Aim: To evaluate acute toxicity at 6 months after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with oligometastatic cancer within the OligoCare cohort.
Material And Methods: OligoCare is a prospective, registry-based, single-arm, observational study that aims to report prospective real-world data of patients with oligometastases from solid cancer treated with SBRT (NCT03818503). Primary tumor included non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and prostate cancer (PC).
Metastatic spread to the central nervous system (CNS) is frequent in anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK )-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has an important impact on patient prognosis and quality of life. Leptomeningeal involvement may occur in up to 10% of cases of ALK-positive NSCLC. Lorlatinib is a third-generation ALK inhibitor that has excellent CNS penetrability and demonstrated its efficacy both in pretreated and treatment-naive patients.

Furthermore, multimodal machine learning could have a large impact for precision medicine, as texture biomarkers can underlie tissue microstructure. This study aims to investigate imaging-based biomarkers of radio-induced neurotoxicity in pediatric patients with metastatic medulloblastoma, using radiomic and dosiomic analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAngiosarcoma (AS) represents a rare and aggressive vascular sarcoma, posing distinct challenges in clinical management compared to other sarcomas. While the current European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) clinical practice guidelines for sarcoma treatment are applicable to AS, its unique aggressiveness and diverse tumor presentations necessitate dedicated and detailed clinical recommendations, which are currently lacking. Notably, considerations regarding surgical extent, radiation therapy (RT), and neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy vary significantly in localized disease, depending on each different site of onset.
