Management of de novo Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC) and the role of Radiation Therapy: A Consensus by the Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology (AIRO).

Purpose: Prostate cancer treatments paradigms are in continuous evolution, especially in the metastatic setting. In this context, the Genito-Urinary Group of Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology aimed to create a consensus on radiation therapy indication in de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer both on primary tumor and metastatic sites.

Methods: A panel of experts, involved in clinical management of prostate cancer, through the estimate-talk-estimate method, developed a list of items and correspondent statements on the identified topic.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratios as Predictors of Dysphagia Severity and Quality of Life in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Patients after Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT).

: Patients treated with definitive radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) develop severe dysphagia, affecting their quality of life. Traditional prognosis biomarkers are insufficient, leading to a search for new predictors like neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). : We retrospectively enrolled 44 NPC patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy between 2010 and 2018.

Thyroid Nodule Characterization: Overview and State of the Art of Diagnosis with Recent Developments, from Imaging to Molecular Diagnosis and Artificial Intelligence.

Ultrasound (US) is the primary tool for evaluating patients with thyroid nodules, and the risk of malignancy assessed is based on US features. These features help determine which patients require fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. Classification systems for US features have been developed to facilitate efficient interpretation, reporting, and communication of thyroid US findings.

The Immunomodulatory Potential of Concurrent High-Dose Radiotherapy and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Cemiplimab in Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Initial Results.

In this retrospective case series, we investigate the synergistic effect and the immunomodulatory potential of combination radiotherapy and immunotherapy on 11 patients affected by locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), treated at our institution between 2020 and 2023. The primary endpoints of this study are objective tumor response, assessed by Immunotherapy Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST), and time to treatment failure (disease progression). In all patients, surgery was deemed not amenable, due to its potential functional and aesthetic impact.
