Two hypofractionated schedules for early stage breast cancer: Comparative retrospective analysis for acute and late radiation induced dermatitis.

Purpose: To compare two hypofractionated radiation schedules in early breast cancer concerning skin toxicity.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients (group A) versus 54 (group B) who underwent hypofractionated radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery. Group Α received 42.

A randomized study comparing two hypofractioned 3-D conformal radiotherapy for stage IIIb-IV non small cell lung cancer.

Purpose: We compared the safety and efficacy of two hypofractionated irradiation schedules for elderly and low performance status patients with inoperable symptomatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Patients that entered the study were either unfit or without response concerning chemotherapy. We randomized 14 patients (group A) vs 15 patients (group B) who underwent two different hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules.

From Whole-Brain Radiotherapy to Immunotherapy: A Multidisciplinary Approach for Patients with Brain Metastases from NSCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastases have a multitude of treatment options, but there is currently no international and multidisciplinary consensus concerning their optimal treatment. Local therapies have the principal role, especially in symptomatic patients. Advances in surgery and radiation therapy manage considerable local control.
