Head and neck cancer patients under (chemo-)radiotherapy undergoing nutritional intervention: Results from the prospective randomized HEADNUT-trial.

Purpose/objective: Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck undergoing (chemo-)radiotherapy are at high risk of malnutrition. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of prospective, randomized trials investigating the influence of nutritional status on therapy-related toxicity and patients' outcome.

Materials And Methods: Between October 2018 and October 2020, 61 patients were randomized into an intervention and control group.

Toxicity and risk factors after combined high-dose-rate brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy in men ≥75 years with localized prostate cancer.

Purpose: Combined high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a favorable treatment option in non-metastatic prostate cancer. However, reports on toxicity and outcome have mainly focused on younger patients. We aimed to determine toxicity and biochemical control rates after combined HDR-BT and EBRT in men ≥75 years.
