The trends in lung cancer prevalence, incidence, and survival in Hong Kong over the past two decades (2002-2021): a population-based study.

Background: Over the past decades, significant progress in lung cancer management has been made. However, the trends in prevalence and survival of lung cancer in the Chinese population over the last decade remain unexplored. This study utilised a territory-wide electronic medical database in Hong Kong to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of the trends in prevalence, incidence, and survival over the past two decades.

Dose volume effects of re-irradiation for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: This study analyzed the dose volume effects of re-irradiation for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and attempts to determine the optimal dose for the best survival.

Methods: Ninety-one patients were studied. The local control, fatal complication, and overall survival were analyzed against the dose (in Equivalent Dose at 2 Gy/fractions) and recurrent gross tumor volume (GTV).

Better survival after stereotactic body radiation therapy following transarterial chemoembolization in nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score matched analysis.

Background: This study compared outcomes of nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) vs. stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) after TACE (TACE + SBRT).

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 2 centers in Hong Kong.
