Management Paradigm of Central Nervous System Metastases in NSCLC: An Australian Perspective
JTO Clin Res Rep. 2023 Jul 26;4(9):100553. doi: 10.1016/j.jtocrr.2023.100553. eCollection 2023 Sep.ABSTRACTLife-prolonging central nervous system active systemic therapies for metastatic NSCLC have increased the complexity of managing brain metastases (BMs). Australian medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and neurosurgeons discussed the evidence guiding the diverse clinical approaches to the management of BM in NSCLC. The Australian context is broadly applicable to other jurisdictions; therefore, we have documented these discussions as principles with broader applications. Patient management was stratified according...

The role of radiation therapy in the management of primary retroperitoneal sarcoma: A systematic review and clinical practice guidelines from the Australia and New Zealand Sarcoma Association
Cancer Treat Rev. 2023 Aug 28;120:102620. doi: 10.1016/j.ctrv.2023.102620. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localised retroperitoneal sarcoma, the use of radiotherapy (RT) remains controversial. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the role of RT for retroperitoneal sarcoma. A systematic review using the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome model from 1990 to 2022 identified 66 studies (a mixture of preoperative and postoperative RT); one randomised controlled trial (RCT) with two publications, 18 registry studies, and 46 retrospective studies. In the RCT of preo...

Economical Evaluation of Cancer Types Using Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Compared to 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: The results can help to decide whether to use radiation therapy and radiotherapy in the standard treatment path. Furthermore, they underline that IMRT treatment technique was cost effective for a long-time care service.PMID:37593521 | PMC:PMC10430406 | DOI:10.18502/ijph.v52i7.13237

An international approach to estimating the indications and number of eligible patients for carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT) in Australia
CONCLUSION: A conservative estimate is that 1% of cancer patients in Australia (or 2% of patients recommended for radiation therapy) may preferentially benefit from CIRT for initial therapy of radiation resistant tumours, or to boost persistently active disease after other therapies, or for re-irradiation of recurrent disease. On this basis, one national carbon ion facility with up to four treatment rooms is justified for Australian patients.PMID:37480996 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109816

Protocol: Can coronary artery calcium score identified on thoracic planning CT scans be used and actioned to identify cancer survivors at high risk of cardiac events: A feasibility study in cancer survivors undergoing radiotherapy in Australia
BMJ Open. 2023 Jul 18;13(7):e072376. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-072376.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: A coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scan can identify calcified plaque and predict risk of future cardiac events. Cancer survivors undergoing thoracic radiotherapy routinely undergo a planning CT scan, which presents a unique opportunity to use already obtained medical imaging to identify those at the highest risk of cardiac events. While radiation therapy is an important modality for many cancer treatments, radiation dose to the heart in thoracic radiotherapy leads to cardiotoxicity and may accelerate pre-existing atherosclerosis. T...

Australian medical radiation practitioners perspectives of continuing professional development: An online cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Many MRPs experienced barriers which prevented them from participating in CPD. Provision of more online CPD activities by ASMIRT and access to PDL can assist. Future improvements will ensure MRPs remain motivated to engage in CPD to improve clinical skills, patient safety and health outcomes.PMID:37301987 | DOI:10.1002/jmrs.691

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon high flux x-ray detectors for synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy
Phys Med Biol. 2023 Jun 2. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/acdb43. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrobeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity is achieved through MRT combining ultra-high dose rates with micron-scale spatial fractionation of the delivered X-ray treatment field. Quality assurance dosimetry for MRT must therefore overcome a significant challenge, as detectors require both a high dynamic range and a high spatial resolutio...

An Environmental Scan of Advanced Practice Radiation Therapy in the United States: A PESTEL Analysis
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2023 May 9:S0360-3016(23)00450-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.05.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2021, the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapy Working Group (APRTWG) was established in the United States (U.S.) as a grassroots alliance of multidisciplinary Radiation Oncology professionals - radiation therapists (RTTs), physicians, dosimetrists, and administrators - located across the country, interested in studying and establishing the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist (APRT) level of practice in the U.S. The APRT model has shown success in the United Kingdom (U.K.), Canada, Australia,...
