Vaginal Toxicity Management in Patients with Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer following Exclusive Chemoradiation—A Nationwide Survey on Knowledge and Attitudes by the Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology (AIRO) Gynecology Study Group Open
Background and Objective: Exclusive radiotherapy, including external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and interventional radiotherapy/brachytherapy (IRT/BT), with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy, represents the standard of care in patients…

Stereotactic radiotherapy for lung oligometastases Open
30-60% of cancer patients develop lung metastases, mostly from primary tumors in the colon-rectum, lung, head and neck area, breast and kidney. Nowadays, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT ) is considered the ideal modality for treating pulmon…

Reliability of algebraic sum to evaluate adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy and vaginal cuff brachytherapy cumulative doses in uterine cancers Open
In uterine cancer patients submitted to APR and vaginal cuff BT, algebraic sum and rigid plan fusion of doses allowed to obtain similar results in evaluating cumulative OARs' doses. Further investigations and increased number of patients a…

933 A large, multicenter, retrospective study on efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy in oligometastatic cervical cancer (MITO-RT2/RAD) Open
Introduction/Background* Data supporting stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligometastatic gynecological cancer patients are increasing, but stereotactic treatments have not yet been fully explored. The aim of this retrospective, m…

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Contralateral Kidney Oligometastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Nephrectomized Patient Open
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) frequently metastasizes to distal organs such as the lungs, abdomen, bones, and brain. Although rare cases of adrenal gland metastasis from RCC have been described, to our knowledge, no cases have rep…

Dataset related to article "Re-irradiation for recurrent glioma: outcome evaluation, toxicity and prognostic factors assessment. A multicenter study of the Radiation Oncology Italian Association (AIRO)" Open
INTRODUCTION: The prognosis of glioma is dismal, and almost all patients relapsed. At recurrence time, several treatment options are considered, but to date there is no a standard of care. The Neurooncology Study Group of the Italian Assoc…

A prospective phase II trial on reirradiation of brain metastases with radiosurgery Open
Analysis of our current trial compared with results of our previous data suggests that a tighter patient selection (KPS ≥ 70; NFS 0-1, BM with ≤20 mm of diameter) and SRS dose ≤20 Gy allowed a high OS rate, a good percentage of CR and PR w…

Definitive three-dimensional high-dose-rate brachytherapy for inoperable endometrial cancer Open
Although some limitations of our analysis (relatively few number of patients recruited, retrospective evaluation, and consequent suboptimal patient selection), it confirms effectiveness and safety of definitive HDR-BT for medically inopera…
