Purpose No randomized trials have been conducted to directly compare radiotherapy (RT) with concomitant cisplatin (CDDP) versus cetuximab (CTX) as first-line treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma the head and neck. In this trial, we compared these two regimens in terms compliance, toxicity, efficacy. Patients Methods Eligible patients were randomly assigned a 1:1 ratio receive either CDDP 40 mg/m 2 once per week or CTX 400 loading dose followed by 250 radical RT. For primary...
Performing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on head and neck cancer patients (HNCPs) requires robust training experience. Thus, in 2011, the Head Neck Cancer Working Group (HNCWG) of Italian Association Radiation Oncology (AIRO) organized a study group with aim to run literature review outline clinical practice recommendations, suggest technical solutions advise target volumes doses selection for IMRT. The main purpose was therefore standardize approach radiation oncologists this...
Abstract Background We investigated whether the pattern of intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) dose distribution to skin can be correlated with development G3/G4 radiation dermatitis (RD). Methods A frequency‐matched cohort analysis was perfomed on patients treated IMRT and concurrent cisplatin or cetuximab. Risk ratios were obtained by fitting Poisson regression models. Results The incidence RD 41.1% in 90 included (50% vs 36.6% cetuximab cohorts, respectively). In multivariate...
To compare 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) treatment plans based on free-breathing (FB) and deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) investigated whether DIBH technique enables a decrease of cardiac left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) lungs dose with respect to the FB.Twenty-three left-sided breast cancer patients referred for were included. The planning target volume (PTV) encompassed organs at risk including heart, LADCA, lungs, contralateral breast, which contoured in FB CT...
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Our previous survey showed that the patterns of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) in Italy might be suboptimal. A prospective observational study was therefore designed to evaluate this issue greater detail. METHODS All centers involved HNC Working Group Italian Radiation Oncology Association were asked enter into all patients treated with PORT during a 6-month period. RESULTS total 200 accrued by 24 from December 2008 May 2009. Larynx (38%)...

Purpose or Objective: Most of trials which established the standard treatment locally advanced oesophageal cancer included M0 stage according to 6th edition AJCC staging system.Now in 7th system, supraclavicular and celiac lymph node (LN) metastasis are no more classified into M1, but considered same as other regional LNs.We aimed evaluate outcomes NACRT followed by surgery thoracic
