Mashup Score: 7ESTRO/EANO recommendation on reirradiation of glioblastoma - 2 month(s) ago
Reirradiation of brain tumors has a long history of preclinical and clinical studies especially with regards to effectiveness and safety in the recurrent setting. Clinical benefit for reirradiation of brain tumors with data from individual case series dates back more than 80 years [1]. In a recent systematic review by the European Society of Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) of 439 studies conducted from 2000 to 2020 on reirradiation, 117 (24 %) involved the brain, and most of them included patients with high-grade gliomas [2].

Mashup Score: 14Phase II trial of organ preservation program using short-course radiation and FOLFOXIRI for rectal cancer (SHORT-FOX): Two-Year primary outcome analysis - 2 month(s) ago
In the United States, locally advanced rectal cancer has traditionally been treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) and adjuvant chemotherapy [1]. Despite excellent local control, rates of distant metastasis in this population can exceed 25 % [2–4]. Patients who achieve a clinical complete response (cCR) after neoadjuvant therapy may be safely observed via an organ preservation strategy instead of TME [5–13], which can be associated with sexual, urinary, bowel dysfunction, and/or permanent ostomy [14–16].

Mashup Score: 91-year efficacy results after MR-guided risk-adapted stereotactic radiotherapy of infra-diaphragmatic oligometastases in a multicenter phase II trial - 5 month(s) ago
During the last decade, several research groups have succeeded in recruiting to randomized controlled trials and reported the outcome of the use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) [1–6]. Large variations exist in reported outcomes among published series, and patient selection plays an important part in this variation [7]. Evidence indicates that treating lesions with a radiotherapeutic definitive intent in the abdominal region is associated with worse outcomes, including increased toxicity and decreased local control rates compared to other treatment sites [8–11].

Mashup Score: 114Toxicity in patients receiving radiotherapy for ultracentral stage I non-small cell lung cancer: A secondary analysis of the LUSTRE randomized trial - 6 month(s) ago
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is increasingly used to treat early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in medically inoperable patients. Excellent rates of local control (87 %-95 %) and overall survival (65–76 %) have been reported, and toxicity rates are generally low [1–4].

Mashup Score: 6A systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of institutional peer review in radiation oncology - 7 month(s) ago
The link between protocol deviations in radiotherapy and worse clinical outcomes, is well documented in several clinical trials [1]. In real-world clinical practice, one of the key strategies employed by centres to prevent errors is peer review. Following the development of a radiation therapy treatment plan, an evaluation is performed by the treating radiation oncologist and typically a medical physicist, that may involve multiple iterations to achieve an acceptable plan. Peer review is another key component of plan evaluation that involves the appraisal by additional radiation oncologists, and potentially other members of the multidisciplinary team.
