In the past 2 decades, remarkable advances have occurred in radiation therapy technology, including development of inverse treatment planning, improved patient immobilization techniques and organ motion adaptations, precision treatment delivery

radiation therapy (RT). Methods : Retrospective data was collected on 66 patients with a primary diagnosis of gynecologic cancer who received RT for brain metastases (BM) at a single institution from 2001-2021. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan

targeted therapies have not been very effective and, unfortunately, often increase rates of treatment-related toxicity. Radiation therapy has been shown to improve local control, stability of disease progression, and pain control in many stages of

Cancer suggest consideration of radiation therapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy in larger T2 or T3 lesions not amenable to up-front organ-sparing surgery. 3 However, minimal published data, either retrospective or prospective, exists for patients

involving surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, radiology, and pathology. 2 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for STS recommend the addition of neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) to surgery for patients

postoperative radiation therapy (RT). However, predictors for recurrence after RT are not as clear. We analyzed our institutional experience with MSGTs to identify predictors of radiation outcomes. Methods: Ninety-one MSGT patients treated with adjuvant photon

• Distinguish the clinical presentations of the sporadic and familial forms of MTC • Describe the added value of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for patients with MTC • Identify options for the palliative treatment of MCT M

, there may be a bright future ahead for patients with H&N cancers and for the clinicians who treat them. Advances in radiation therapy (RT) have given Dr. Spencer and her colleagues some formidable tools to manage their patients with H&N cancers. “As we

Aims : To compare acute toxicities with three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) versus intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in carcinoma cervix patients at a tertiary cancer center. Objectives : To compare

disease response rates are different after preoperative radiation therapy (RT) compared with chemotherapy is unclear—in other gastrointestinal malignancies, the use of preoperative RT is associated with higher pathologic response rates relative to
