• Authors: Yanqi Zong, Zhengrong Cui, Luqi Lin, Sihao Wang, Yizhi Chen
• Abstract summary: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) refers to focusing high-energy rays in three-dimensional space on the tumor lesion area. With the comprehensive development of medical imaging, radiation biology and other disciplines, this less-fractional, high-dose radiotherapy method has been increasingly developed and applied in clinical practice.

• Abstract: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) refers to focusing high-energy rays in three-dimensional space on the tumor lesion area, reducing the dose received by surrounding normal tissues, which can effectively improve the local control rate of the tumor and reduce the probability of complications. With the comprehensive development of medical imaging, radiation biology and other disciplines, this less-fractional, high-dose radiotherapy method has been increasingly developed and applied in clinical practice. The background, radio-biological basis, key technologies and main equipment of SBRT are discussed, and its future development direction is prospected.

  PULSAR is the adaptation of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy towards personalized cancer management. For the first time, we applied a transformer-based attention mechanism to investigate the underlying interactions between PULSAR and PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy. The proposed approach is able to predict the trend of tumor volume change semi-quantitatively, and excels in identifying the potential causal relationships through both self-attention and cross-attention scores.

• Risk Classification of Brain Metastases via Radiomics, Delta-Radiomics and Machine Learning [7.165205048529115]
  We hypothesized that using radiomics and machine learning (ML), metastases at high risk for subsequent progression could be identified during follow-up prior to the onset of significant tumor growth. The classification is realized via the maximum-relevance minimal-redundancy (MRMR) technique and support vector machines (SVM) The results indicate that risk stratification of BM based on radiomics and machine learning during post-SRT follow-up is possible with good accuracy and should be further pursued to personalize and improve post-SRT follow-up.
