Mutlay Sayan, Teuta Zoto Mustafayev, Aykut Balmuk, Swati Mamidanna, Erva Seyma Sare Kefelioglu, Gorkem Gungor, Anupama Chundury, Nisha Ohri, Ercan Karaarslan, Enis Ozyar, Banu Atalar
Radiat Oncol J. 2020;38(3):176-180.   Published online July 14, 2020

Purpose: Approximately 10% of patients who received brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) develop symptomatic radiation necrosis (RN). We sought to determine the effectiveness of treatment options for symptomatic RN, based on patient-reported outcomes. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 217 patients with 414 brain metastases treated with SRS from 2009 to 2018 at our institution. Symptomatic RN was...

Pitchaya Sakyanun, Kitwadee Saksornchai, Chonnipa Nantavithya, Chakkapong Chakkabat, Kanjana Shotelersuk
Radiat Oncol J. 2020;38(3):181-188.   Published online September 22, 2020

Purpose: To determine the effect of the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique on left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) region and heart dose in left breast cancer irradiation. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five left breast cancer patients who previously received breast-conserving surgery underwent computed tomography (CT) simulation with both free-breathing (FB) and DIBH techniques and four radiation treatment plans. The...
Patterns of failure and clinical outcomes of post-operative buccal mucosa cancers treated with adjuvant ipsilateral radiotherapy
Satyajeet Rath, Ajeet K. Gandhi, Madhup Rastogi, Rohini Khurana, Rahat Hadi, Harikesh B. Singh, Sambit S. Nanda, Mohammad Azam, Anoop Srivastava, Avinav Bharati, Surendra Prasad Mishra
Radiat Oncol J. 2020;38(3):189-197.   Published online September 9, 2020

Purpose: Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in buccal mucosa cancers is guided by histopathological factors. The decision to treat ipsilateral or bilateral draining lymph node is on physician discretion and guidelines do not have a defined indication regarding this. We aimed to analyze the failure patterns and survival in buccal mucosa cancers treated with adjuvant ipsilateral RT. Materials and Methods: One hundred sixteen...
Survival and long-term toxicities of pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma after combined modality treatment: a single institute experience
Kye Jin Song, Jin-hong Park, Ho Joon Im, Seung Do Ahn
Radiat Oncol J. 2020;38(3):198-206.   Published online September 17, 2020

Purpose: To analyze the clinical outcomes and long-term toxicity of pediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma after combined-modality treatment (CMT) with involved-field or involved-nodal radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 27 pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma patients who received CMT at a single institution between January 1990 and July 2017. Patients with stage I–III received a heterogeneous chemotherapy regimen...
