Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in prostate cancer in the presence of hip prosthesis – is it a contraindication? A narrative review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hip replacement is a common orthopedic surgery in the aging population. With the rising incidence of prostate cancer, metallic hip prosthetics can cause considerable beam hardening and streak artifacts, leading to difficulty in identifying the target volumes and planning process for radiation treatment. The growing use of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer is now well established. However, the use of this treatment modality in the presence of a hip prosthesis is poorly understood. There is enough literature on planning for external beam radiation treatment without any difficulties in the presence of hip prosthesis with conventional or Hypofractionated treatment. However, there is a shortage of literature on the impact of the prosthesis in SBRT planning, and there is a need for further understanding and measures to mitigate the obstacles in planning for SBRT in the presence of hip prosthesis. We present our review of the intricacies that need to be understood while considering SBRT in the presence of hip prostheses in prostate cancer treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
