Efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy and response prediction using artificial intelligence in oligometastatic gynaecologic cancer.

Purpose: We present a large real-world multicentric dataset of ovarian, uterine and cervical oligometastatic lesions treated with SBRT exploring efficacy and clinical outcomes. In addition, an exploratory machine learning analysis was performed.

Methods: A pooled analysis of gynecological oligometastases in terms of efficacy and clinical outcomes as well an exploratory machine learning model to predict the CR to SBRT were carried out.

PERSIAN trial (NCT05717660): an ongoing randomized trial testing androgen deprivation therapy, apalutamide and stereotactic body radiotherapy. An alternative "triplet" for oligometastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer patients.

Earlier treatment intensification with systemic potent androgen receptor inhibition has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Nonetheless, oligometastatic patients may benefit from local treatment approaches such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Aiming to explore the benefit of SBRT in this scenario, we designed this trial to specifically test the hypothesis that SBRT will improve clinical outcomes in select population affected by metachronous oligometastatic HSPC treated with androgen deprivation therapy + apalutamide.

Machine-learning prediction of treatment response to stereotactic body radiation therapy in oligometastatic gynecological cancer: A multi-institutional study.

Background And Purpose: We aimed to develop and validate different machine-learning (ML) prediction models for the complete response of oligometastatic gynecological cancer after SBRT.

Material And Methods: One hundred fifty-seven patients with 272 lesions from 14 different institutions and treated with SBRT with radical intent were included. Thirteen datasets including 222 lesions were combined for model training and internal validation purposes, with an 80:20 ratio.

Quality of life after definitive treatment for bladder cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Radical cystectomy (RC) is considered the standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, RC is often burdened by significant impact on quality of life (QoL); Continence preserving methods (e.g.
