Tumor volume and cancer stem cell expression as prognostic markers for high-dose loco-regional failure in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma - a DAHANCA 19 study
CONCLUSION: Tumor volume, p16, and CSC markers are potential biomarkers for HDF for patients with HNSCC treated with (C-)RT. Lower expression of CSC in p16+ OPSCC may contribute to better tumor control.PMID:38341096 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110149 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Multi-domain neurocognitive impairment following definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Neurocognitive impairment is prevalent and profound in post-IMRT NPC survivors. Cognitive assessment and rehabilitation should be considered part of survivorship care.PMID:38341098 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110143 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Diagnosis and management of pneumonitis following chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer
CONCLUSIONS: In patients treated using the PACIFIC regimen, multidisciplinary assessment of CT-scans, radiation doses and patient symptoms, resulted in fewer diagnoses of immune-related pneumonitis (8.9%). Our study underscores the challenges in accurately diagnosing either IO-related or radiation pneumonitis in patients undergoing adjuvant immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy and highlights the need for multidisciplinary review in order to avoid inappropriate cessation of adjuvant IO.PMID:38341099 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110147 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Shared decision making with breast cancer patients - does it work? Results of the cluster-randomized, multicenter DBCG RT SDM trial
CONCLUSION: Patient engagement in medical decision making was significantly improved with the use of an in-consultation patient decision aid compared to standard. The DH on adjuvant whole breast irradiation is now recommended as standard of care in the Danish guideline.PMID:38316191 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110115 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Common Sense (Radiation) Oncology: Redefining targets in radiotherapy
Radiother Oncol. 2024 Feb 3;193:110118. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110118. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2023, the Common Sense Oncology (CSO) movement was launched with the goal of recalibrating cancer care to focus on outcomes that matter to patients. We extend the three CSO pillars - evidence generation, interpretation and communication - to radiation oncology and advocate for better evidence demonstrating the value of our modality.PMID:38316192 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110118 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Paediatric radiation therapy without anaesthesia - Are the children moving?
CONCLUSION: Children receiving RT with audiovisual distraction while awake had small magnitudes of observed intrafraction movement, with minimal movement in >97 % of observed RT fractions. This study validates methods of anaesthesia avoidance using audiovisual distraction for selected children.PMID:38311029 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110120 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Definitive single fraction spine stereotactic radiosurgery for metastatic sarcoma: Simultaneous integrated boost is associated with high tumor control and low vertebral fracture risk
CONCLUSION: This study represents one of the most homogenously treated and the largest cohorts of patients with SSM treated with single-fraction SSRS. Despite inherent radioresistance, SSRS confers durable and high rates of local control in SSM without unexpected long-term toxicity rates.PMID:38311030 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110119 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Application of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in limited-stage small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: With respect to OS, PORT is not advisable in patients with pN0 or pN1 stage LS-SCLC but is highly recommended in pN2 stage LS-SCLC. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings.PMID:38309584 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110123 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Magnetic resonance imaging for assessment of rectal cancer nodes after chemoradiotherapy: a single center experience
CONCLUSION: A reduction in size of 70% of the largest limph-node on MRI at rectal cancer restaging has high sensitivity and NPV for prediction of ypN0 stage after nCRT. The high NPV of node disappearance and of a ≤ 2.2 mm short-axis diameter is confirmed.PMID:38309586 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110124 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Disease and toxicity outcomes for a modern cohort of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of cutaneous origin involving the parotid gland: Comparison of volumetric modulated arc therapy and pencil beam scanning proton therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Cutaneous SCC involving the parotid can be an aggressive clinical entity despite modern multimodal therapy. PBT offers significantly lower dose to organs at risk compared to VMAT, which seemingly yields diminished acute toxicities.PMID:38309587 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110112 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)
