Radiotherapy‐Induced Otitis Media With Effusion in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis of eight studies comprising 582 NPC patients provides the first quantitative synthesis of radiotherapy‐induced otitis media with effusion (OME), demonstrating a significant overall risk difference of 0.18 (95% CI: −0.06 to 0.42, p < 0.0001) in OME naive ears.

Combining radiotherapy with CAR‐T cell therapy for solid tumors: Challenges, mechanisms, and future directions

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy enhances CAR‐Tcell therapy by increasing antigenicity, improving trafficking, and reshaping the tumor microenvironment. Despite its dual effects, including potential immune suppression, understanding these mechanisms enables the development of strategies to maximize synergy in solid tumors.

Advancement of microdosimetric kinetic model in heavy-ion radiotherapy

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract To date, more than 11,000 cancer patients have been treated with therapeutic carbon-ion beams at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). In the treatment planning system, the biological effectiveness of the therapeutic carbon-ion beams has been predicted based on the microdosimetric kinetic (MK) model.
