Jongen C, Heemsbergen W, Incrocci L, Heijmen B, Rossi L
Cancers (Basel) . 2025 Jan; 16(24. PMID: 39766106
Background/objectives: Extracting spatial features (texture analysis) from dose distributions (dosiomics) for outcome prediction is a rapidly evolving field in radiotherapy. To account for fraction size differences, the biological effective dose...

Jongen C, Heijmen B, Schillemans W, Zolnay A, Witte M, Pos F, et al.
Clin Transl Radiat Oncol . 2025 Jan; 50:100886. PMID: 39763489
Purpose: To develop a single NTCP model for grade ≥ 2 late rectal bleeding (G2 LRB) after conventional or hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods And Materials: The development dataset...

van Genderingen J, Nguyen D, Knuth F, Nomer H, Incrocci L, Sharfo A, et al.
Radiother Oncol . 2024 Dec; 203():110662. PMID: 39647528
Background And Purpose: Fast, high-quality deep learning (DL) prediction of patient-specific 3D dose distributions can enable instantaneous treatment planning (IP), in which the treating physician can evaluate the dose and...

Nomer H, Knuth F, van Genderingen J, Nguyen D, Sattler M, Zolnay A, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2024 Nov; 69(22). PMID: 39530440
. Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is susceptible to uncertainties in patient setup and proton range. Robust optimization is employed in IMPT treatment planning to ensure sufficient coverage of the...

den Toom W, Negenman E, Willemssen F, van Werkhoven E, Porte R, de Wilde R, et al.
Clin Transl Radiat Oncol . 2024 Nov; 49:100878. PMID: 39512948
Purpose/objectives: To evaluate if stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a durable effect on tumor control and can be delivered safely. Materials/methods: Patients included in this retrospective...

Straathof R, van Vliet-Perez S, Kolkman-Deurloo I, Wauben L, Nout R, Heijmen B, et al.
Phys Med Biol . 2024 Oct; 69(23). PMID: 39447602
Patient-tailored intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) brachytherapy (BT) applicators may increase dose conformity in cervical cancer patients. Current configuration planning methods in these custom applicators rely on manual specification or a small set...

Fjellanger K, Heijmen B, Breedveld S, Sandvik I, Hysing L
Phys Imaging Radiat Oncol . 2024 Jun; 30:100590. PMID: 38827886
Background And Purpose: For locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) can reduce organ at risk (OAR) doses compared to intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Deep inspiration breath...

van Vliet-Perez S, van Paassen R, Wauben L, Straathof R, van de Berg N, Dankelman J, et al.
Brachytherapy . 2024 Feb; 23(3):274-281. PMID: 38418362
Background And Purpose: Although MRI-based image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) has resulted in favorable outcomes, it can be logistically complex and time consuming compared...

Straathof R, Meijaard J, van Vliet-Perez S, Kolkman-Deurloo I, Nout R, Heijmen B, et al.
Med Phys . 2024 Jan; 51(5):3698-3710. PMID: 38226798
Background: The steep radiation dose gradients in cervical cancer brachytherapy (BT) necessitate a thorough understanding of the behavior of afterloader source cables or needles in the curved channels of (patient-tailored)...

Fjellanger K, Hordnes M, Sandvik I, Sulen T, Heijmen B, Breedveld S, et al.
Acta Oncol . 2023 Aug; 62(10):1194-1200. PMID: 37589124
Background: Knowledge-based planning (KBP) is a method for automated radiotherapy treatment planning where appropriate optimization objectives for new patients are predicted based on a library of training plans. KBP can...
