Stereotactic radiotherapy for head and neck paragangliomas: How long should we wait for treatment response?
CONCLUSION: While SRT demonstrates an excellent LC rate for H&N paragangliomas, it's important to note that the response to treatment may require time. TVR may last beyond the initial year of treatment in a substantial proportion of patients.PMID:38499272 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110232 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Professional development through mentoring: Final evaluation of the pilot mentoring programme of the European society of radiotherapy and oncology
Radiother Oncol. 2024 Mar 14:110226. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110226. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) organized a one-year pilot mentoring programme. At evaluation after one year, both mentors and mentees scored the programme with a median score of 9 on a scale of 10. All of the mentors indicated that they wanted to participate again as mentors.PMID:38492670 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110226 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

ESTRO-SIOPE guideline: Clinical management of radiotherapy in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs)
CONCLUSION: The present guideline summarizes the evidence and clinical-based recommendations for RT in patients with AT/RT. Prospective clinical trials and international, large registries evaluating modern treatment approaches will contribute to a better understanding of the best treatment for these children in future.PMID:38492671 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110227 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Clinical practicality and patient performance for surface-guided automated VMAT gating for DIBH breast cancer radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: Independent of the use of audio-coaching, this study demonstrates that automated surface-guided gating with DIBH and VMAT proved highly efficient. Patients' DIBH performance far exceeded our expectations compared to earlier experiences and literature. Furthermore, gating window tolerances could be reduced.PMID:38492672 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110229 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Proposals for the delineation of neck clinical target volume for definitive Radiation therapy in patients with oral/ oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer based on lymph node distribution
CONCLUSION: This is the first description of LN topographic spread patterns for OSCC/OPSCC. Modified CTV for prophylactic irradiation was proposed to spare the organs at risk and minimize adverse effects.PMID:38490491 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110225 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Predicting overall survival and prophylactic cranial irradiation benefit in small-cell lung cancer with CT-based deep learning: A retrospective multicenter study
CONCLUSIONS: The CT-based deep learning model exhibited promising performance in predicting the OS of SCLC patients. The OS signature may aid in individualized treatment planning to select patients who may benefit from PCI.PMID:38479441 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110221 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

A systematic review of circulating predictive and prognostic biomarkers to aid the personalised use of radiotherapy in the radical treatment of patients with oesophageal cancer
CONCLUSIONS: There is consistent evidence for the potential predictive and prognostic value of a small number of biomarkers in OSCC and OAC, though these data are insufficient for translation to current clinical practice. Well-designed prospective studies are now required to validate their role in stratified and personalised RT treatment approaches.PMID:38479442 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110224 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

A population-based analysis of the impact of 1 vs. 2 doses of mitomycin on patterns of failure of anal cancer patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis showed that 1 vs. 2 cycles of MMC along with 5FU and radiation is associated with comparable treatment outcomes in general. However, in patients with stage IIIb and IIIc cancer, 2 doses of MMC were associated with improved ASCC-SS and distant DFS.PMID:38479443 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110219 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)
