Toxicity of Hypofractionated Whole Breast Radiotherapy Without Boost and Timescale of Late Skin Responses in a Large Cohort of Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients.

Aim: To report toxicity of hypofractionated whole-breast radiotherapy in a large cohort of early-stage breast cancer (BCaients.

Materials And Methods: From 02/2009-05/2017, 1325 consecutive BCa patients were treated with 40.05 Gy/15 fractions, without boost.

Impact of molecular subtype on 1325 early-stage breast cancer patients homogeneously treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy without boost: Should the indications for radiotherapy be more personalized?

Aim: We report molecular subtype impact on 1325 early breast cancer (BCa) patients treated with whole breast hypofractionated (WBH) adjuvant forward-planned intensity modulated radiotherapy (F-IMRT) without boost.

Methods And Materials: From 02/2009-05/2017 1325 patients with pTis-pT3, pNx-N1aM0 BCa who underwent breast conservation surgery were treated with WBHF-IMRT in our institute, to a total dose of 40 Gy/15 fractions, without boost. Median age: 62 (interquartile range-IQR-:51.

Policies for reirradiation of recurrent high-grade gliomas: a survey among Italian radiation oncologists.

Purpose: To assess the contribution of Italian radiation oncologists in the current management of recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGG), focusing on a reirradiation (reRT) approach.

Methods: In 2015, the Reirradiation and the Central Nervous System Study Groups on behalf of the Italian Association of Radiation Oncology (AIRO) proposed a survey. All Italian radiation oncologists were individually invited to complete an online questionnaire regarding their clinical management of recurrent HGG, focusing on a reRT approach.

Consolidation radiotherapy for a rare case of extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue non-Hodgkin's lymphoma synchronous with prostate adenocarcinoma.

Nongastric primary extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are uncommon, with around 0.1% occurring in the prostate. Even less frequent is the presence of MALT lymphoma synchronous with another type of neoplasm in the same organ, especially the prostate.

Helical tomotherapy for scalp recurrence of primary eccrine mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinomas originating from sweat glands are rare tumors with patterns of spread that are difficult to predict. We present a case of a five times recurring eccrine mucinous adenocarcinoma of the scalp, previously treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. After magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT), which documented local recurrence, the patient was considered eligible for salvage irradiation of the scalp.
