REVIEW ARTICLE 2021 October 25 Abscopal effect in the radio and immunotherapy
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 radi...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 October 26 Computed tomography-based radiomic model predicts radiological response following stereotactic body radiation therapy in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer and pulmonary oligo-metastases
Purpose: Radiomic models elaborate geometric and texture features of tumors extracted from imaging to develop predictors for clinical outcomes. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been increasingly applied in the ablative treatment of thoracic tumors. This study aims ...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 September 3 Hyperfractionated radiotherapy for re-irradiation of recurrent esophageal cancer
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. Mate...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 October 26 Efficacy and safety of sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy and short-course radiation therapy followed by delayed surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer: a single-arm phase II clinical trial with subgroup analysis between the older and young patients
Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of short-course radiation therapy (SCRT) and sequential chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery in locally advancer rectal cancer with subgroup analysis between the older and young patients. Materials and...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 December 7 Re-irradiation for recurrent or second primary head and neck cancer
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 b...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 December 8 Clinical features and treatment outcomes of resected large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung
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 revie...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 December 14 Prognostic value of the maximum standardized uptake value for the locoregional control in early glottic cancer
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 patie...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 December 17 Impact of somatic mutations on clinical and pathologic outcomes in borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy followed by surgical resection
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 chemothera...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 December 24 Clinical factors affecting the determination of radiotherapy-induced skin toxicity in breast cancer
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 ...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE 2021 August 17 Gamma-ray irradiation modulates PGRMC1 expression and the number of CD56⁺ and FoxP3⁺ cells in the tumor microenvironment of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma
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 irradiati...
