The objectives of the study were to determine (1) the …

Van der Burg's study delved into the potential connection between overall survival and patient characteristics, along with radiation dose to the body in lung cancer patients undergoing various treatment schedules. In conclusion, patient characteristics and radiomics data exhibit predictive values for …

Een uitdaging binnen radiotherapie van longtumoren is het feit dat deze gedurende de ademhaling bewegen. De mate van tumorbeweging heeft invloed op de grootte van het Planning Target Volume (PTV) en op de dosis in omliggende organs at risk (OARs).

Epidemiological miner cohort data used to estimate lung cancer risks related to occupational radon exposure often lack cohort-wide information on exposure to tobacco smoke, a potential confounder and important effect modifier. We have developed a method to project data on smoking habits from a case-control …
