Background: Standard radiotherapy (RT) for locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC) employs a uniform dose of approximately 60 Gy. Recent trials demonstrated that radiotherapy dose escalation may not improve outcomes and may cause added toxicity. XXX previously performed a single-arm trial testing a personalized, risk-adapted, and de-intensified RT strategy.

Introduction: Surgery is still the main line of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with a current trend for de-intensified treatment based on an excellent prognosis. The role of a routine prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) is still debated as its impact on oncologic outcomes has never been cleared by a randomized clinical trial. In this study, we aimed to report our long-standing experience in PCND and its potential contemporary role in the treatment of PTC.

Background: In 2021, the EAU Guidelines implemented a novel, expert opinion-based follow-up scheme, with a three-risk-category system for clear cell (cc) and non-cc renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) after surgery with curative intent. We aimed to validate the novel follow-up scheme and provide data-driven recurrence estimates according to risk groups, to confirm or implement the oncologic surveillance strategy.

Methods: We identified 5,320 patients from a prospectively maintained database involving 28 French referral centers.

Purpose: The optimal approach for partial breast irradiation (PBI) is unknown. We investigated a novel de-intensified 3-fraction PBI regimen for photons, protons, and brachytherapy.

Methods And Materials: A multicenter nonrandomized controlled trial with the primary outcome of adverse cosmesis at 3 years versus before PBI.

Background: Current standard treatment concepts in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are based on former studies using 2D and 3D treatment plans. However, modern radiation techniques allow for a more precise and individual dose application. Therefore, in a clearly defined patient population, de-intensified risk-adapted radiation is investigated.
