Purpose: Two randomized clinical trials (STOMP and ORIOLE) demonstrated that stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) can prolong ADT-free survival or progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metachronous oligometastatic prostate cancer (omCSPC) patients. While most omCSPC patients have a more modest delay in progression, a small subset achieves a durable response following SABR. We investigated the prognostic and predictive value of circulating PSMA-positive extracellular vesicles (PSMA+EV) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a biomarker correlative study using blood samples from three independent patient cohorts.

Purpose: Our objective was to identify the dosimetric parameters and prostate volume that most accurately predict the incidence of acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity in prostate cancer stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) treatments.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 122 patients who received SABR for prostate cancer at our clinic between March 2018 and September 2022 using a five-fraction SABR regimen. The existing plans of these patients were re-evaluated according to our institutional protocols (Hacettepe University [HU-1] and HU-2) as well as PACE‑B, RTOG 0938, and NRG GU005 dose-volume constraints.

Background: Impulsive aggression is the core symptom of intermittent explosive disorder, which can be a feature of several psychiatric disorders. There is a subset of individuals who do not respond adequately to medical treatment; they are treatment refractory. The objective of this report is to describe a case of a patient with a background of schizophrenia and concomitant refractory aggressiveness disorder, treated with two-stage bilateral hypothalamotomy and unilateral amygdalotomy with Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR).

The standard of care for early-stage NSCLC has historically been surgical resection. Given the association of lung cancer with smoking, a large number of early-stage patients also have active smoking-related medical comorbidities such as COPD precluding surgery. The current approach for treating such inoperable patients is frequently considered to be stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
