Comparing the Outcomes of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy and Non-Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy Definitive Radiotherapy Approaches to Thoracic Malignancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis KU Leuven
Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is popular because of the high rates of local control with low toxicity seen in lung cancer patients. In this study we compared clinically significant toxicity and overall survival for SABR and non-SABR definitive radiotherapy (conformal radiotherapy) patients. A PUBMED search of all human, English language articles on SABR and non-SABR radically treated early stage lung cancer patients was ...
Radiotherapy prioritization in 143 national cancer control plans : correlation with radiotherapy machine availability, geography and income level Universiteit Gent
Background: In 2015, the Global Task Force on Radiotherapy for Cancer Control (GTFRCC) called for 80% of National Cancer Control Plans (NCCP) to include radiotherapy by 2020. As part of the ongoing ESTRO Global Impact of Radiotherapy in Oncology (GIRO) project, we assessed whether inclusion of radiother-apy in NCCPs correlates with radiotherapy machine availability, national income, and geographic region.Methods: A previously validated checklist ...
Modern radiotherapy techniques versus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for head and neck cancer KU Leuven
© 2017 The Cochrane Collaboration. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of modern radiotherapy techniques (IMRT, VMAT, proton beam therapy and adaptive radiotherapy) compared to 3DCRT on disease control and toxicity in head and neck cancer patients.
Postoperative high-dose pelvic radiotherapy for N+ prostate cancer: toxicity and matched case comparison with postoperative prostate bed-only radiotherapy Universiteit Gent
Immunotherapy and Modern Radiotherapy Technique for Older Patients with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer: A Proposed Paradigm by the International Geriatric Radiotherapy Group Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The standard of care for locally advanced head and neck cancer is concurrent chemoradiation or postoperative irradiation with or without chemotherapy. Surgery may not be an option for older patients (70 years old or above) due to multiple co-morbidities and frailty. Additionally, the standard chemotherapy of cisplatin may not be ideal for those patients due to oto- and nephrotoxicity. Though carboplatin is a reasonable alternative for ...
