Durable complete response to PET-CT driven stereotactic radiation therapy plus pembrolizumab for pleomorphic Pancoast cancer: Case report and literature review
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Apr 5;12(4):e8633. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8633. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTPET-driven SBRT plus pembrolizumab as first-line therapy against pleomorphic Pancoast cancer appears beneficial, probably due to high equivalent doses of SBRT on photopenic necrotic core and synergic immune system stimulation of immunoradiotherapy.PMID:38585585 | PMC:PMC10996042 | DOI:10.1002/ccr3.8633 (Source: Clinical Lung Cancer)

Postmastectomy radiation therapy in breast cancer patients with micrometastatic disease in sentinel node dissection: A cohort study and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: PMRT does not seem to impact survival in patients with T1 or T2 breast cancer with micrometastatic disease in SLND. Considering the low level of evidence and the relatively short follow-up of included studies, caution in interpreting the results into clinical practice is suggested.PMID:38586080 | PMC:PMC10998037 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctro.2024.100770 (Source: Clinical Breast Cancer)

Internal mammary node abnormality in imaging studies and treatment outcomes in patients with breast cancer
In conclusion, the impact of Mild-IMN on clinical outcomes was small. Although irradiation for cMet-IMN is important, the impact of the cMet-IMN boost with 10 Gy in 5 fractions on clinical outcomes may also be limited.PMID:38586202 | PMC:PMC10995659 | DOI:10.3892/ol.2024.14352 (Source: Oncology Letters)

Epub 2024 Feb 29.ABSTRACTBrachytherapy (BRT) plays a pivotal role in the treatment of tumors, offering precise radiation therapy directly to the affected area. However, this technique demands extensive training and skills development, posing challenges for widespread adoption and ensuring patient safety. This narrative review explored the utilization of augmented reality (AR) in BRT, seeking to summarize existing evidence, discuss key findings, limitations, and quality of research as well as outline future research directions.

Safety of high-dose-rate brachytherapy in patients with prostate cancer and inflammatory bowel disease: A case series
CONCLUSIONS: HDR brachytherapy appears to be a safe and tolerable treatment modality for patients with prostate cancer and IBD, with minimal acute and late GI and GU toxicity. These findings warrant multi-institutional validation due to small sample size.PMID:38584887 | PMC:PMC10993899 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2024.135645 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)
