Human Papillomavirus (HPV), an extensive family of DNA viruses, manifests as a persistent
global health challenge. Persistent HPV infection is now firmly established as a significant …

Abstract Background/Purpose Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) primary gross tumor volume
(GTVp) segmentation is crucial for radiotherapy. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is …

Introduction Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) on MRI-linear accelerator (MR-linac) systems
can potentially be used for monitoring treatment response and adaptive radiotherapy in …

The tumours of head and neck district are around 3% of all malignancies and squamous cell
carcinoma is the most frequent histotype, with rapid increase during the last two decades …

Background Radiotherapy is a core treatment modality for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC),
where the primary gross tumor volume (GTVp) is manually segmented with high …

Objectives We aim to characterize the serial quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
changes of the target disease volume using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) acquired …

The aim of this work is to identify MRI texture features able to predict the response to radio-
chemotherapy (RT-CHT) in patients with naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma (NPC-OPC) before …

Featured Application Imaging-based predictors of HPV status could be used to non-
invasively detect HPV positivity in cases in which biopsy is not feasible because of a hardly …

Abstract Circulating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPV16) assessed in liquid biopsy may be used as a
marker of cancer in patients with HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+ OPC) …

Objective Identifying MRI texture parameters able to distinguish inflammation, fibrosis, and
residual cancer in patients with naso-oropharynx carcinoma after radiochemotherapy (RT …
