The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 9804 study identified good-risk patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a breast cancer diagnosis found frequently mammographically detected cancers, to test the benefit of radiotherapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery compared observation.This prospective randomized trial (1998 2006) women low- or intermediate-grade DCIS, measuring less than 2.5 cm margins ≥ 3 mm, RT observation surgery. was designed for 1,790 but closed early because lower...

Vasomotor symptoms are common adverse effects of antiestrogen hormone treatment in conventional breast cancer care. Hormone replacement therapy is contraindicated patients with cancer. Venlafaxine (Effexor), the choice for these symptoms, has numerous effects. Recent studies suggest acupuncture may be effective reducing vasomotor menopausal women. This randomized controlled trial tested whether reduces and produces fewer than venlafaxine.Fifty were randomly assigned to receive 12 weeks (n =...

The initial report of NRG Oncology/Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0424 demonstrated a 3-year overall survival benefit with the addition temozolomide to radiotherapy compared historical control. However, an important end point trial-evaluation association between O6-methylgaunine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation and outcomes-was not previously reported.To examine proportion patients in Oncology/RTOG MGMT its outcomes.Specimens collected were analyzed after trial...

Randomized trials have established the long-term safety and efficacy of hypofractionated whole-breast radiotherapy, but little is known about acute toxic effects experienced by patients treated with hypofractionation as compared conventional fractionation, particularly in real-world settings from patient's own perspective.To evaluate prospectively collected data on patient-reported outcomes a cohort varying radiation fractionation schemes practices collaborating Michigan Radiation Oncology...

Purpose Radiation dose to cardiac substructures is related radiation‐induced heart disease. However, are not considered in radiation therapy planning (RTP) due poor visualization on CT. Therefore, we developed a novel deep learning (DL) pipeline leveraging MRI’s soft tissue contrast coupled with CT for state‐of‐the‐art substructure segmentation requiring single, non‐contrast input. Materials/methods Thirty‐two left‐sided whole‐breast cancer patients underwent T2 MRI and CT‐simulation. A...

<h3>Importance</h3> Understanding whether physicians accurately detect symptoms in patients with breast cancer is important because recognition of facilitates supportive care, and clinical trials often rely on physician assessments using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). <h3>Objective</h3> To compare the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) who received radiotherapy from January 1, 2012, to March 31, 2020, physicians' CTCAE assess underrecognition symptoms. <h3>Design,...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive form of subtype often treated with radiotherapy (RT). Due to its intrinsic heterogeneity and lack effective targets, it crucial identify novel molecular targets that would increase RT efficacy. Here we demonstrate the role BUB1 (cell cycle Ser/Thr kinase) in TNBC radioresistance offer strategy improve treatment. Gene expression analysis was performed look at genes upregulated patient samples compared other subtypes. Cell...

Racial and ethnic diversity has historically been difficult to achieve in National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical trials, even while as many 80% of those trials have faced difficulty meeting overall recruitment targets. In an attempt address these issues, NRG Oncology recently convened a comprehensive workshop titled "Clinical Trials Enrollment: Challenges Opportunities." Discussants at the included representatives three legacy groups (ie, Gynecologic Group, Surgical Adjuvant Breast...

To our knowledge, NRG/RTOG 9804 is the only randomized trial to assess impact of whole breast irradiation (radiation therapy [RT]) versus observation (OBS) in women with good-risk ductal carcinoma situ (DCIS), following lumpectomy. Long-term results focusing on ipsilateral recurrence (IBR), primary outcome, are presented here.Eligible patients underwent lumpectomy for DCIS that was mammogram detected, size ≤ 2.5 cm, final margins ≥ 3 mm, and low or intermediate nuclear grade. Consented were...

BUB1 is overexpressed in most human solid cancers including breast cancer. Higher levels are associated with poor prognosis especially patients triple-negative cancer (TNBC). Women TNBC often develop resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which still the mainstay of treatment for TNBC. Our previous studies demonstrated that kinase inhibitor (BAY1816032) reduced tumor cell proliferation significantly enhanced radiotherapy efficacy In this study, we evaluated effectiveness BAY1816032 a...
