed as a method to
account for changes in head and neck tumor and normal tissue to enhance therapeutic …

Purpose To identify from the current literature when is the right time to replan and to assign
thresholds for the optimum process of replanning. Nowadays, adaptive radiotherapy (ART) …
