Inter- and intrafraction dose variations in robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma in the prospective phase I STRONG trial
Paronetto C, den Toom W, Milder M, van Norden Y, Baak R, Heijmen B, et al.
Front Oncol . 2023 Mar; 13:1114737. PMID: 36969072
Using fiducial-marker-based robotic respiratory tumor tracking, we treated perihilar cholangiocarcinoma patients in the STRONG trial with 15 daily fractions of 4 Gy. For each of the included patients, in-room diagnostic-quality...

Patient anatomy-specific trade-offs between sub-clinical disease coverage and normal tissue dose reduction in head-and-neck cancer
Kaplan L, Sander Holm A, Eriksen J, Heijmen B, Korreman S, Rossi L
Radiother Oncol . 2023 Feb; 182:109526. PMID: 36764458
Purpose: Risk of subclinical disease decreases with increasing distance from the GTV in head- and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Depending on individual patient anatomy, OAR sparing could be improved by...
