Background: Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for early-stage lung cancer. However, the recurrence rate after surgery is unacceptably high, ranging from 30% to 50%. Despite extensive efforts, accurately predicting the likelihood and timing of recurrence remains a significant challenge.

Background: De-intensification of anti-cancer therapy without significantly affecting outcomes is an important goal. Omission of axillary surgery or breast radiation is considered a reasonable option in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer and good prognostic factors. Data on avoidance of both axillary surgery and radiation therapy (RT) is scarce and inconclusive.

Objectives: To address controversies regarding target volume delineation for adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma with pedicled flap reconstruction and elective nodal irradiation (ENI).

Materials And Methods: During target volume delineation, the primary tumor bed was the pre-surgical gross tumor volume with an additional isotropic margin of 5-10 mm. Additionally, the flap and body tissue junction were given a margin of 5-10 mm (if not already given).

From the Departments of Radiology (L.C.J., P.J.N., D.A., S.M.T., E.T., G.S., T.P., S.K.V., T.D.A.), Urology (A.M.P.), and Radiation Oncology (B.S.), Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905.

In patients with renal masses, when intervention is warranted, partial nephrectomy is preferred when feasible, especially for T1 renal masses. Thermal ablation, however, has become an accepted alternative treatment of small renal neoplasms with excellent oncologic outcomes. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines include thermal ablation as a treatment strategy for managing T1a and select T1b masses.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the prognostic impact of ground-glass opacity (GGO)-component in early-stage lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

Methods: From January 2013 to December 2022, 239 early-stage lung cancer patients (T1-2N0M0) underwent SBRT. They were categorized into two groups based on the presence of GGO-component: 65 patients in the subsolid group with a consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) between 0.
