Catheter-free, electrophysiology (EP)-guided, noninvasive cardiac radioablation has been used on small numbers of patients to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT), but long-term follow-up for safety, efficacy and survival has been lacking. A late-breaking study presented at Heart Rhythm 2023 in May showed positive outcomes for this new ablation method.

Compared with standard fractionation, hyperfractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) could significantly increase overall survival, as well as reduce the rate of severe late complications in patients with locally advanced recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) guided by MRI for localised prostate cancer resulted in fewer toxicities and an improvement in quality of life compared with CT guidance, according to the randomised phase III MIRAGE trial.

The time has come to revisit the practice of omitting adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for older patients with early hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer and instead consider a more individualised approach to RT and hormonal therapy, authors of a review article argued.

Adding radiation therapy to systemic treatment significantly improved overall survival (OS) in advanced liver cancer, according to a randomised trial reported here.

A radiation treatment that delivers therapeutic doses in a fraction of a second appeared to be a promising option in mitigating the side effects associated with conventional radiation therapy, according to results from a first-in-human trial.

Traditionally, men with low-risk prostate cancer had undergone radical prostatectomy or radiation, but many are now opting for a more conservative active surveillance approach. Matt O'Connor | Oncology Imaging | Health Imaging

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities in cancer management, often used in combination with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy. Approximately 40% of cancer cures are attributed to radiotherapy. Read the full report now
