Hypofractionated vs Conventionally Fractionated Postmastectomy Radiation After Implant-Based Reconstruction Open
Importance Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) improves local-regional disease control and patient survival. Hypofractionation (HF) regimens have comparable efficacy and complication rates with improved quality of life compared with co…

A critical appraisal of the four systematic reviews and meta-analysis on stereotactic body radiation therapy versus external beam radiotherapy for painful bone metastases and where we go from here Open
Radiotherapy is an important treatment modality for pain control in patients with bone metastases. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which allows delivering a much higher dose per fraction while sparing critical structures compar…

SP08. Quantifying Radiation at the Site of Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction Open
PURPOSE: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and regional nodal irradiation (RNI) both contribute to lymphedema risk in breast cancer patients. Immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) reduces the incidence of lymphedema in patients unde…

Appropriateness of the 30-day expected mortality metric in palliative radiation treatment: a narrative review Open
Single-fraction palliative RT should be offered to eligible patients if they are able to attend treatment and could potentially benefit from symptom palliation, irrespective of predicted life expectancy. We discourage the routine use of th…

Analysis of Axillary Management Following Mastectomy With a Positive Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Open
BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) with or without postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) was traditionally the standard of care for patients with a positive sentinel node following mastectomy. However, recent clinical tria…

The real difficulty in improving concordance of clinical practice with guidelines. Open
The degree to which patient care is concordant with guidelines is widely used to assess the quality of health care. Compliance with guidelines is very high for certain cancers and procedures but not for others. For example, patients with s…
