Efficacy of radiotherapy for bone metastasis in breast cancer patients treated with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors.

Background: In patients diagnosed withestrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, bone metastasesemerge as theprimary siteofsignificant tumor burden. Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6i) inhibitorsare thegold standard in this clinical scenario, while radiotherapy (RT) represents a valuable addition. However, data on the efficacy of this combination remain scarce.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) re-irradiation for local failures following radical prostatectomy and post-operative radiotherapy.

Purpose: Local recurrences after radical prostatectomy (RP) and postoperative radiotherapy (RT) are challenging for salvage treatment. Retrospective analysis of own experiences with salvage re-irradiation was performed.

Methods: The study included all consecutive patients treated with salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy (sSBRT) for prostate bed recurrence following RP and postoperative RT at a single tertiary center between 2014 and 2021.

Rectum and Bladder Toxicity in Postoperative Prostate Bed Irradiation: Dose-Volume Parameters Analysis.

Although prostate cancer treatment is increasingly effective, its toxicities pose a major concern. The aim of our study was to assess the rate of adverse events (AEs) and the prognostic value of dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters for the occurrence of treatment toxicity in patients treated with post-prostatectomy prostate bed radiotherapy (RT). The AEs were scored according to the CTCAE v.

Efficacy of CDK 4/6 Inhibitors and Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) combined with endocrine therapy are the standard of care for HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients. However, their role in the treatment of brain metastases is currently unclear. We retrospectively evaluate the results of patients (pts) with advanced breast cancer treated at our institution with CDK4/6i and radiotherapy to the brain.
