Radiotherapy toxicity

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019
Radiotherapy is used in >50% of patients with cancer, both for curative and palliative purposes. Radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation to target and kill tumour tissue, but normal tissue can also be damaged, leading to toxicity. Modern and precise radiotherapy techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, may prevent toxicity, but some patients ...

Radiotherapy

2011
Solitary plasmocytoma occurring in bone (solitary plasmocytoma of the bone, SBP) or in soft tissue (extramedullary plasmocytoma, EP) can be treated effectively and with little toxicity by local radiotherapy. Ten-year local control rates of up to 90% can be achieved.

Pembrolizumab with or without radiotherapy for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer: a pooled analysis of two randomised trials.

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy might augment systemic antitumoral responses to immunotherapy. In the PEMBRO-RT (phase 2) and MDACC (phase 1/2) trials, patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer were randomly allocated immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) with

Radiotherapy, immunity, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The Lancet Oncology
Radiotherapy exerts immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive effects, both locally, within the irradiated tumour microenvironment, and systemically, outside the radiation field.

Radiotherapy and hyperthermia

European Journal of Cancer, 1995
72 patients with either unresectable or pelvic recurrence of colorectal cancer were treated with combined radiotherapy and locoregional hyperthermia. Radiation doses were 50 Gy or more in patients not previously treated with radiotherapy, and 32 Gy (8 x 4 Gy) in patients who had previously received radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy for Mesothelioma

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2005
Three to four thousand cases of malignant pleural mesothelioma will occur in the United States this year. Single-modality therapy with radiation plays a role for palliation. Radiation can prevent tumor recurrence at drain/instrumentation sites and provide symptomatic relief of pain and other complaints.
