Comparing the long-term effectiveness of integrated IMRT vs segmented 3D-CRT after modified breast removal surgery in breast cancer patients

Posted by on Apr 3, 2021 in Breast cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared the long-term effectiveness of integrated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and segmented 3D-conventional radiotherapy (3D-CRT) following breast-removal surgery (radical mastectomy) in patients with breast cancer (BC). The data showed that integrated IMRT reduced the recurrence rate in the long-term with...

Comparing the safety outcomes between proton beam therapy vs intensity-modulated radiation therapy in early stage prostate cancer

Posted by on Mar 31, 2021 in Prostate cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared the safety outcomes between moderately-hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy (PBT) in patients with early-stage prostate cancer. The data showed that both treatments were safe and well-tolerated. Some background Radiation therapy (RT) is a treatment used for low- or...

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneously integrated boost leads to shorter treatment time with similar outcomes as conventional radiotherapy after surgery for breast cancer

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneously integrated boost leads to shorter treatment time with similar outcomes as conventional radiotherapy after surgery for breast cancer

Posted by on Jan 2, 2021 in Breast cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell This study compared the effects of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) to conventional radiotherapy (CRT) with a sequential boost (SeqB) following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with breast cancer. The data showed that both radiotherapy techniques...

Does immune checkpoint therapy and radiotherapy combination improve response in treating brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma?

Does immune checkpoint therapy and radiotherapy combination improve response in treating brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma?

Posted by on Dec 30, 2020 in Lung cancer | 0 comments

In a nutshell The study evaluated the timing of radiotherapy (RT) and immune-checkpoint therapy (ICT) on the outcomes of patients with brain metastasis (BrM) resulting from melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The authors found that RT and ICT given at the same time may improve response and delay recurrence in these patients. Some background...
