Innovative Rural Treatment Center in Paraguay Showcases State-of-the-Art Non-Invasive Brain Tumor Therapy
Read the latest article from Dr. Raj Singh et al. from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. The authors report on local control (LC), toxicity, and overall survival (OS) following stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) for extracranial metastases from malignant melanoma.
Read the latest article in MReadings by Joshua Kim et al from Henry Ford Health Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Kim's work demonstrates the 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max RT Edition, when used with an optimized imaging protocol that includes 3D T1 FLASH and 3D T2 FLAIR SPACE sequences, provides image quality sufficient for target and OAR delineation in stereotactic radiotherapy planning. Total protocol times are clinically acceptable, demonstrating that this low-field MR system is a viable and valuable option for MR simulation in radiotherapy.
Watch the latest Spilling the RT episode with Dr. Arjun Sahgal, a world-renowned radiation oncologist. In this episode, Dr. Sahgal shares inspiring progress around the initial results of the UNITED (Unity-Based MR-Linac Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for High Grade Glioma) trial. UNITED is the world’s first adaptive MR-guided radiotherapy study for patients with high-grade gliomas, the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors found in adults, and the highlight of his illustrious career so far.
