Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of antiperspirant/deodorant on acute radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The results showed that the use of antiperspirant/deodorant did not significantly affect the incidence of acute radiation dermatitis, pruritus, and pain. Therefore, there is currently no evidence to support the recommendation against antiperspirant/deodorant use during radiotherapy.

Summary: This study reviewed the clinical outcomes of adjuvant proton beam therapy for early breast cancer. The results showed that scanning proton beam therapy had milder adverse events compared to scattering proton beam therapy, and the occurrence of adverse events varied by clinical target.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the microvascular changes in tissue oxygenation in breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) using near-infrared spectroscopic imaging and correlate these changes to the grading of radiation dermatitis (RD). The results showed significant decreases in oxygen saturation in the irradiated regions during RT, which were negatively correlated with RD grading. Differences in pre-RT tissue oxygenation between the irradiated and contralateral regions could potentially predict the severity of RD.

Summary: The study investigated the association between chemotherapy before whole breast irradiation (WBI) and toxic effects or cosmetic outcome. Chemotherapy before conventional WBI (CWBI) was associated with increased moist desquamation, while chemotherapy before hypofractionated WBI (HWBI) was not associated with higher rates of any toxic effects. Patients receiving chemotherapy prior to either CWBI or HWBI had comparable rates of acute breast pain and impaired cosmetic outcome at 1 year. These findings support the use of HWBI after chemotherapy.

Summary: The concurrent application of sorafenib and external beam radiation therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma may be a feasible option, especially for targeting metastatic lesions or vessel involvement. Clinical outcomes of concurrent treatment appear to be more beneficial than non-concurrent treatment, highlighting the importance of careful consideration when targeting intrahepatic lesions.

Summary: Skin reaction is a common toxicity during oncology management, especially in radiotherapy. The prevalence of erythema and fibrosis varied over time, with erythema decreasing to 2% at 60 months and fibrosis remaining stable at around 19%. Factors such as obesity, surgery type, and tumor phenotype were associated with the onset of skin toxicities.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association between breast cancer, breast cancer-directed radiation therapy (RT), and the risk of hypothyroidism in breast cancer survivors. The results showed that breast cancer and RT to the supraclavicular lymph nodes are associated with an increased risk of hypothyroidism.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to objectively assess radiodermatitis severity in patients receiving whole-breast radiotherapy by analyzing skin images with various color space models. The results showed that the R value of the RGB model and the S and V values of the HSV model performed relatively well in evaluating acute radiation dermatitis and were correlated with dose. These color space parameters could serve as useful tools to assess radiodermatitis severity.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a novel machine learning tool for predicting radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients. By using data encapsulation screening and multi-region dose-gradient-based radiomics techniques, combined with clinical and dosimetric information, our model can accurately predict the occurrence of radiation-induced dermatitis before radiation therapy.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to review data on breast cancer and radiation-induced skin reactions in patients with skin of color, and objective measurements of skin pigmentation in the assessment of radiation dermatitis. The results showed worse radiation dermatitis outcomes in African American patients, although there are inconsistent findings across studies. There is currently a lack of prospective and randomized studies that objectively describe pigmentation changes in skin of color.

Summary: This review assessed the quality and efficacy of tools used in scoring radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients and found that tools assessing clinician-reported outcomes had moderate correlation with biophysical parameter measurements, but low correlation with patient-reported outcomes. Most commonly used tools were found to be either insufficient or indeterminate in their measurement properties.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the overall efficacy of StrataXRT in preventing acute radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Based on the analysis of three randomized controlled trials, it was found that StrataXRT can effectively prevent acute radiation dermatitis without raising additional safety concerns. However, further high quality, large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This study found that the prevalence of HBVr among chronic carriers ranged from 17.1% to 40.5% depending on the specific inhibitor used, while it ranged from 2.6% to 6.4% for occult carriers. The uptake of prophylactic antiviral therapy in high-risk groups was found to be low.

Summary: This study aims to determine the distinguishing pathological and clinical factors of different Brachyspira species, which can be useful to clinicians and pathologists. Through a pooled analysis comparing each species, differences in the pathologic and clinical profiles of each Brachyspira species were identified. Patients infected with Brachyspira pilosicoli were more likely to have diarrhea, fever, HIV, and immunocompromised conditions. Patients infected with Brachyspira aalborgi were more likely to have lamina propria inflammation.

Summary: In this study, researchers aimed to establish a predictive model for radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients by incorporating clinical factors and newly developed genetic variants. They conducted a large-scale retrospective study and a genome-wide association study to develop a polygenic risk score (PRS) for RBI risk prediction. The results showed that the PRS, combined with clinical factors, improved the accuracy of RBI risk stratification and suggested personalized radiotherapy.
