Radiolabeled Coordination Polymer‐Loaded Microneedles for Synergistic Melanoma Brachytherapy–Immunotherapy via STING Activation and Pyroptosis

Exploration, EarlyView.
We developed a dissolvable microneedle patch that locally delivers a radiolabeled coordination polymer designed to simultaneously destroy tumor cells and stimulate antitumor immunity through STING activation and pyroptosis. This strategy significantly inhibited melanoma growth and improved the effectiveness of immune checkpoint therapy, highlighting a ...

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).

Local control and recurrence patterns after stereotactic irradiation delivered in more than 4 fractions for hepatocellular carcinomas and liver metastases: a retrospective study

Radiation Oncology
Background Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a safe and effective treatment for liver metastases or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a dose–response relationship for local control (LC). Proximity to organs at risk (OAR) often requires dose

Development of a virtual phantom for HDR cervical cancer brachytherapy: A multi-institutional tool for training, quality assurance, and variability reduction. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Background High‐dose‐rate brachytherapy (HDR‐BT) is a critical modality in the treatment of cervical cancer, requiring accurate and efficient treatment planning. Unlike external beam radiation therapy, HDR‐BT demands specialized skills and training.

Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

The Relevance of Curative‐Intent Metastasectomy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: Real‐World Insights From a Certified Comprehensive Cancer Center in Germany

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are ineligible for upfront metastasectomy may still become candidates for secondary metastasectomy with curative intent following response to primary chemotherapy. However, most studies dichotomize metastatic colorectal cancer into resectable and unresectable disease.
