The role of radiation therapy in metastatic disease has evolved from palliative to potentially curative intent for selected oligometastases using highly conformal radiation techniques, including extracranial stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the last decade. SBRT has a potential to use small numbers of large doses aiming at achieving...
Evidence on the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in low-intermediate risk squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (OSCC) remains inconclusive. Members of a task force from two national radio-oncology Associations (AIRO and GORTEC) defined 14 clinically relevant questions to identify "gray areas" pertinent to the indication for...

Purpose:Proton scattering on beam shaping devices and protons slowing down on media with different densities within the treatment volume may produce dose perturbations and range variations that are not predicted by treatment planning systems. The aim of this work was to assess the dosimetric impact of elements present in ocular proton therapy...
ABSTRACT: Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) represent 1% of sarcomas. Head and neck peripheral PNETs have an intermediate prognosis between abdominopelvic disease and extremities. We here report the case of a 40-year old male who presented with primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the thyroid and was treated by multimodal treatment,...

INTRODUCTION: New radiation therapy techniques seek to adapt dose distribution to three-dimensional tumor geometry, so as to deliver the lowest possible dose to normal tissue and at-risk organs. This is expected to enhance locoregional control and survival and to reduce complications and thereby improve quality of life. Post-radiation...
Highly conformal irradiation techniques are associated with steep gradient doses. Accuracy and reproducibility of delineation are required to avoid geometric misses and to properly report dose-volume effects on organs at risk. Guidelines of the International Commission on Radiation Units have largely contributed to high quality treatments. The...
With new irradiation techniques, the dose can be better matched to the contours of the tumour. The corollary is that greater precision is required. Recent intercomparison studies of treatment plans have emphasized the need to harmonise contouring practices. More of a consensus approach is based on using adaptive imaging modalities, expert group...
PURPOSE: To ask whether dose-rate influences low-dose hyper- radiosensitivity and induced radioresistance (HRS/IRR) response in rat colon progressive (PRO) and regressive (REG) cells. METHODS: Clonogenic survival was applied to tumorigenic PRO and non-tumorigenic REG cells irradiated with (60)Co γ-rays at 0.0025-500 mGy.min(-1). Both clonogenic...

Because of the unprecedented disruption of health care services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) identified an urgent need to issue practice recommendations for radiation oncologists treating head and neck cancer (HNC) in a time of...
Organ preservation protocols that incorporate chemoradiotherapy have shown good efficacy in bladder cancer. Owing to changes in rectal filling, urinary inflow and subsequent bladder volume with bladder wall deformations, irradiation must take into account interfractional and intrafractional internal target motion. Growing evidence suggests that...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) represent a multifactorial disease of poor prognosis. They have lagged behind other cancers in terms of personalized therapy. With expansion and high throughput sequencing methods, recent landmark exonic studies and Cancer Genome Atlas data have identified genes relevant to carcinogenesis and...
The objective of this study was to assess the comparative effectiveness of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), conformal and two-dimensional radiation therapy, proton beam, and carbon ion therapy in terms of tumor control and survival on the one hand and adverse events and quality of life on the other in irradiated head and neck...

The management of patients with cancer and Li-Fraumeni or heritable TP53-related cancer syndromes is complex because of their increased risk of developing second malignant neoplasms after genotoxic stresses such as systemic treatments or radiotherapy (radiosusceptibility). Clinical decision making also integrates the risks of normal tissue...

Salivary gland tumors in children are rare: they correspond to 8-10% of head and neck pediatric tumors. Clinicians of all disciplines should be aware of this diagnosis in front of non-inflammatory mass of the parotid or in the territory of other salivary glands. In children, 50% of salivary gland tumors are malignant which contrasts with a...
