We present a case of a patient having cone-beam CT (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) on Ethos Therapy after oesophagectomy and gastric pull-up. This case report aims to demonstrate that daily oART is a viable treatment option for post-oesophagectomy patients. The patient's radiotherapy plan was generated on the Ethos system using an eight-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plan imported from the Eclipse planning system.

Lymphadenectomy plays a crucial role in the surgical management of early- stage esophageal cancer. However, few studies have examined lymphadenectomy outcomes in advanced stages, particularly in patients who initially underwent concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This retrospective study investigates the effect of lymphadenectomy in patients diagnosed with AJCC 8th-edition clinical stage III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received concurrent preoperative chemoradiation.

Aim: Older patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers (LA-HNC) are under-represented in clinical trials and denied standard treatment with concurrent chemo-radiation. Most are treated with radiotherapy (RT) alone. However, with the use of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and good supportive care, even this cohort of patients can be considered for chemo-radiation.

Introduction Chemoradiation (CRT) is the standard of care for the treatment of carcinoma cervix, more benefits of CRT are seen in the early stage as compared to a locally advanced stage. Altered fractionation such as accelerated radiotherapy (ART) in locally advanced carcinoma cervix has not been explored much. Here, we have reported the long-term outcome of ART in comparison to conventional CRT in locally advanced cervical cancer patients.
