Recent advances in radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) and radioembolization (RE) will make these forms of therapy more prevalent in radiation oncology and nuclear medicine clinics. This article guides medical physicists in radiation oncology by summarizing current RPT and RE techniques, processes, safety, quality assurance, equipment, etc. The summarized guidance, which addresses technical considerations, may be applied broadly to develop a clinical RPT/RE program that offers multiple types of such therapies.

De-Escalation of Nodal Surgery in Clinically Node-Positive Breast Cancer.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Breast Unit, Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).
Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.
Transplant-Free Salvage Therapy for Low-Risk Relapsed Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Oncol
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Oncology, Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, Georgia.
Cost-Effectiveness of Breast Cancer Screening Using Digital Mammography in Canada.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Medical Oncology, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: Evolving breast cancer treatments have led to improved outcomes but carry a substantial financial burden. The association of treatment costs with the cost-effectiveness of screening mammography is unknown.
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of population-based breast cancer screening in the context of current treatment standards.
Cardiovascular Disease and Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston.
Importance: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the leading causes of mortality in the US. Large-scale population-based and mechanistic studies support a direct effect of CVD on accelerated tumor growth and spread, specifically in breast cancer.
Objective: To assess whether individuals presenting with advanced breast cancers are more likely to have prevalent CVD compared with those with early-stage breast cancers at the time of diagnosis.
Transplant and Nontransplant Salvage Therapy in Pediatric Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma: The EuroNet-PHL-R1 Phase 3 Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Oncol
January 2025
Department of Paediatric Haematology, Oncology and Immunodeficiency, University Hospital Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Giessen, Germany.
Importance: The current standard-of-care salvage therapy in relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) includes consolidation high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT)/autologous stem cell transplant (aSCT).
Objective: To investigate whether presalvage risk factors and fludeoxyglucose-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) response to reinduction chemotherapy can guide escalation or de-escalation between HDCT/aSCT or transplant-free consolidation with radiotherapy to minimize toxic effects while maintaining high cure rates.
Design, Setting, And Participants: EuroNet-PHL-R1 was a nonrandomized clinical trial that enrolled patients younger than 18 years with first relapsed/refractory cHL across 68 sites in 13 countries in Europe between January 2007 and January 2013.
