Background: Radiotherapy is essential for treating head and neck cancer but often leads to severe toxicity. Traditional predictors include anatomical location, tumor extent, and dosimetric data. Recently, biomarkers have been explored to better predict and understand toxicity.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed 156 patients, finding that the majority were male (62%), with a median age of 64 years. The most common types of cancer were squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and malignant melanoma.
  • * The results showed generally low morbidity post-surgery, but patients undergoing radiation therapy experienced more acute side effects like dermatitis and mucositis. Several factors, including cancer type and skull base involvement, negatively impacted overall and recurrence-free survival rates.

Background And Purpose: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of brain metastases (BM) and resection cavities is a widely used and effective treatment modality. Based on target lesion size and anatomical location, single fraction SRS (SF-SRS) or multiple fraction SRS (MF-SRS) are applied. Current clinical recommendations conditionally recommend either reduced dose SF-SRS or MF-SRS for medium-sized BM (2-2.

Background: 2-hydroxy-glutarate (2HG) is a metabolite that accumulates in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutated gliomas and can be detected noninvasively using MR spectroscopy. However, due to the low concentration of 2HG, established magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) techniques at the low field have limitations with respect to signal-to-noise and to the spatial resolution that can be obtained within clinically acceptable measurement times. Recently a tailored editing method for 2HG detection at 7 Tesla (7 T) named SLOW-EPSI was developed.

Background: Surgery and radiotherapy are well-established standards of care for unilateral stage 0 and I early-stage glottic cancer (ESGC). Based on comparative studies and meta-analyses, functional and oncological outcomes after both treatment modalities are similar. Historically, radiotherapy (RT) has been performed by irradiation of the whole larynx.
