Purpose: Motion management presents a significant challenge in thoracic stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). Currently, a 5.0 mm standard planning target volume (PTV) margin is widely used to ensure adequate dose to the tumor.

Introduction: Treatment of neoplasic lung nodules with ground glass opacities (GGO) faces two primary challenges. First, the standard practice of treating GGOs as solid nodules, which effectively controls the tumor locally, but might increase associated toxicities. The second is the potential for dose calculation errors related to increased heterogeneity.

Background: Among patients with structural heart disease with ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to medical therapy and catheter ablation, cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a paradigm-changing treatment option.
Aims: To assess the efficacy of cardiac SBRT in refractory VT by comparing the rates of VT episodes, anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapies, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks post-SBRT with pre-SBRT.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature search and included all clinical studies reporting outcomes on cardiac SBRT for VT.

PULSAR (personalized, ultra-fractionated stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy) is the adaptation of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy towards personalized cancer management. It has potential to harness the synergy between radiation therapy and immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors to amplify the anti-tumor immune response. For the first time, we applied a transformer-based attention mechanism to investigate the underlying interactions between combined PULSAR and PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy, based on the preliminary experimental results of a murine cancer model (Lewis Lung Carcinoma, LLC).

Purpose: To conduct an international survey of radiation oncologists treating primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with SABR to ascertain the general patterns of SABR use, common dose/treatment/follow-up details, and expected outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A 51-question survey was created containing the following themes: prevalence and clinical scenarios in which RCC SABR is used, dose-fractionation schedules, treatment delivery details, follow-up/outcome assessments, and implementation barriers. The survey was distributed widely across multiple influential radiation oncology societies and social media, and ran from January to April 2023.
