In this report the efficacy of extracellular pharmaceutical Gd-DTPA in Binary Radiotherapy was studied. The study was carried out in mice bearing transplantable adenocarcinoma Ca755 using X-ray based contrast enhanced radiotherapy as a practical implementation of Binary Radiotherapy. It was shown that intravenous administration of 0.3 ml of 0.5 M water solution of Gd-DTPA followed by X-irradiation at a dose of 10 Gy provides T/C%=10±3% and leads to complete tumor regression in 25% of mice.

Purpose: To identify the subgroups and symptom networks associated with endocrine therapy in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design using convenience sampling to select patients from a tertiary hospital in China. A total of 406 patients were invited to complete demographic and clinical questionnaires and the Chinese Breast Cancer Prevention Trial Symptom Scale was used to assess their symptoms.

Objective: Influenced by their life stage and socio-cultural background, young and middle-aged cancer patients in China may experience unique psychological distress. Therefore, this study investigated the severity, problems, and associated factors of psychological distress among young and middle-aged cancer patients.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on young and middle-aged cancer patients aged 18-59 who were treated at a radiotherapy center from February 2022 to September 2023.

intra-arc binary collimation (iABC) is a novel treatment technique in which dynamic conformal arcs are periodically interrupted with binary collimation. It has demonstrated its utility through planning studies for the treatment of multiple metastases. However, the binary collimation approach is idealized in the planning system, while the treatment deliveries must adhere to the physical limitations of the mechanical systems involved [e.

Tumour bulk is an established prognostic factor in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) but most patients with limited-stage (LS) HL do not have 'bulk' by standard binary definitions. In the RAPID trial, maximum tumor diameter (MTD) was associated with risk of relapse for LS-HL patients achieving PET-negativity after ABVD chemotherapy. We aimed to externally validate these findings in the H10 trial.

Purpose: National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines recommend initiating postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) within 6 weeks of surgery for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but delays affect 50% of patients, disproportionately burden minoritized groups, and contribute to worse oncologic outcomes. This trial evaluates the efficacy of Navigation for Disparities and Untimely Radiation thErapy (NDURE), an enhanced navigation-based intervention, relative to usual care (UC) patient navigation for starting timely PORT.
Methods: Adults with locally advanced HNSCC planning to undergo surgery and PORT were randomly assigned 1:1 to standard multidisciplinary head and neck oncology care and either NDURE, a multilevel navigation-based intervention to enhance key processes of care and overcome barriers to timely PORT, or UC, which consisted of standard patient navigation.
