Feasibility of radiomics and deep learning methods for prognosis of non–small cell lung cancer using 18F-FDG PET/CT

Accurate prognostication for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is challenging due to tumor heterogeneity and the limitations of conventional PET biomarkers. This technical feasibility study compared the difference in prognostic performance of radiomics and deep learning (CNN) me...

StereoBed - salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy of the prostate bed for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy: study protocol for a randomized phase II/III trial

In cases of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy, salvage radiotherapy (RT) is a well-established standard-of-care treatment. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may offer a shorter treatment duration and favorable radiobiological characteristics, but eviden...
