Radiotherapy for non-tumoral disorders has a long history. Lack of high-level evidence, therapeutic alternatives and fear of side effects (particularly radiation-induced cancer) reduced some indications to a trickle during the second half of the 20th century. Others were logically abandoned. There are two exceptions to this trend. On the one hand, some Central European countries (Germany in particular) still use radiotherapy regularly for diseases such as osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, chronic tendinopathies, Dupuytren's disease, etc. On the other hand, the development of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy has opened up new indications, whether cerebral (arteriovenous malformations, trigeminal neuralgia, obsessive-compulsive disorders) or cardiac (ventricular tachycardia). In this article, we present a non-exhaustive list of some indications (or rather possibilities) for radiotherapy in non-tumoral disorders in 2024.

: The prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is mainly based on the clinical stage; however, CRC is considered a complex disease due to its molecular heterogeneity. The development of novel biomarkers to improve patients' diagnosis and prognosis remains fundamental. : A cohort of forty-nine CRC patients from the National Cancer Institute of Mexico was included to collect clinical and miRNA expression data.

Background & Aims: There are lots of risk factors reported for cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) development, however, the relationship between hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and PVT development remains unclear.
Methods: The clinical outcomes of cirrhotic patients who had no PVT and underwent HVPG measurement at baseline between March 2018 and March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Screening for non-tumoral PVT development was implemented by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging every 6-12 months.

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system contains a set of genes involved at many levels in the innate and adaptive immune response. Among the non-classical HLA class I genes, HLA-G stands out for the numerous studies about its pivotal role in regulating/modulating immune responses. Also, its involvement in extravillous cytotrophoblast function, viral infections, autoimmunity, and cancer has been extensively documented.

Despite considerable efforts, GB continues to exhibit a dismal 5-year survival rate (∼6%). This is largely attributed to unfavorable prognosis and lack of viable treatment options.

Background & Aims: The homeostasis of the cellular transcriptome depends on transcription and splicing mechanisms. Moreover, the fidelity of gene expression, essential to preserve cellular identity and function is secured by different quality control mechanisms including nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD). In this context, alternative splicing is coupled to NMD, and several alterations in these mechanisms leading to the accumulation of aberrant gene isoforms are known to be involved in human disease including cancer.
