PURPOSE: Advanced radiotherapy treatments require appropriate quality assurance (QA) to verify 3D dose distributions. Moreover, increase in patient numbers demand efficient QA-methods. In this study, a time efficient method that combines model-based QA and measurement-based QA was developed; i.e., the …

Quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients after treatment may not only be affected by the treatment itself, but also by non-treatment related factors such as co-morbidity. As co-morbidity among prostate cancer patients is prevalent it is relevant to understand its impact on QoL. In this reagard, a comparison …

Assessment and monitoring of fat-free mass (FFM) is of clinical importance, because FFM is reflective of body cell mass, the total mass of protein-rich, metabolically active cells which is affected during malnutrition and therefore related to clinical outcome. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is …
