Five-treatment radiation provides excellent long-term prostate cancer control

Five-treatment stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) provided excellent long-term cancer control with fewer urinary and sexual side effects than surgery in the first randomized trial to directly compare the treatments for localized prostate cancer.

Focused radiosurgery extends survival for small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastases

Patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that had spread to the brain lived a median of 17 months after focused stereotactic radiosurgery, compared with nine months after an advanced form of whole brain radiation therapy, an unexpected secondary finding from the first randomized phase 3 trial to compare the treatment approaches in this population.

Fractionated radiosurgery extends survival for brain metastasis patients

Delivering focused radiation therapy over three to five sessions after surgery for a large brain metastasis reduced the risk of cancer returning at the surgical site compared with delivering the radiation in a single session, according to the results of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology A071801 presented today at the plenary session of the American Society for Radiation Oncology in Boston.

Continuous glucose monitors show strong survival benefits for type 2 diabetes patients

People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on basal insulin, starting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) had a 44% lower risk of dying from any cause after one year compared with those who did not use CGM, with the risk being 35% lower after two years, according to an analysis of patient data being presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2).

An AI-identified biomarker can look accurate and still fail its biggest test

The review examines how AI combines molecular, imaging, circulating, cellular, and digital data to identify potential disease biomarkers. Its authors argue that independent validation, biological testing, and evidence of better clinical decisions are needed before those candidates enter patient care.

Prostate cancer biology helps identify hormone therapy candidates

A recent analysis of the NRG-RTOG 0534 "SPPORT" clinical trial evaluated the Luminal B (LumB) molecular subtype using the PAM50 genomic classifier to determine whether tumor biology could help identify patients most likely to benefit from hormone therapy.

$Hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer matches conventional treatment outcomes$

Hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer matches conventional treatment outcomes

Men with high-risk prostate cancer have a higher likelihood of having residual disease following prostatectomy and may require radiation therapy after surgery, particularly when PSA levels begin to rise. Conventional postprostatectomy radiotherapy (COPORT) is typically delivered over 37 fractions, while hypofractionated postprostatectomy radiotherapy (HYPORT) delivers a slightly lower total radiation dose over just 25 fractions.
