REVIEW ARTICLE 2022 December 26 Journey to hypofractionation in radiotherapy for breast cancer: critical reviews for recent updates
Historical conventional fractionated radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer consisted of 1.8–2.0 Gy per fraction with a total dose of 45–60 Gy over 5–7 weeks. Based on radiobiological characteristics, a low α/β is suspected of breast cancer resulting in sensitivity to h...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2022 December 2 Patterns of failure for hypopharynx cancer patients treated with limited high-dose radiotherapy treatment volumes
Purpose: Optimal radiotherapy treatment volumes for patients with locally advanced hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma should ensure maximal tumor coverage with minimal inclusion of normal surrounding structures. Here we evaluated the effectiveness of a direct 3-mm high-dose gro...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2022 December 26 Stereotactic radiosurgery for limited brain metastasis using three different techniques: helical tomotherapy, volumetric modulated arc therapy, and cone-based LINAC radiosurgery
Purpose: Specific radiation delivered to tumors by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has become widely used in the treatment of brain metastasis. This study aimed to compare radiation therapy planning and its parameters from SRS using three different modalities: helical tomotherap...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2022 December 26 Dosimetric evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging-guided adaptive radiation therapy in pancreatic cancer by extent of re-contouring of organs-at-risk
Purpose: The safety of online contouring and planning for adaptive radiotherapy is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the dosimetric difference of the organ-at-risk (OAR) according to the extent of contouring in stereotactic magnetic resonance image-guided adaptive RT (SMART)...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2022 December 27 Clinical utilization of radiation therapy in Korea between 2017 and 2019
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical infrastructure and utilization of radiotherapy (RT) services in Korea between 2017 and 2019. Materials and Methods: We extracted the data of patients who underwent RT between 2017 and 2019 from the Health Insurance Review and ...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2022 December 26 Feasibility and safety of neck level IB-sparing radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer: a long-term single institution analysis
Purpose: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) has a higher prevalence of regional nodal metastasis than other head and neck cancers; however, level IB lymph node involvement is rare. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of level IB-sparing radiotherapy (RT) for NPC patients. Material...

CASE REPORT 2022 December 26 Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee joint: 3-year follow-up of a case report
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative, recurrent and locally invasive disease of the synovium. The symptoms of the disorder are not typical and thus it is very often misdiagnosed. Most of the times, magnetic resonance imaging presents the nodular model of de...
