Calvo,Julio Garcia-Aguilar,Rob Glynne-Jones,Karin Haustermans,Mohammed Mohiuddin,Salvatore Pucciarelli,William Small,Javier Suárez,George Theodoropoulos,Sebastiano Biondo,Sebastiano Biondo,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Geerard L. Beets +18 more
TL;DR: Patients with pCR after chemoradiation have better long-term outcome than do those without pCR, and pCR might be indicative of a prognostically favourable biological tumour profile with less propensity for local or distant recurrence and improved survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computed Tomographic Colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy) A Multicenter Comparison With Standard Colonoscopy for Detection of Colorectal Neoplasia
Peter B. Cotton,Valerie Durkalski,Benoit C. Pineau,Yuko Y. Palesch,Patrick D. Mauldin,Brenda J. Hoffman,David J. Vining,William Small,John Affronti,Douglas K. Rex,Kenyon K.

TL;DR: The accuracy of CTC varied considerably between centers and did not improve as the study progressed, suggesting that this method is not yet ready for widespread clinical application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cervical cancer: A global health crisis
William Small,Monica Bacon,Amishi Bajaj,Linus Chuang,Brandon J. Fisher,Matthew M. Harkenrider,Anuja Jhingran,Henry C Kitchener,Linda Mileshkin,Akila N. Viswanathan,David K. Gaffney +10 more
TL;DR: The global cervical cancer crisis is discussed and efforts to improve the prevention and treatment of the disease in underdeveloped countries are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Consensus guidelines for pelvic normal tissue contouring were reached and are available as a CT image atlas on the RTOG Web site, which will allow uniformity in defining normal tissues for clinical trials delivering pelvic radiation and will facilitate future normal tissue complication research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation-induced lung injury.
TL;DR: Three-dimensional treatment planning tools provide dosimetric predictors for the risk of symptomatic RT-induced lung injury and allow for beams to be selected to minimize these risks.
