Concomitant radiochemotherapy (RTCT) is the standard treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, in patients with a peripheral primary tumor, the irradiated volume may include a large portion of normal lung and RT-CT is not possible. This multicenter phase II trial in unresectable stage III NSCLC with peripheral primary tumor evaluated the feasibility of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in peripheral tumor after concomitant radio-chemotherapy (RT-CT).

We assessed outcomes of lung cancer patients with extracranial metastases in oligometastatic, oligorecurrent, oligopersistent and oligoprogressive settings ("oligometastatic spectrum") under strategies using SBRT +/- systemic treatments.
Methods: A retrospective multicentric study of consecutive lung cancer adult patients with 1-5 extracranial metastases treated with SBRT was conducted.
Introduction: Microinvasive in situ ductal carcinomas of the breast are rare and of good prognosis. They are grouped with early stage invasive carcinomas in the TNM 2017 classification. This study assessed practitioners' treatment decisions and their justifications in comparison to the literature.

Internal mammary chain (IMC) is more and more included in the clinical target volume, because it increases overall survival. This increase must be weighed against cardiac complications in left breast cancer.

NSCLC patients now receive nivolumab and irradiation, concurrently or not. However, little is known about the safety of this combination, even though the preclinical model suggested a possible synergic effect.
