Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of death by cancer worldwide and has a high lethality. The best treatment for patients with localized disease is anatomical surgical resection, granting good average survival in the long term. We did not find Chilean studies focusing on complications, long term survival or potential association with pathological or clinical factors.

Background: Diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (HNSCCUP) remains a challenge. The aim of the present phase IV study was to assess adherence to the current Danish guidelines and evaluate the treatment outcome in HNSCCUP patients.

Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected data in the DAHANCA database from patients treated between 2014 and 2020 was evaluated.

Background: Cancer control outcomes of lung cancer are hypothesized to be affected by several confounding factors, including tumor heterogeneity and patient history, which have been hypothesized to mitigate the dose delivery effectiveness when treated with radiation therapy. Providing an accurate predictive model to identify patients at risk would enable tailored follow-up strategies during treatment.

Purpose: Our goal is to demonstrate the added prognostic value of including tumor displacement amplitude in a predictive model that combines clinical features and computed tomography (CT) radiomics for 2-year recurrence and survival in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with curative-intent stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks the sixth most common malignancy but the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Significant breakthroughs have been made in systemic treatment for HCC over the past two decades, which have improved treatment outcomes. In addition to multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors (mTKIs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and antiangiogenic drugs are increasingly being applied.

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.
