Stereotactic body radiation therapy in primary liver tumor: Local control, outcomes and toxicities.

Objective: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a therapeutic option in the guidelines for liver primaries after standard strategies like surgery or thermoablation have failed. To assess its efficacy and safety, we reviewed all patients treated by SBRT for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over a six-year period.

Methods And Materials: The study included all patients treated by SBRT for HCC between April 2015 and November 2021 in the University Cancer Institute at Toulouse-Oncopole.

Use of social media in radiation oncology: multicenter data from the GOCO Group.

Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the usage patterns and profiles of social media (SM) platforms among Radiation Oncologists (RO) and Physicists in the scope of the Catalan-Occitan Oncology Group (GOCO).

Materials And Methods: From November 2022 to March 2023, a comprehensive survey was sent to Radiation Oncology professionals within the GOCO group, comprising 31 questions that covered demographics (4) and general inquiries (9), user behavior on social media (7), profile of SM activity (7), and participants' opinions (4) regarding professional use of SM. The survey reached professionals from 12 centers, encompassing 10 in Catalonia and 2 in French Occitania.
