Phase 3 Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Single-Dose 24 Gy Radiation Therapy to a 3-Fraction SBRT Regimen in the Treatment of Oligometastatic Cancer

This prospective phase 3 randomized trial was designed to test whether ultra high single-dose radiation therapy (24 Gy SDRT) improves local control of oligometastatic lesions compared to a standard hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy regimen (3 × 9 Gy SBRT). The secondary endpoint was to assess the associated toxicity and the impact of ablation on clinical patterns of metastatic progression.

Randomized Trial of Radiation Therapy With Weekly Cisplatin or Cetuximab in Low-Risk HPV-Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer (TROG 12.01) – A Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group Study

The excellent prognosis of patients with low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)- associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has led to concerns about overtreatment and excessive toxicity with radiation therapy and cisplatin, leading to interest in de-intensification trials. We investigated whether cetuximab, an epidermal growth factor receptor targeting antibody, when combined with radiation therapy would result in a decrease in symptom burden and toxicity with similar efficacy compared with weekly cisplatin.

Salivary and Dental Complications in Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated With Radiation Therapy to the Head and Neck: A Pediatric Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (PENTEC) Comprehensive Review

Radiation therapy (RT) to the head and neck (H&N) region is critical in the management of various pediatric malignancies; however, it may result in late toxicity. This comprehensive review from the Pediatric Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (PENTEC) initiative focused on salivary dysfunction and dental abnormalities in survivors who received RT to the H&N region as children.
