Anatomical changes and dosimetric analysis of the neck region based on FBCT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients during radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: Significant anatomic and dosimetric changes were observed in the target volumes and OARs. Based on the identified thresholds, replanning at approximately 20 fractions is crucial to ensure adequate target volumes dose and avoid overdosing to the OARs. This approach is clinically feasible and strongly recommended, particularly for centers without access to an adaptive planning system.PMID:38457140 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230280 (Source: Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology)

Predicting the error magnitude in patient-specific QA during radiotherapy based on ResNet
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, error magnitude prediction models with dose difference, gamma distribution, and RDD + EDD are established based on ResNet. The accurate prediction of the error magnitude under different error types can provide reference for error analysis in patient-specific QA.PMID:38457139 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230251 (Source: Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology)

Clinical experience of consolidative radiotherapy for localized metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who showed favorable tumor response after systemic treatment
ConclusionsIf the disease is sufficiently controlled and localized by systemic therapy, local consolidative radiotherapy is thought to improves local control rates with acceptable treatment-related toxicities in patients with localized metastatic NSCLC, especially those with oligo-progressive disease.

Consideration of image guidance in patterns of failure analyses of intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: a systematic review
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is considered standard of care for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Improved conformity of IMRT and smaller margins, however, have led to concerns of ... (Source: Radiation Oncology)

Less than whole uterus irradiation for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Including less than the whole uterus for definitive cervix cancer IMRT does not seem to compromise local control. Less than whole uterus irradiation could be considered for carefully selected cervix cancer patients to decrease bowel dose and possible treatment-related toxicity.PMID:38438017 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110199 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Effects of intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with chemotherapy had significant survival benefits compared with radiotherapy alone. Haematological toxicity was the main adverse reaction. T-stage, gross tumour volume and short-term curative effect were independent factors influencing the prognosis.PMID:38438081 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.03.001 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Radiotherapy alone versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with stage II and T3N0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma with adverse features: A propensity score-matched cohort study
CONCLUSION: For patients with stage II and T3N0 NPC with adverse features treated using IMRT, no improvement in survival was gained by adding concurrent chemotherapy; however, the occurrence of acute toxicities increased significantly. For those combined with non-single adverse factors, the comprehensive treatment strategy needs further exploration.PMID:38432309 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110189 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Neurological complications of modern radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
Radiotherapy is a key pillar of multimodal treatment of non-metastatic head and neck cancer (HNC), commonly used either as a primary definitive treatment or as an adjuvant therapy following surgery [1]. The advent of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has greatly improved tumor target conformity and reduced the incidental radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues [2]. Nevertheless, the current standard of definitive radiotherapy for HNC requires the delivery of high radiation doses of up to 70  Gy to gross tumors and 50 – 60 Gy to elective anatomical regions [3,4].

Quality of life in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving IMRT vs IMPT: a multicenter prospective longitudinal study
ConclusionRadiation dose, symptom distress, and depression were the most important factors affecting QOL in patients with NPC. Understanding the factors associated with the trajectory of QOL can guide care during radiation treatment. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)
