Efficacy of Neulasta or Neupogen on H-ARS and GI-ARS Mortality and Hematopoietic Recovery in Nonhuman Primates After 10-Gy Irradiation With 2.5% Bone Marrow Sparing
Farese A, Bennett A, Gibbs A, Hankey K, Prado K, Jackson 3rd W, et al.
Health Phys . 2018 Oct; 116(3):339-353. PMID: 30281533
A nonhuman primate model of acute, partial-body, high-dose irradiation with minimal (2.5%) bone marrow sparing was used to assess endogenous gastrointestinal and hematopoietic recovery and the ability of Neulasta (pegylated...

Action Levels on Dose and Anatomic Variation for Adaptive Radiation Therapy Using Daily Offline Plan Evaluation: Preliminary Results
Zhang B, Lee S, Chen S, Zhou J, Prado K, DSouza W, et al.
Pract Radiat Oncol . 2018 Aug; 9(1):49-54. PMID: 30142442
Purpose: This study aimed to develop action levels for replanning to accommodate dosimetric variations resulting from anatomic changes during the course of treatments, using daily cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)....

AEOL 10150 Mitigates Radiation-Induced Lung Injury in the Nonhuman Primate: Morbidity and Mortality are Administration Schedule-Dependent
MacVittie T, Gibbs A, Farese A, Barrow K, Bennett A, Taylor-Howell C, et al.
Radiat Res . 2017 Feb; 187(3):298-318. PMID: 28208025
Pneumonitis and fibrosis are potentially lethal, delayed effects of acute radiation exposure. In this study, male rhesus macaques received whole-thorax lung irradiation (WTLI) with a target dose of 10.74 Gy...

Clinical implementation of an electron monitor unit dosimetry system based on task group 71 report and a commercial calculation program
Xu H, Guerrero M, Chen S, Yang X, Prado K, Schinkel C
J Med Phys . 2017 Feb; 41(4):214-218. PMID: 28144112
Many clinics still use monitor unit (MU) calculations for electron treatment planning and/or quality assurance (QA). This work (1) investigates the clinical implementation of a dosimetry system including a modified...
