Abstract: PURPOSE To develop a knowledge-based decision-support system capable of stratifying patients for rectal spacer (RS) insertion based on neural-network-predicted rectal dose, reducing the need for time- and resource-intensive radiotherapy (RT) planning. METHODS Forty four patients… read more here.

Abstract: 247 Background: Dose escalation in prostate cancer (PCa) radiotherapy (RT) is limited by toxicity to surrounding tissue, including the rectum. Rectal spacers improve bowel toxicity in men treated with photons (i.e. IMRT). However, the relative… read more here.
