This review is devoted to a rare in clinical practice, but promising phenomenon of regression distant non-irradiated metastases in combination therapy of cancer patients. R. H. Mole in 1953 suggested introducing the term “abscopal effect” to denote the effect of ionizing radiation “at a distance from the irradiated volume but within the same organism.” Currently, it is a hypothesis in... |

Purpose: Re-irradiation is a treatment option for recurrent esophageal cancer patients with a history of radiotherapy, but there is a risk of severe late adverse effects. This study focused on the efficacy and safety of re-irradiation using hyperfractionated radiotherapy.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients who underwent re-irradiation by the hyperfraction technique using twice-daily irradiation of 1.2 Gy per fraction for... |

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)-based re-irradiation (reRT) for recurrent or second primary head and neck cancer (HNC).
Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent IMRT-based reRT for recurrent or second primary HNC between 2007 and 2019 at two institutions were included. Medical records and dosimetric data were retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), severe... |

Purpose: Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a high-grade lung neuroendocrine tumor with a poor prognosis, similar to small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, it remains unclear whether to treat LCNEC as non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or as SCLC. We reviewed our experiences to suggest appropriate treatment strategy for resected pulmonary LCNEC.
Materials and Methods: Forty-four patients were treated for... |

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of the pretreatment maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for locoregional control (LRC) of early glottic cancer treated with primary radiotherapy.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 101 patients with T1-T2N0 glottic cancer treated with helical tomotherapy between 2013 and 2016. The clinical T-stages were T1 in 87 (86.1%) and T2 in... |

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if somatic mutations are associated with clinical and pathologic outcomes in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) or locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
Materials and Methods: Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and SBRT followed by surgical resection from August... |

Purpose: Radiotherapy is essential for the treatment of breast cancer (BC). However, adverse effects may occur in healthy tissue, during treatment and even after several months. Although it is known that this clinical radiosensitivity is multifactorial, the factors involved are unknown yet. In this study, we evaluated the effect of these factors on the development of radiodermatitis in patients undergoing... |

Purpose: Although the conventional gamma ray brachytherapy has been successful in treating endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC), the molecular and cellular mechanisms of this anti-tumorigenic response remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether gamma ray irradiation induces changes in the number of FoxP3+ T-regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs), CD56+ natural killer cells (NK), and the expression of progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) in... |
