Background And Objective: For inoperable patients, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a noninvasive treatment approach for primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We aimed to evaluate local control (LC) of primary RCC treated with SBRT.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study involved 16 centers in Australia, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Background: Soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities (E-STS) are rare and heterogeneous. Treatment combines surgery with preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy (RT) for deep, large, or high-grade tumors. We evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity in E-STS patients treated at our institution from 2015 to 2021.

Study Design: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent hysterectomy for endometrial cancer followed by adjuvant brachytherapy of the vaginal dome between 2012 and 2015.
Background And Purpose: Extreme hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a therapeutic alternative for localized low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Despite the availability of several studies, the toxicity profile of SBRT has not been comprehensively described. This real-world evidence study assessed the efficacy and toxicities associated with this regimen, and potential prognosis factors for genitourinary toxicities.

We aimed to investigate the benefit of interstitial needles (IN) for a combined intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) approach using IGABT over the intracavitary approach (IC) alone in patients with LACC after concomitant external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and chemotherapy.
Materials And Methods: We included consecutive patients with LACC who were treated with IC/IS IGABT after radiochemotherapy (RCT) in our retrospective, observational study.
