Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotactic body radiosurgery for spinal metastatic disease: an evidence-based review.
William A. Hall,L.J. Stapleford,Costastantinos G. Hadjipanayis,Walter J. Curran,Ian R. Crocker,Hui-Kuo Shu +5 more
TL;DR: It is believed that stereotactic body radiosurgery is an established treatment modality for patients with spinal metastatic disease that is both safe and highly effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
National Cancer Database Analysis of Proton Versus Photon Radiation Therapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Kristin Higgins,Kelli O'Connell,Yuan Liu,Theresa W. Gillespie,Mark W. McDonald,Rathi N. Pillai,Kirtesh R. Patel,Pretesh Patel,Clifford G. Robinson,Charles B. Simone,Taofeek K. Owonikoko,Chandra P. Belani,Fadlo R. Khuri,Fadlo R. Khuri,Walter J. Curran,Suresh S. Ramalingam,Madhusmita Behera +16 more
TL;DR: Thoracic radiation with protons is associated with better survival in this retrospective analysis; further validation in the randomized setting is needed to account for any imbalances in patient characteristics, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography staging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized study of chemotherapy/radiation therapy combinations for favorable patients with locally advanced inoperable nonsmall cell lung cancer: Radiation therapy oncology group (RTOG) 92-04
Ritsuko Komaki,Charles E. Scott,David S. Ettinger,Jin S. Lee,Frank V. Fossella,Walter J. Curran,R.F. Evans,Philip Rubin,Roger W. Byhardt +8 more
TL;DR: Whereas hematologic toxicity was greater in Arm 1, esophageal toxicity, both acute and late, was greaterInfield progression was lower in Arm 2, but overall progression rates were similar and there were no significant differences in survival between the two arms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase I/II trial of accelerated fractionation in brain metastases RTOG 85-28
William T. Sause,Charles B. Scott,Robert E. Krisch,Marvin Rotman,Penny K. Sneed,N.A. Janjan,L W Davis,Walter J. Curran,K N Choi,H Selim +9 more
TL;DR: The incremental improvement in survival in patients with good prognostic factors appeared encouraging and the 54.4 Gy study against 30 Gy study will be tested in 2 weeks in a Phase III trial based on the results of this trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
A learning-based automatic segmentation and quantification method on left ventricle in gated myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging: A feasibility study
Tonghe Wang,Yang Lei,Haipeng Tang,Zhuo He,Richard Castillo,Cheng Wang,Dianfu Li,Kristin Higgins,Tian Liu,Walter J. Curran,Weihua Zhou,Xiaofeng Yang +11 more
TL;DR: A novel machine-learning-based method to automatically segment LV myocardium and measure its volume in gated MPS imaging without human intervention is proposed, demonstrating very good agreement with the ground truth.
