Purpose: The standard of care in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is concomitant chemoradiotherapy followed by high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). Although previous studies compared HDR-BT with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), there is scarce data regarding the dosimetric outcomes of stereotactic MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) boost in lieu of HDR-BT.
Methods And Materials: In this single-institutional in-silico comparative study, LACC patients who were definitively treated with external beam radiotherapy followed by HDR-BT were selected.

Objective: The aim of this study is to categorize the risk groups of patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) according to p16 and p53 status, smoking/alcohol consumption history, and other prognostic factors.
Study Design: The immunostaining of p16 and p53 of 290 patients was retrospectively evaluated. The history of smoking/alcohol consumption of each patient was noted.
The aim of this study was to compare perioperative and long-term oncological outcomes between laparoscopic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision in female patients (F-Lap-TME) and robotic sphincter-preserving total mesorectal excision in male patients (M-Rob-TME) with mid-low rectal cancer (RC). A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed. 170 cases (F-Lap-TME: 60 patients; M-Rob-TME: 110 patients) were performed by a single surgeon (January 2011-January 2020).

Methods: In a national, retrospective, multicenteric study, 563 patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy at 22 centers between 2015 and 2020 were analyzed.
Results: Median age was 48 (9-83), age distribution was bimodal, 74.
