Background: Radicalization, violent extremism, and terrorism are risks to societal security. Although research on terrorism-related behaviors is increasing, thorough empirical studies are rare.
Methods: This study investigates radicalization processes and transitions in a matched sample of female and male terrorist suspects and convicts (N = 26) residing in Dutch penitentiary terrorism wings.
Background: Treatment recommendations for patients with limited nodal recurrences are lacking, and different locoregional treatment approaches are currently being used.
Objective: The aim of this trial is to compare metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) with or without elective nodal pelvic radiotherapy (ENRT).
Design, Setting, And Participants: PEACE V-Salvage Treatment of OligoRecurrent nodal prostate cancer Metastases (STORM) is an international, phase 2, open-label, randomized, superiority trial (ClinicalTrials.
Purpose: Aim of this study is to report the results of the radiotherapy quality assurance program of the PEACE V-STORM randomized phase II trial for pelvic nodal oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa).
Material And Methods: A benchmark case (BC) consisting of a postoperative case with 2 nodal recurrences was used for both stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT, 30 Gy/3 fx) and whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT, 45 Gy/25 fx + SIB boost to 65 Gy).
Results: BC of 24 centers were analyzed.
Optimal local treatment for nodal oligorecurrent prostate cancer is unknown. The randomized phase 2 PEACE V-STORM trial will explore the best treatment approach in this setting. Early results on the acute toxicity profile are projected to be published in quarter 3, 2021.

NF1 is associated with the loss of expression of neurofibromin 1 ( gene product). This hyperactivates the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, leading to cellular proliferation and survival.
