Introduction: Nutritional care is a cornerstone of cancer treatment, with the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes by addressing malnutrition and enhancing recovery. Despite growing awareness, integration evidence-based nutritional strategies into oncology remains inconsistent. Following 2020 survey that highlighted critical gaps, NutriOnc Research Group launched targeted initiatives raise awareness practices. This study reassesses progress in integrating identifies persistent...
Several studies have evaluated cardioprotective strategies to prevent myocardial dysfunction in patients who are receiving cardiotoxic therapies. However, the optimal approach still represents a controversial issue.To determine whether pharmacological cardioprevention could reduce subclinical heart damage with breast cancer being treated anthracycline-based chemotherapy.The SAFE trial was 4-arm, randomized, phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, national multicentric study conducted at 8...
Preoperative partial breast irradiation (PBI) has got the advantage of treating a well-defined target. We report results phase II ROCK trial (NCT03520894), enrolling early cancer (BC) patients treated with preoperative robotic radiosurgery (prRS), in terms acute and late toxicity, disease control, cosmesis.The study recruited between 2018 2021 at our Radiation Oncology Unit. Eligible were 50 + years old BC, hormonal receptors positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative...
264 Background: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to lung metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) has been applied improve disease control in the oligometastatic (OM) and oligoprogressive (OP) setting. The aim of this study is assess impact KRAS mutational (KRASmut) status response SBRT LM. Methods: Data a consecutive cohort OM/OP CRC patients treated at our Institution with for LM May 2019 March 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients (age, KRASmut primary tumor, disease,...
The ongoing global health challenge of cancer is driving the pursuit innovative avenues for prevention, treatment, and enhanced outcomes. convergence nutrition immune modulation, known as immunonutrition, ready to act a catalyst transformative change in research therapy. Our study employs bibliometric analysis uncover evolving trends within immunonutrition across past 25 years. Bibliometric data, including authors, journals, affiliations, countries, were analyzed using Bibliometrix R...
Malnutrition is a common condition in cancer patients which usually associated with functional limitations, as well increased morbidity and mortality. Based on the support of young sections Italian Association Medical Oncology (AIOM), Radiotherapy Clinical (AIRO) Society Surgical (SICO) merged into NutriOnc Research Group, we performed multidisciplinary national survey aim to define awareness nutritional issues among healthcare professionals delivering anticancer care. The questionnaire was...
Abstract Purpose Taste alteration (TA) is a frequent acute side effect of radiation treatment in HNSCC patients. Principal aim our study was to investigate dosimetric parameters relation patient-assessed taste impairment prospective cohort treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Methods All patients locally advanced and amenable radical were included. Chemotherapy-induced scale (CITAS), EORTC QLQ-C30 QLQ-HN43 questionnaires at baseline (T0), 3 weeks (T1) months (T2) after radiotherapy...
Abstract Background and purpose COVID-19 constitutes a worldwide threat, prompting Italian Government to implement specific measures on March 8, 2020, protect patients health workers from disease transmission. The impact of preventive daily activity radiotherapy facility may hamper the ability fulfill normal workload burden. Thus, we assessed number delivered treatments in observation period after adoption (since 11 April 24, 2020) compared it with corresponding year 2019. Materials methods...
In the last months, Italy faced a COVID-19 emergency and implemented preventive measures in order to protect patients healthcare providers from disease outbreak. The pandemic control strategies impacted patient experience directly. Questionnaires evaluating reported (PREMs) may assess critical issues represent helpful tool measure perception of service. Our aim was prospectively satisfaction about doctor-patient interaction high-volume radiation therapy oncology center during pandemic.Cancer...
