Stereotactic Prostate Cancer Ablative Re‐Irradiation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (SPARE)

open access: yesThe Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is emerging as an alternative treatment for patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous radiation. This approach allows for precise target coverage while limiting toxicity to surrounding organs.

Synthesis of Samarium‐incorporated X‐ray‐sensitive nanoparticles and hydrogels: Diverse applications in radiation monitoring and dynamic information display

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Sm3+‐doped α‐NaLuF4 and β‐NaLuF4 were synthesized. The X‐ray‐activated persistent luminescence abilities and afterglow properties can be well controlled. Sm3+‐doped β‐NaLuF4 exhibits remarkable afterglow ability. The hexagonal β‐NaLuF4:3%Sm3+‐incorporated hydrogel can be further programmed with other types of hydrogels to enable tunable emission ...

Timeliness of Primary Radiotherapy for Cervical Cancer in Queensland: A 10 Year Rural–Urban Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

open access: yesAust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol
ABSTRACT Background Timely delivery of primary radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer is an important measure of quality cancer care. The impact of rural residence on timely access to radiotherapy for cervical cancer has not been examined in Australia.

Reducing unnecessary osteoporosis treatment in prostate cancer with FRAX‐BMD integration

open access: yesUroPrecision, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Men on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer frequently develop osteoporosis, and up to 20% fracture within five years. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) estimates 10‐year fracture probability with or without bone mineral density (BMD), but data in this population are scarce.

Timing for Radiotherapy Initiation After Dental Extraction and Risk of Osteoradionecrosis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients are advised to undergo dental extraction of teeth with poor prognosis prior to radiotherapy (RT) initiation to prevent osteoradionecrosis (ORN). However, insufficient healing time may result in persistent extraction wounds during RT, which constitute a potential risk factor for ORN, whereas ...

Re‐salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy for local recurrence of prostate cancer after salvage focal low‐dose rate brachytherapy

open access: yesIJU Case Reports
Introduction Salvage brachytherapy represents an effective treatment for local recurrence of prostate cancer after prior external beam radiotherapy. However, the optimal therapeutic strategies for local recurrence after salvage brachytherapy have not yet

Is there a role for an external beam boost in cervical cancer radiotherapy?

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2013
Objectives: Some patients are medically unfit for or averse to undergoing a brachytherapy boost as part of cervical cancer radiotherapy. In order to be able to definitively treat these patients, we assessed whether we could achieve a boost plan that ...

Use of a rectal spacer with low-dose-rate brachytherapy for treatment of prostate cancer in previously irradiated patients: Initial experience and short-term results

open access: yes, 2014
Salvage brachytherapy in patients with prior pelvic radiation carries a risk of rectal injury. Herein, we report our initial experience using a hydrogel spacer between the prostate and the rectum during salvage brachytherapy.
