Lung V5 and Planning Target Volume/Lung Volume Ratio as Independent Risk Factors for ≥Grade 2 Radiation Pneumonitis after Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy: A Retrospective Study

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung V5 and the planning target volume/lung volume ratio were identified as independent dosimetric risk factors for clinically significant radiation pneumonitis following moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy for lung cancer. Maintaining V5 < 35% may help mitigate this risk in clinical practice.

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐
