In the present paper, the material of alkaline-earth metal sulphide doped with two kinds of rare-earth metal ions was prepared by carbon reduction method, and the radiation characteristics of optically stimulated luminescence of this material are described. The PMMA dosimeter films were taken intothe radiation source,then the fluorescence signal from the dosimeter films was measured with the test system build by ourselves. The relation between the radiation dose and the fluorescence intensity of the dosimeter films was obtained. The measuring range of the dosimeter was from 0.01 to 1,000 Gy (5 orders of magnitude), and there is a good linear relationship between stimulated luminescence signal value of the material and the dose. It demonstrates that this device has a good prospect. This equipment is relatively simple, small in size and low in power consumption. This device is suitable for measuring the space radiation dose exploration.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ, USA.

Purpose: To review recent advances with radiation therapy (RT) for soft tissue sarcomas (STS).

Recent Findings: Newer data showcases hypofractionated preoperative RT for soft tissue sarcomas treated with surgery to be safe and effective, however, long-term follow up data is pending. Hypofractionated and dose-escalated RT in patients with unresectable STS is also being studied, for which we remain optimistic given advances in RT planning approaches.

Levy Place, New York, NY 10029 (Y.Z., D.F.Y., C.I.H.); and Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China (Y.Z.).

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. In various trials, the ability of low-dose CT screening to diagnose early lung cancers leads to high cure rates. It is widely accepted that the potential benefits of low-dose CT screening for lung cancer outweigh the harms.

Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation (IR) to kill cancer cells. However, during radiotherapy normal cells are also damaged and killed by the generation of reactive oxygen species. Polyphenolic compounds are known to mitigate the damaging effects of radiation.

Background And Purpose: Bone metastasis is common for breast cancer and associated with poor prognosis. Currently, radiotherapy (RT) serves as the standard treatment for patients exhibiting symptoms of bone metastasis to alleviate pain. Whether earlier application of RT will better control bone metastasis remains unclear.

Highly hypofractionated biaxially rotational dynamic radiation therapy (BROAD-RT) for high-risk prostate cancer.

Cancer Sci

January 2025

Department of Radiation Oncology and Image-Applied Therapy, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

To report clinical outcomes following highly hypofractionated biaxially rotational dynamic radiation therapy (BROAD-RT), a unique radiation therapy method that facilitates non-coplanar volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) without the need to rotate the couch or reposition the patient, for high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) for intra-prostatic dominant lesions (IPDLs), we performed a single-center prospective pilot study. In this study, patients with high-risk PCa according to the D'Amico classification or those with cT3aN0M0 PCa were eligible. VMAT was performed using BROAD-RT, and a dose of 54 Gy in 15 fractions was prescribed for the prostate in combination with SIB for IPDLs at a dose of 57 Gy in 15 fractions.
