The incidence of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws in oral cavity cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to define the incidence of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and to identify the risk factors influencing its development.

A Japanese multi-institutional phase II study of moderate hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with image-guided technique for prostate cancer
CONCLUSION: The safety and efficacy of moderately hypofractionated IMRT with prostate-based image-guidance was confirmed among Japanese patients with prostate cancer.PMID:38630382 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02517-z (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Incorporating functional lung imaging (FLI) into radiation therapy planning in patients with lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: FLI shows promise as a method to spare FL during thoracic RT, but interventional trials related to FL avoidance planning are sparse. Such trials are critical to understanding the impact of FL avoidance planning on toxicity reduction and patient outcomes.PMID:38631538 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.001 (Source: Health Physics)

Using the genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD) to personalize the radiation dose in nasopharyngeal cancer
Radiotherapy (RT) is an integral component of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) management. Advanced RT techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have improved the anatomical precision of local treatment for primary NPC.[1] Despite this, around 20 –30 % of patients develop local recurrence and/or distant metastases.[2] Additionally, up to 50 % of patients in remission experience RT-induced late toxicities.[3] Current radiation dose protocols are uniformly standardized at 66–70 Gy for gross disease and 54–60 Gy for elective nodal regions, despite substantial heterogeneity in treatment response.

Comparison of 3-year local control using DAHANCA radiotherapy guidelines before and after implementation of five millimetres geometrical GTV to high-dose CTV margin
Primary radiotherapy is the preferred anatomy-preserving treatment for squamous cell carcinomas in the head and neck region (HNSCC), excluding carcinomas in the oral cavity or certain localised oropharyngeal/laryngeal cancers amenable to surgery[1,2]. Platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) using IMRT/VMAT techniques is the contemporary standard for loco-regionally advanced HNSCC, with a five-year risk of local and regional failures of 23.5  % and 20.2 %, respectively, using altered fractionation regimes [3].

Clinical-radiomics nomogram for the risk prediction of esophageal fistula in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy or volumetric-modulated arc therapy
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical-radiomics nomogram can predict the risk of EF in ESCC patients and is helpful for the individualized treatment of EC.PMID:38617757 | PMC:PMC11009608 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-191 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Postoperative radiotherapy results in 192 epithelial thymic tumours patients with 10  years of follow-up
CONCLUSION: Approximately one-third of the TET in our study experienced a LRR, mainly to the pleura, and 8% in total were in-field. The place of radiotherapy should be better defined in higher risk thymoma patients within prospective randomized studies.PMID:38614283 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110272 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Observations of the effectiveness, dosage, and prognosis of intensity-modulated radiation therapy under ultrasonic guidance for cervical cancer patients
CONCLUSION: VMAT guided by ultrasound for patients with cervical cancer demonstrates promising short- and long-term treatment outcomes. It also leads to improvements in serum CEA, SCC-Ag, and CA724 levels, as well as reductions in the average radiation dosages to the radiotherapy target area, rectum, and bladder. This approach warrants attention from clinicians in clinical practice.PMID:38607778 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231977 (Source: Technology and Health Care)
