Background: This study aims to assess the benefit of a deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) over the standard irradiation technique, and eventually to identify anatomical and/or treatment preplanning characteristics correlated with the LAD dose.
Methods: Patients with left-sided breast cancer undergoing whole breast radiotherapy with DIBH were analyzed. All patients included in the analysis had plans in DIBH and free-breathing (FB).
Article Synopsis
- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a tough type of cancer that hasn't seen much progress in research, even though the disease can change quickly.
- For almost two years, the best treatment for advanced SCLC has been a mix of special chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which helps patients live slightly longer than just chemotherapy.
- A meeting in Rome on November 10, 2022, brought together cancer experts to discuss how to best combine these treatments with radiotherapy for better patient care.
Objective: The therapeutic landscape for localized prostate cancer (PC) is evolving. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has been reported to be at least not inferior to standard radiotherapy, but the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in this setting is still unknown and its use is left to clinical judgment. There is therefore the need to clarify the role of ADT in association with SRT, which is the aim of the present study.

This study aims to evaluate early changes in cardiac function after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in LA-NSCLC by multimodal use of advanced imaging techniques.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective, observational cohort study.
Purpose: Assess multiparametric-MRI (mp-MRI) diagnostic accuracy in the detection of local recurrence of Prostate Cancer (PCa) after Radical Prostatectomy (PR) and before Radiation Therapy (RT).
Materials And Methods: A total of 188 patients underwent 1.5-T mp-MRI after RP before RT.
