Where are we with fractionation schedules and prescriptions in high-dose-rate 3D planning vaginal cuff brachytherapy?

Purpose: Currently, there are many schedules for exclusive vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VCB). In 3D treatment planning for VCB dosimetry, parameters have not been analyzed. The aim of this study was to compare the most common schedules using dose-volume histogram metrics.

Reirradiation Practice in Gynecological Cancer: Insights from a National Survey in Spain.

Purpose: Given the lack of standardisation in gynecological cancer reirradiation, the Gyneacologial Radiation Oncology (GINECOR) working group on behalf of the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR), works towards to inquire the current state of reirradiation practices among the radiation oncology departments in Spain.

Methods: An online 37-question survey was sent to all GINECOR members, representing most Spanish centers. The survey addressed general aspects of reirradiation, including experience, reirradiation sites, and techniques used.

A novel proxy for energy flux in multi-era wildfire reconstruction.

Escalations in wildfire activity are of significant global concern, particularly within vulnerable wetland ecosystems integral to natural carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Our understanding and management of future wildfire activity may be better contextualised through the study of historic and ancient fire records, independent of human influence. Methods of study include 'geothermometry' - approximating ancient fire intensity from temperature-dependent changes in the chemistry of fossil charcoal.
