Major weight loss is common in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who undergo radiotherapy (RT). How baseline posttreatment body composition affects outcome unknown.
Owing to its physical properties, intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) used for patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma has the ability reduce dose organs at risk compared radiotherapy (IMRT) while maintaining adequate tumor coverage. Our aim was compare clinical outcomes of these two treatment modalities.
BACKGROUND The National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) is the universal framework toxicity reporting in oncology trials. objective of this study was to develop a CTCAE‐compatible modified barium swallow (MBS) grade purpose grading pharyngeal dysphagia as endpoint cooperative‐group organ‐preservation trials head and neck cancer (HNC). It hypothesized that 5‐point, MBS (Dynamic Imaging Grade Swallowing Toxicity [DIGEST]) based on interaction residue...
Background: When achieved, complete surgical resection improves outcomes in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). However, most ATC patients present with advanced inoperable disease, often impending airway obstruction, increased hemorrhage risk, and significant dysphagia. Novel treatment strategies are critically needed to improve disease control decrease locoregional morbidity. The objective of this study was determine the feasibility effectiveness a neoadjuvant regimen by using dabrafenib...
Seminal investigation 2 decades ago alerted the oncology community to age disparities in participation cooperative group trials; less is known about whether these persist industry-funded research.To characterize among trial enrollees on randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of common cancers and identify factors associated with wider imbalances.Phase 3 RCTs were identified through ClinicalTrials.gov.Multiarm assessing a therapeutic intervention for patients breast, prostate, colorectal, or lung...
Consensus is lacking as to the optimal radiotherapy dose and fractionation schedule for treating bone metastases.To assess relative efficacy of high-dose, single-fraction stereotactic body (SBRT) vs standard multifraction (MFRT) alleviation pain in patients with mostly nonspine metastases.This prospective, randomized, single-institution phase 2 noninferiority trial conducted at a tertiary cancer care center enrolled 160 radiologically confirmed painful metastases from September 19, 2014,...
This paper relates the post-analysis of first edition HEad and neCK TumOR (HECKTOR) challenge. challenge was held as a satellite event 23rd International Conference on Medical Image Computing Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) 2020, its kind focusing lesion segmentation in combined FDG-PET CT image modalities. The challenge's task is automatic Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) Head Neck (H&N) oropharyngeal primary tumors FDG-PET/CT images. To this end, participants were given training set 201...

Purpose Although adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resected gallbladder cancer may improve survival some patients, identifying which patients will benefit remains challenging because of the rarity this disease. The specific aim study was to create a decision aid help make individualized estimates potential with cancer. Methods Patients were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) –Medicare database who diagnosed between 1995 2005. Covariates included age, race, sex,...
This study aimed to analyze gender differences in rank, career duration, publication productivity, and research funding among radiation oncologists at U.S. academic institutions.For 82 domestic oncology departments, the authors identified current faculty recorded their degree, gender. The bibliographic metrics for physician from a commercially available database (Scopus, Elsevier BV), including numbers of publications 1996 2012 h-indices. then concatenated these data with National Institutes...
The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for gallbladder cancer remains controversial because most published data are from small, single-institution studies. purpose this study was to construct a survival prediction model enable individualized predictions the net RT patients based on specific tumor and patient characteristics.A multivariate Cox proportional hazards constructed using 4,180 with resected diagnosed 1988 2003 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database.
