“…Тем не менее она успешно применяется, в том числе в случаях ограничения определенных ресурсов, на начальных этапах экспериментального проекта или при полной невозможности выполнения альтернативных методик. В онкоурологии варианты методики активно используются для достижения общего консенсуса специалистов при отборе индикаторов качества лечения РПЖ [11].…”

Background. Further improvement of the internal quality assurance of clinical practice is critical to achieve the goals and objectives of the Federal project entitled “Battle with cancer”, which aimed at reduction in cancer mortality by 2024 to 185 cases per 100,000 population. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality among men in Russia. For the selection of quality indicators (QIs) for the assessment of oncological care, including the treatment of PCa, the modified Delphi method is widely used.Aim. Identification of examples of actively used modifications of the Delphi technique and the most relevant QIs designed to control the quality of active surveillance of patients with low-risk PCa and the quality of cancer care for patients with metastatic PCa.Materials and methods. The literature search was performed using the following thematic queries in PubMed: “Delphi method/technique”, “quality indicators”, “cancer care”, “prostate cancer”, “tumors”, etc. The search time horizon extended to 2021–2022. The most modern publications devoted to applications of the Delphi methodology in the selection of QIs for treatment of men with PCa were identified.Results. The scientific literature describes in detail how to adapt the Delphi technique to choose the QIs for PCa. 20 QIs for active surveillance of patients with low-risk PCa (the draft version) and 23 QIs for treatment of patients with metastatic PCa were identified. The use of the modified Delphi technique resulted to certain consensus among experts leading to better understanding of QIs for PCa care.Conclusion. The Delphi method is a valid tool for analyzing the points of view of specialists and reaching a consensus on the considered options for solving complex problems. With the consistent improvement of oncourological practice, updating of clinical guidelines for PCa, it is feasible to revise and improve the list of the key QIs for PCa care.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of articles using the term dosiomics. However, there are no literature reviews on this topic in the Russian language. AIM: This study aims to describe the basic principles of dosiomics as a derivative of radiomics and to analyze studies devoted to assessing the possibilities of its application in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed database using the search query dosiomics OR dosiomic, and in the eLibrary database using the search query dosiomics. By April 2023, 43 foreign articles and 1 Russian article had been published. RESULTS: The analysis encompassed 43 foreign studies investigating the use of dosiomics in clinical practice, alongside one Russian article that provided a definition of the term dosiomics. The analyzed papers were divided into three groups according to their subject matter, and two tables describing the results of 27 studies on the prediction of clinical outcomes were created. CONCLUSION: Currently, dosiomics is a new and promising derivative of radiomics used in the textural analysis of medical images associated with radiation treatment of cancer patients. Dosiomics can contribute to the development of a more personalized approach to the planning of radiotherapy, the prediction of radiation damage of normal tissues, and the diagnosis of recurrence.
