CT-Adapative SBRT for Recurrent Retroperitoneal Sarcomas
For patients with recurrent retroperitoneal sarcomas that cannot be treated surgically, treatment choices are limited. These tumors can grow in the abdomen adjacent to vital organs or enmeshed within ...
Impact of Proton and Photon Therapies on HRQOL in Breast Cancer
Health-related quality-of-life measurements demonstrated that both proton and photon radiation therapies led to excellent and similar impacts on quality of life for patients with breast cancer undergo...
Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: Shorter Radiation Improves Patient Experience, But Not Disease Control
For patients with intermediate-risk, localized prostate cancer, radiation therapy delivered in five sessions reduced patient-reported side effects compared to longer courses of radiation, according to...
Oropharyngeal Cancer Quality-of-Life Outcomes: IMRT vs Proton-Beam Therapy
A new phase III clinical trial has found that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton-beam therapy resulted in similar quality-of-life outcomes and low rates of side effects for people...
SABR May Be Comparable to Surgery for Early-Stage NSCLC
Stereotactic radiation therapy (SABR) was found to be noninferior to surgical resection in terms of overall survival for patients with early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to 10-y...
Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Safe and Beneficial in Locally Advanced Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Adjuvant radiation therapy following radical cystectomy and chemotherapy was found to be safe and efficacious for patients with locally advanced muscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to findings f...
PAM50 Subtyping Identifies Patients With Prostate Cancer Most Likely to Benefit From Apalutamide
Assessment with a genomic test could help predict which patients with recurrent prostate cancer are most likely to benefit from the addition of hormonal therapy to radiation following prostatectomy, a...
Prostate Cancer: Radiopharmaceutical Plus SBRT Delays Progression in Patients With Limited Metastatic Disease
A new clinical trial found that people with a limited number of metastases from recurrent prostate cancer lived significantly longer without disease progression when they received a radiopharmaceutica...
