First Application of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy for Recurrent Clival Chordoma with Brainstem Abutment
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(25)00024-7/fulltext?rss=yes

This case report presents a patient with recurrent clival chordoma who had previously undergone three endonasal endoscopic surgeries, one session of photon therapy, and one session of proton therapy. However, due to the recurrence of the tumor affecting the brainstem, a location challenging for both particle and photon therapies, the patient underwent Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Following two sessions of BNCT, the tumor nearly completely disappeared, and the patient experienced no adverse effects.

Boswellia serrata for the Management of Radiation-Induced Cerebral Edema and Necrosis: A Systematic Meta-Narrative Review of Clinical Evidence
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(25)00020-X/fulltext?rss=yes

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) yields excellent local control in patients with a limited number of brain metastases (BMs), but radiation-induced cerebral edema and radiation necrosis (RN) in particular pose as a dose-limiting late toxicity, with the same holding true after fractionated radiotherapy for glioma. In symptomatic patients, the first-line standard of care includes corticosteroids, which may, however, be counterproductive in the evolving era of immunotherapy. Boswellic acid (BA), available as an over-the-counter dietary supplement, has been suggested as a potential corticosteroid-sparing alternative due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects.

Accurate radiotherapy for lung cancer is challenging due to respiratory motion of the tumor and surrounding organs-at-risk. Recently, non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) has been investigated as novel respiratory motion management strategy. Using NIMV, respiratory motion can be minimized while a larger lung volume yields less overall lung dose. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential benefit of NIMV to improve lung cancer radiotherapy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of healthy volunteers.

The immunosuppressive function of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) has been implicated in the regulation of immune responses against cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. Radiation treatment is known to alter immune cell populations within the tumor, however, whether this results in recruitment of immunosuppressive MDSC populations is not well understood. Here we evaluate the response of circulating MDSC populations in patients treated per standard of care cisplatin chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for locally invasive cervical cancer.

Raising the Bar for Assessing Nutritional Risk Among Patients with Cancer
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(24)00208-2/fulltext?rss=yes

Nutrition is an important component of health, particularly for patients with cancer. Unfortunately, nutritional derangements are prevalent in the oncology population. Weight loss due to disease states and certain anticancer treatments is common, and changes in body composition due to weight loss can elevate metabolic risks.1 Malnutrition can result in systemic inflammation, low skeletal muscle area, and high visceral-to-total fat states, leading to elevations in proinflammatory cytokines and lower levels of inhibitory cytokines.

Concomitant brain metastases and infectious abscesses is a rare and challenging clinical situation to diagnose and treat, especially given that pathologic evaluation of brain lesions in patients with a history of cancer is often not obtained. In this Teaching Case, we describe our experience managing a patient with de novo metastatic non-small cell lung cancer to the brain. After initial radiotherapy to the brain metastases, the patient developed additional brain lesions, which after multidisciplinary review were presumed to be new metastases based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and treated with radiotherapy.

Case Report of a Woman with Anastrozole-Associated Radiation Recall

Radiation recall, an acute reaction localized to previously irradiated areas, can manifest when chemotherapy agents are administered following radiotherapy. Despite being a poorly understood phenomenon, heightened awareness may facilitate early diagnosis and proper management. A diverse range of drugs used in the treatment of cancer has been associated with radiation recall. As most data come from case reports, it is difficult to estimate the true incidence. Radiation recall is inherently drug-specific for each patient, making it challenging to predict individual reactions to specific drugs.

Optimal setup and parameters of diffusion-weighted MRI for translational evaluation of a tumor progression model for soft tissue sarcomas
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(24)00224-0/fulltext?rss=yes

Defining a microscopic tumor infiltration boundary is critical to the success of radiation therapy. Currently, radiation oncologists use margins to geometrically expand the visible tumor for radiation treatment planning in soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Image-based models of tumor progression would be critical to personalize treatment radiation field to the pattern of sarcoma spread. Evaluation of these models is necessary to demonstrate feasibility in the clinical setting. This study presents an imaging protocol for the preclinical evaluation of a tumor progression model in extremity STS.

Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) is an investigational therapy to induce lung volume increase and development and improves the survival in patients with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Elective balloon removal 4–7 weeks after placement reduces the development of surfactant deficiency, risk of preterm delivery, and potential need for emergent removal during delivery or on placental bypass. Failure to deflate and retrieve the balloon can result in iatrogenic neonatal death.

Despite its high cost-effectiveness, radiation oncology faces the greatest prior authorization (PA) burden of any medical specialty. Insurance denials and resulting treatment delays have been documented across several treatment modalities, including stereotactic body radiation, intensity-modulated radiation, and proton therapy. While insurance companies suggest that PA is intended to control healthcare spending and ensure the implementation of evidence-based practice, the number of radiation treatment plans reviewed by the PA process that result in changes is quite low.

Cone-beam computed tomography-based online adaptive radiotherapy of esophageal cancer: first clinical experience and dosimetric benefits
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(24)00219-7/fulltext?rss=yes

Radiotherapy (RT) plays a key role in the management of esophageal cancer (EC). However, toxicities due to proximity of organs at risk (OAR) and daily target coverage caused by interfractional anatomical changes are of concern. Daily online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) addresses these concerns and has the potential to increase OAR sparing and improve target coverage. We present the first clinical experience and dosimetric investigations of CBCT-based oART in EC using the ETHOS platform.Methods: Treatment fractions of the first 10 EC patients undergoing CBCT-based oART at our institution were retrospectively analyzed.
