Radiation doses received by major organs at risk in children and young adolescents treated for cancer with external beam radiation therapy: a large-scale study from 12 European countries
CONCLUSION: The detailed dose estimates provide very useful information for former patients or clinicians who have only limited knowledge about radiation therapy protocols or techniques, but who know the type and site of childhood cancer, gender, age and year of treatment. This will allow better prediction of the long-term risk of iatrogenic events and better referral to long-term follow-up clinics.PMID:38582233 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.03.032 (Source: Health Physics)

Single-Fraction Palliative High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for Symptom Management in a 97-Year-Old Patient With Dementia
We describe performing palliative surface mold brachytherapy (SMBT) in an elderly patient with advanced dementia for pain control using music therapy to assist with agitation. Case Description: The patient was a 97-year-old Japanese woman with advanced dementia. Exudate was observed from her tumor, and she complained of Grade 2 severity pain using Support team assessment schedule (STAS), especially when undergoing would dressings. Given her advanced dementia, she was not considered a candidate for radical surgery or external beam radiotherapy. We instead treated her with high-dose-rate (HDR) SMBT. Due to her advanced demen...

A vocal cord palsy caused by the uterine cancer metastatic tumor in the mediastinum revealed in a patient with a thyroid lesion: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionA history of the disease should always be kept in mind when assessing a patient ’s complaints. VCP in case of thyroid pathology and previous secondary malignancy may be caused by metastatic tumor anywhere along the RLN pathway. Such a rare case shows the importance of additional methods of examination which may avoid unnecessary thyroid surgeries. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Interstitial needles versus intracavitary applicators only for locally advanced cervical cancer: results from real-life dosimetric comparisons
CONCLUSION: HR-CTV coverage was higher with IC/IS IGABT than with IC IGABT, with lower doses to the OAR in patients managed for LACC after RCT. Interstitial brachytherapy in the management of LACC after radiotherapy provides better coverage of the target volumes, this could contribute to better local control and improved survival of patients.PMID:38567146 | PMC:PMC10985138 | DOI:10.3389/fonc.2024.1347727 (Source: Cancer Control)

Radiation doses received by major organs at risk in children and young adolescents treated for cancer with external beam radiation therapy: a large-scale study from 12 European countries.
Childhood cancer survivors are at high risk of long-term iatrogenic events, in particular those treated with radiotherapy. The prediction of risk of such events is mainly based on the knowledge of the radiation dose received to healthy organs and tissues during treatment of childhood cancer diagnosed decades ago.

Radiotherapy Combined with a Radiosensitizer for Bacillus Calmette-Guerin-unresponsive Non-muscle-invasive Carcinoma In Situ Bladder Cancer: An Open-label, Single-arm, Multicenter, Phase 2 European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Trial
This study will assess the efficacy of external beam radiotherapy, a robust alternative to surgery in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Radiotherapy will be administered 5 d a week for 4 wk. It will be associated with a "radiosensitizer," an intravenous or oral drug, during the radiotherapy treatment. The study will measure the proportion of patients remaining recurrence free at 6 mo and thereafter. It will also evaluate the safety of the treatment and its impact on quality of life.PMID:38556413 | DOI:10.1016/j.euo.2024.03.008 (Source: Cancer Control)
