Retrospective review of patient factors impacting free-breathing respiratory motion magnitude for MR-guided radiotherapy Open
Patient factors may influence motion management strategy selection for abdominal stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). This retrospective evaluation investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI), sex, and cirrhosis in 16 patients i…

Challenges and opportunities for real-world evidence in clinical oncology—a view from the UK: proceedings of a national workshop Open
Real-world data (RWD) are defined as information collected about patients as a routine part of treatment. To understand the status of RWD initiatives in oncology in the UK, an online survey and in-person workshop were conducted which aimed…

Impact of motion management strategies on abdominal organ at risk delineation for magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy Open
No motion management strategy demonstrated superior similarity across OAR, emphasizing the need for personalised approaches based on individual clinical and patient factors.

Radiotherapy respiratory motion management in hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies: a systematic review of patient factors influencing effectiveness of motion reduction with abdominal compression Open
Abdominal compression may not be appropriate for all patients, and benefit should be weighed with potential increase in motion or discomfort in patients with small initial motion (<5 mm). Patient factors including male sex, and high body m…

Radiopaque drug-eluting embolisation beads as fiducial markers for stereotactic liver radiotherapy Open
Objective: To determine the feasibility of using radiopaque (RO) beads as direct tumour surrogates for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in patients with liver tumours after transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). Methods: A novel vandetani…
