Lower fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography maximum standardized uptake value may show a better response to stereotactic body radiotherapy of adrenals in oligometastatic disease.

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is well established for oligometastatic disease, and it is increasingly used to treat adrenal metastases.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective study we performed an analysis of 75 metastatic adrenal lesions in 64 patients with oligometastatic disease. According to the fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of adrenal metastases, patients were categorized into three groups: low, intermediate, and high SUVmax.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the treatment of locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer: implementation and outcomes in a New Zealand community hospital.

Introduction: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has become the standard of care for squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNSCC). This report presents early outcomes of IMRT with concomitant chemotherapy in a community setting in New Zealand.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with stage III and IV advanced HNSCC received definitive treatment with IMRT.
