A Prospective Study Assessing the Efficacy and Toxicity of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Oligometastatic Bone Metastases Open
Our study supports existing literature in showing that SBRT is effective and tolerable in patients with oligometastatic bone disease. Larger phase III trials are necessary and reasonable to determine long-term efficacy and toxicities.

RADT-24. A PROSPECTIVE TRIAL EVALUATING THE EFFICACY OF REIRRADIATION TO BONY METASTASES WITH STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY Open
INTRODUCTION Bone metastasis is common in advanced-stage cancer patients. While reirradiation of metastatic tumors offers significant symptom control, major limits exist on the possible dose delivered to previously irradiated disease sites…

Evaluating hematologic parameters in newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma: Prognostic utility and clinical trial implications of myelosuppression Open
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) patients are treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and corticosteroids, which can cause myelosuppression. To understand the relative prognostic utility of blood-based biomarkers in GBM and its implicat…

Phase I study of a novel glioblastoma radiation therapy schedule exploiting cell-state plasticity Open
Background Glioblastomas comprise heterogeneous cell populations with dynamic, bidirectional plasticity between treatment-resistant stem-like and treatment-sensitive differentiated states, with treatment influencing this process. However, …

RTHP-39. SPINAL CORD DELINEATION BASED ON CT MYELOGRAM VERSUS T2 MRI IN SPINE SBRT CASES Open
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Spinal cord (SC) delineation is critical in spine SBRT. While underestimating cord can lead to myelitis, overestimating SC may compromise PTV coverage, resulting in higher rates of tumor recurrence. CT myelogram as par…

Variables altering the impact of respiratory gated CT simulation on planning target volume in radiotherapy for lung cancer Open
The use of 4D-simulation reduces the PTV for the primary tumor in lung cancer cases. Further studies with larger samples are required to confirm the benefit of 4D-simulation in decreasing PTV in lung cancer.
