RadiotherapyThis paper describes how a suite of research techniques were used to inform the development of a vision for the future of radiotherapy. The aim of the vision was to conceptualise a next-generation radiotherapy system that creates a step-change in system performance. The impact of the...
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a severe complication of DR, with a risk of progression to complete loss of both central and peripheral vision4. The global prevalence of DR among diabetic patients has reached 34.6%. The incidence of PDR, diabetic macular edema, and vision-threatening...

Patients with glioblastoma have a median survival of 12–14 months, in the case of following standard treatment, which includes surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy [5]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the standard acquisition for characterizing brain tumors before ...
[29,118,119]. It is clearly explained that PHC serves as the roadmap to realizing the vision of UHC [120,121]. Given these circumstances, implementing CQI can contribute to the achievement of PHC principles and the objectives of UHC. For instance, by implementing CQI methods, countries have...
While strategies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy have become the first-line standard therapies for patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, acquired resistance is still inevitable in most cases. The introduction of antibody‒drug conjugates
Healthcare systems are under increasing pressure due to the rising demand and expenditures for healthcare. This problem is compounded by the increase in the elderly population together with the increased global burden of vision impairment1. In Wales, UK, the total number of patients in the highest...
In the field of radiotherapy, “Gy” is the unit of radiation dose and represents the amount of absorbed radiation energy. “Gy” stands for “Gray”, which is equal to 1 J of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of tissue. Vx denotes the percentage volume of the corresponding OAR ...

includes maximal safe surgical resection followed by radiotherapy with concomitant and maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy and has an overall median survival of 15–20 months1. Despite numerous clinical trials of new therapies, the only one to show an increase in survival since 2005 is electric field...
