Adjuvant modern radiotherapy in resected pN2 NSCLC patients: results from a multicentre retrospective analysis on acute and late toxicity on behalf of AIRO thoracic oncology study group: the RAC-TAC study.

Background: Recently, the PORT-C and LUNG-ART trials, which evaluated the role of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT), have significantly altered the treatment landscape for NSCLC pN2 patients who previously underwent surgery. In response, the Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Oncology Thoracic Oncology study group has initiated an observational multicenter trial to assess both acute and late toxicities of PORT in pN2 NSCLC patients treated with modern techniques.

Methods: Data on NSCLC patients submitted to PORT after radical surgery treated between 2015 and 2020 in six Italian Centers were collected.

Sterotactic Ablative Radiotherapy in a Multicentric Series of Oligometastatic SCLC: The SAMOS Cohort.

Aims: SCLC is the most aggressive lung cancer histology with a 5-year OS <10%. At the diagnosis, almost two-thirds of the SCLC an Extended Disease presentation. Two randomized studies (CASPIAN and ImPower133) demonstrated an OS improvement, when immunotherapy was prescribed as maintenance therapy after standard chemotherapy.

A predictive model of polymetastatic disease from a multicenter large retrospectIve database on colorectal lung metastases treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy: The RED LaIT-SABR study.

Aim: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) showed increasing survival in oligometastatic patients. Few studies actually depicted oligometastatic disease (OMD) evolution and which patient will remain disease-free and which will rapidly develop a polymetastatic disease (PMD) after SABR. Therefore, apart from the number of active metastases, there are no clues on which proven factor should be considered for prescribing local treatment in OMD.

Oligorecurrent Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Treated by Chemo-Radiation Followed by Immunotherapy and Intracranial Radiosurgery: A Case Report and Mini Review of Literature.

Locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer still represents a "grey zone" in terms of the best treatment choice and optimal clinical outcomes. Indeed, most patients may be suitable to receive different treatments with similar outcomes such as chemo-radiotherapy (CHT-RT) followed by immunotherapy (IO) or surgery followed by adjuvant local/systemic therapies. We report a clinical case of a patient submitted to primary thoracic surgery who developed a mediastinal nodal recurrence successfully treated by CHT-RT-IO.

Lattice Radiation Therapy in clinical practice: A systematic review.

Purpose: Lattice radiation therapy (LRT) is an innovative type of spatially fractionated radiation therapy. It aims to increase large tumors control probability by administering ablative doses without an increased toxicity. Considering the rising number of positive clinical experiences, the objective of this work is to evaluate LRT safety and efficacy.
