A recent comparison of APBI modalities found which modality had a higher risk of local recurrence?
In a randomized trial of proton and photon therapy for oropharyngeal SCC, what were the rates of feeding tube dependence in each arm?
What is the rate of local recurrence after definitive radiation for anterior nasal cavity cancer?
Answers
Applicator brachytherapy. The rates of recurrence at 5 years were 3.86% for photons, 5.62% for protons, and 8.34% for brachy.
40.2% (IMRT) v 26.8% (IMPT). PFS was noninferior with IMPT (81.3% v 76.2% at 5 years).
16% at 5 years. PFS was 62% and OS was 80% at 5 years. Having cT3 or cT4 disease or an unresectable tumor was associated with worse PFS. | QuadShot News
