Introduction: At present, clinical factors and hematological indicators have been proved to have great potential in predicting the prognosis of cancer patients, and no one has combined these two valuable indicators to establish a prognostic model for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with stage T1-3N0M0 after R0 resection. To verify, we aimed to combine these potential indicators to establish a prognostic model.
Methods: Stage T1-3N0M0 ESCC patients from two cancer centers (including training cohort: N = 819, and an external validation cohort: N = 177)-who had undergone esophagectomy in 1995-2015 were included. We integrated significant risk factors for death events by multivariable logistic regression methods and applied them to the training cohort to build Esorisk. The parsimonious aggregate Esorisk score was calculated for each patient; the training set was divided into three prognostic risk classes according to the 33rd and 66th percentiles of the Esorisk score. The association of Esorisk with cancer-specific survival (CSS) was assessed using Cox regression analyses.
Results: The Esorisk model was: [10 + 0.023 × age + 0.517 × drinking history - 0.012 × hemoglobin-0.042 × albumin - 0.032 × lymph nodes]. Patients were grouped into three classes-Class A (5.14-7.26, low risk), Class B (7.27-7.70, middle risk), and Class C (7.71-9.29, high risk). In the training group, five-year CSS decreased across the categories (A: 63%; B: 52%; C: 30%, Log-rank P < 0.001). Similar findings were observed in the validation group. Additionally, Cox regression analysis showed that Esorisk aggregate score remained significantly associated with CSS in the training cohort and validation cohort after adjusting for other confounders.
Conclusions: We combined the data of two large clinical centers, and comprehensively considered their valuable clinical factors and hematological indicators, established and verified a new prognostic risk classification that can predict CSS of stage T1-3N0M0 ESCC patients.

Purpose: To evaluate treatment outcomes and toxicity in patients with stage T1-3N0M0 oral cancer treated with surgery followed by high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT).
Methods And Materials: Retrospective study of 50 patients with stage T1-T3N0 tongue and floor-of-mouth cancer who underwent tumour excision (+ elective neck dissection) followed by postoperative HDR-BT due to the presence of negative prognostic factors (close or positive resection margins, lymphovascular and/or perineural invasion, deep invasion). The plastic tube technique (dose: 18 x 3 Gy b.

This study is to analyse the failure patterns and long-term survival after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with T1-3N0M0 inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Early-stage NSCLC patitents who received SBRT at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 2012 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint were the patterns of disease progression, which were divided into local recurrence, regional failure, and distant metastasis.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in elderly patients aged 65 or older with clinical stage I-II non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically examining the differences between centrally located lung tumors and peripherally located lung tumors.
Methods: From April 2009 to January 2020, a total of 136 patients with 136 tumors (65 central, 71 peripheral; NSCLC) at an early stage (T1-3N0M0) were treated with SBRT at a single institution. Central/peripheral location was assessed retrospectively on planning CT scans.

Background: The aim of the study was to dosimetrically compare interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) and modern external beam radiotherapy modalities, as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and stereotactic radiotherapy with Cyberknife (CK) of tumours of the tongue and floor of the mouth in terms of dose to the critical organs.
Patients And Methods: In National Institute of Oncology, Budapest, between March 2013 and August 2022 twenty patients (11 male/9 female) with stage T1-3N0M0 tongue (n = 14) and floor of mouth (n = 6) tumours received postoperative radiotherapy because of close/positive surgical margin and/or lymphovascular and/or perineural invasion. High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy applying flexible plastic catheters with a total dose of 15 × 3 Gy was used for treatment.

Background: Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) are generally indolent; however, some patients present with "malignant" SPN. An orthogonal analysis of multiple datasets was performed to investigate the utility of complete surgical resection (CSR) for malignant SPN.
Methods: A systematic review was performed for cases of malignant SPN, defined as T4, N1, and/or M1.
