A decision aid for intensity-modulated radiation-therapy plan selection in prostate cancer based on a prognostic Bayesian network and a Markov model
TL;DR: A prognostic probabilistic model with multi-attribute decision theory which incorporates patient preferences for outcomes is combined to better deal with the complex and multiple objective nature of the IMRT problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducibility of patient breath-hold positioning and compare tracking system performance for Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) gated left breast radiotherapy were characterized using Welsh's unequal variance t-test.

Role of Positron Emission Tomography in the Treatment of Occult Disease in Head-and-Neck Cancer: A Modeling Approach
TL;DR: The model demonstrated the ability to reproduce expected outcomes for a range of tumors and provided recommendations for different clinical situations and the differences between the optimal policies and current clinical practice are likely due to a disparity between stated clinical decision processes and actual decision making by clinicians.
Decision analytic modeling for the economic analysis of proton radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer
TL;DR: The comparison between proton and photon/X-ray radiation therapy for NSCLC needs to consider both the up-front cost of treatment and the possible long term cost of complications.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Versus 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy for Preoperative Treatment of Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
TL;DR: Based on a cost-effectiveness model, IMRT is the preferred technique by lowering rates of local recurrence, severe toxicities, and improving QALYs and should be a supported approach for extremity soft tissue sarcomas.
