Late Sequelae of Radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: Special challenges for research in this field arise from the long latency of radiation sequelae and the need for largescale, well-documented patient collectives in order to discern dose-effect relationships, and take account of cofactors, when the overall number of events is small. It is hoped that further technical and conceptual advances will be made in the areas of adaptive radiotherapy, proton and heavy-ion therapy, and personalized therapy.PMID:34024324 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2021.0024

Repeat Radiation for Local Recurrence of Head and Neck Tumors and in Prostate Cancer.
CONCLUSION: Although no comparative studies are available, it seems that modern external beam radiotherapy techniques can be used for repeat radiotherapy of locally recurrent head and neck tumors with curative intent after careful patient selection. Repeat radiotherapy of PCa must still be considered experimental, but initial results from small-scale trials are encouraging. The long-term adverse effects cannot yet be accessed. Patients should be selected by an interdisciplinary tumor board. This type of treatment is generally carried out in a specialized center. PMID: 32295696 [PubMed - in process]
