Radiation therapy (RT) has dramatically improved cancer survival, leading to several inevitable complications. Unintentional irradiation of the heart can lead to radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), including cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and conduction system abnormalities. Furthermore, the development of RIHD is aggravated with the addition of chemotherapy. The screening, diagnosis, and follow-up for RIHD in patients who...

Purpose: This study aims to assess the locoregional efficacy of postoperative vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) alone in patients undergoing surgical staging for early-stage high-intermediate-risk (HIR) and high-risk (HR) endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods: One hundred and four patients with early-stage HIR and HR endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging were treated with adjuvant VBT alone. The patients with stage Ib, grade...

Purpose: To investigate the role of pre- and post-stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with localized pancreatic cancer treated with anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death protein-1) antibody and SBRT. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective review of 68 patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with anti-PD-1 antibody and SBRT after multi-agent chemotherapy. Immunotherapy...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and toxicity profile of patients with early glottic cancer who underwent hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) with 3.5 Gy per fraction. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed of the medical records of 35 patients with early stage (T1-2N0M0) glottic cancer who underwent definitive RT. The dose fractionation scheme...

Purpose: To assess the feasibility of accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 27 patients after breast-conserving surgery were included in this study. Patients were planned on a four-dimensional computerized tomogram, and contouring was done using RTOG guidelines. The dose was 34 Gy/10#/2 week to the breast and 40...

Purpose: For patients with early breast cancer who undergo breast-conserving surgery, adjuvant whole breast irradiation (WBI) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) results in lower radiotherapy fractions. Published studies have shown that both conventional fraction with SIB (C-SIB) and hypofractionation with SIB (H-SIB) seem to be safe and feasible. In this study, we sought to compare the oncologic outcomes between C-SIB...

Purpose: Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CRT) is widely applied for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. Pelvic node irradiation improves control of the disease. Although the therapeutic guidelines support the use of hypofractionated and accelerated radiotherapy (HypoAR), this is addressed to prostate and seminal vesicles. At the same time, the safety and efficacy of HypoAR for pelvic node irradiation remain obscure. Material...

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis typically featuring lower extremity osteosclerosis (96%) from Langerin-negative histiocytes with fibrosis. Central nervous system (CNS)-only disease is extremely rare, and particularly difficult to diagnose and manage. Neurologic complaints may be refractory to systemic therapy (ST), and the role of radiation therapy (RT) is undefined. We present a patient with ECD of...
