Summary: In treating oropharynx cancer patients, the combination of IMRT and IMPT achieved more favorable acute toxicity profiles compared to IMRT alone, while maintaining comparable oncologic outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated gastrointestinal patient reported outcomes in cervical cancer patients treated with different types of radiation therapy. The results showed that 3D conformal RT was associated with significantly greater worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms compared to intensity modulated/volumetric modulated arc therapy in the subacute and late phase. These findings support the ongoing use of the latter therapy in routine practice.

Summary: The study developed an efficient and automatic approach, AGAP, that fully automated the IMRT planning process in rectal cancer radiotherapy. It reduced the dependence on planner experience and maintained comparable plan quality with P-auto plans.

Summary: Despite being rare, the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus is increasing. This retrospective study evaluates the outcomes and toxicities of intensity-modulated radiation therapy-based chemoradiation for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus and compares different chemosensitizers. The results suggest that IMRT-based chemoradiation with concurrent fluoropyrimidine and cisplatin is a safe and feasible option for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anus. Further study is needed to determine the role of radiation dose escalation.

Summary: Capecitabine/mitomycin in combination with SIB RapidArc radiation therapy for anal cancer seems as effective as 5-FU-based chemotherapy and is well tolerated with minimal toxicity.

Summary: The study found that concurrent chemotherapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy can significantly reduce locoregional failure rates, with acceptable toxicity and positive patient-reported outcomes.

Summary: The study found that dysphagia-optimised intensity-modulated radiotherapy (DO-IMRT) improved swallowing function and reduced radiation dose-related damage in patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers. Therefore, DO-IMRT should be considered as a new standard treatment for patients receiving radiotherapy for pharyngeal cancers.

Summary: The retrospective analysis of anal canal cancer patients treated with IMRT or VMAT shows that this approach reduces acute toxicities while maintaining high rates of complete response, colostomy-free survival, disease-free survival, and overall survival.

Summary: The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the toxicity reported by patients and physicians in anal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation with intensity-modulated proton therapy. The results showed that there was no significant difference in physician-reported gastrointestinal, genitourinary, dermatologic, and hematologic toxicity between patients treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy and those treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy. However, high-grade gastrointestinal symptoms persisted for 12 months and additional measures are needed to minimize toxicity related to chemoradiation.

Summary: This survey revealed that IMRT is being used to treat rectal cancer in many radiotherapy centers in the UK, but there are variations in implementation and practice among different centers. The results of this survey have been valuable in informing the recommendations of the new National Rectal Cancer IMRT Guidance.

Summary: This single-institution study demonstrated the high efficacy of PBS IMPT in the definitive chemoradiotherapy of anal cancer, achieving a high rate of complete regression with low haematological acute toxicity. The acute toxicities completely resolved in all patients without lethal outcomes. Longer follow-up is needed to assess the impact of PBT on chronic toxicity.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the long-term toxicities and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with prostate cancer who had undergone rectal surgery. The findings suggest that IMRT may be safe and effective for patients with prostate cancer after rectal surgery if more than 5 years have passed after surgery, with a rectal dose constraint of D-max < 70 Gy.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the optimal radiotherapy dose for clinically positive LPLN from LARC. Results showed a significantly lower 2-year LPLN regrowth rate in the SIB-IMRT group compared to the non-SIB-IMRT group, especially for patients with LPLN measuring >= 8mm in the short axis or >= 10mm in the long axis.
