Mastering rectal cancer MRI: From foundational concepts to optimal staging.

Eur J Radiol

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic Rochester. 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA; Department of Radiology, University of Sao Paulo, R. Dr. Ovídio Pires de Campos, 75 - Cerqueira César, São Paulo, SP 05403-010, Brazil. Electronic address:

MRI plays a critical role in the local staging, restaging, surveillance, and risk stratification of patients, ensuring they receive the most tailored therapy. As such, radiologists must be familiar not only with the key MRI findings that influence management decisions but also with the appropriate MRI protocols and structured reporting. Given the complexity of selecting the optimal therapy for each patient-which often requires multidisciplinary discussions-radiologists should be well-versed in relevant treatment strategies and surgical terms, understanding their significance in guiding patient care.

Dosimetric comparison of CyberKnife and conventional linac prostate SBRT plans: analysis of the PACE-B Study.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys

January 2025

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London SM2 5PT, UK; Radiotherapy and Imaging Division, Institute of Cancer Research, London SM2 5NG, UK.

Purpose: In the PACE-B study, a non-randomised comparison of toxicity outcomes between stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) platforms revealed fewer urinary side-effects with CyberKnife (CK) compared to conventional linac (CL) SBRT. This analysis compares baseline characteristics and planning dosimetry between the CK-SBRT and CL-SBRT cohorts in PACE-B, aiming to provide insight into possible reasons for differing toxicity outcomes between the platforms.

Methods: Dosimetric parameters for the surrogate urethra (SU), contoured urethra, bladder, bladder trigone (BT), and rectum were extracted from available CT planning scans of PACE-B SBRT patients.
