Purpose: Early-stage endometrial cancer is often treated with hysterectomy followed by adjuvant vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VCB). Financial toxicity from cancer treatment can impact treatment completion. The Short Course Adjuvant Vaginal Cuff Brachytherapy in Early Endometrial Cancer Compared to Standard of Care trial is a multicenter, prospective randomized trial of standard of care (SoC) VCB doses delivered in 3 to 5 fractions per the physician's discretion compared with a 2-fraction course.

- The NRG/RTOG 0436 study investigated whether adding cetuximab to chemoradiation for non-operative esophageal cancer would improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs), focusing on the FACT-Esophageal cancer subscale (ECS).
- The study was stopped early due to failing to meet overall survival (OS) targets; among 344 enrolled patients, those receiving CRT plus cetuximab showed less improvement in ECS compared to those receiving standard CRT alone (37% vs. 53%).
- Overall, the results indicated that adding cetuximab did not enhance PROs related to symptoms, swallowing, or eating, and there was no significant link between clinical complete
Importance: No prior trial has compared hypofractionated postprostatectomy radiotherapy (HYPORT) to conventionally fractionated postprostatectomy (COPORT) in patients primarily treated with prostatectomy.
Objective: To determine if HYPORT is noninferior to COPORT for patient-reported genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms at 2 years.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this phase 3 randomized clinical trial, patients with a detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA; ≥0.
Introduction: It was hypothesized that use of proton beam therapy (PBT) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiation and consolidative immune checkpoint inhibition is associated with fewer unplanned hospitalizations compared with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
Methods: Patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated between October 2017 and December 2021 with concurrent chemoradiation with either IMRT or PBT ± consolidative immune checkpoint inhibition were retrospectively identified. Logistic regression was used to assess the association of radiation therapy technique with 90-day hospitalization and grade 3 (G3+) lymphopenia.
