Article Synopsis
- - Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a key method for treating lung tumors but faces challenges like anatomical changes during treatment; magnetic resonance-guided online adaptive SBRT (MRgSBRT) offers a solution for improving safety and outcomes.
- - A study analyzed 64 patients with lung tumors treated using MRgSBRT, showing high local progression-free survival rates of 96.3% at one year and 86.4% at three years, with no local recurrences in patients receiving higher doses.
- - The results support MRgSBRT's effectiveness in treating lung lesions without significant toxicity, indicating the need for further prospective studies to validate these findings.
Optimizing the Personalized Care for the Management of Rectal Cancer: A Consensus Statement.
Turk J Gastroenterol
August 2022
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Turkey. The current guidelines do not provide sufficient information to cover all aspects of the management of rectal cancer. Although treatment has been standardized in terms of the basic principles of neoadjuvant, surgical, and adjuvant therapy, uncertainties in the management of rectal cancer may lead to significant differences in clinical practice.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients underwent simulation with magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) scans prior to RT (MR_initial, CT_initial) and boost treatment (MR_adapt, CT_adapt). For the boost phase, MR_initial and MR_adapt images were used to delineate GTV2 and GTV2_adapt, respectively.
