Introduction: Primary Gastric Squamous Cell Carcinoma (GSCC), especially in late-stage, is a very rare pathological type with poor prognosis. We report a long duration of Complete Response (CR) of GSCC case with multiple metastases by an elaborate three-staged radical Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Case Presentation: A 36-year-old male suffered from weakness and melena, and then was diagnosed as primary GSCC with cT3N3M1, Stage IV.
Radiotherapy is one of the major approaches to cancer treatment. Artificial intelligence in radiotherapy (shortly, Intelligent radiotherapy) mainly involves big data, deep learning, extended reality, digital twin, radiomics, Internet plus and Internet of Things (IoT), which establish an automatic and intelligent network platform consisting of radiotherapy preparation, target volume delineation, treatment planning, radiation delivery, quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC), prognosis judgment and post-treatment follow-up. Intelligent radiotherapy is an interdisciplinary frontier discipline in infancy.

We want to investigate the value of variations of lymphocytes and T lymphocyte subsets in predicting RP after radiotherapy (RT) of lung cancer based on previous clinical findings. A total of 182 lung cancer patients who received RT were retrospectively analyzed.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of moderately hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) combined with temozolomide (TMZ) for the postoperative treatment of GBM.
Materials And Methods: From February 2012 to February 2018, 80 patients with newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed GBM in our institute were reviewed retrospectively.
