ASTRO: Shorter Radiation Feasible for Low-, Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer
Findings at five years show 96 percent disease control rate
ASTRO: Hypofractionation Effective for Radiotherapy After Breast Reconstruction
Use of hypofractionation is as effective as conventionally fractionated RT for women undergoing reconstruction after mastectomy
Shorter Courses of Radiotherapy Increasingly Used for Prostate Cancer
Recent drop seen in proportion of patients receiving conventional fractionation; increase seen in moderate hypofractionation and ultrahypofractionation
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Best for Locally Advanced NSCLC
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy spares more normal tissue than 3D-conformal radiotherapy
Exposure to Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation Linked to Solid Cancer Mortality
Estimated rate of mortality due to solid cancer increased by 52 percent per Gy with cumulative dose, lagged by 10 years
Low Recurrence Seen With Omission of Radiation in Some Breast Cancer Cases
Finding seen among women aged at least 55 years with T1N0, grade 1 or 2, luminal A breast cancer receiving breast-conserving surgery, endocrine therapy
Care at High-Volume Radiation Treatment Centers Tied to Higher Survival
Findings seen among men with very high-risk prostate cancer
Biological Aging Accelerated With Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment
Radiation has strong positive association with biological aging in analyses examining different breast cancer therapies
Toxicity Reduced With MRI-Guided Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
Odds ratios for acute grade 2 or higher genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicities reduced for MRg-A-SBRT versus CT-SBRT
Prolonged Time to Postop Radiation Linked to Worse Survival in Oral Cavity Cancer
Worse overall survival seen for prolonged median time from surgery to initiation of postoperative radiation
