Target Volume Delineation for Pediatric cancers
Recent developments in radiation and neuro-oncology provide the ability to deliver required radiation dose to target volumes for pediatric brain tumors while avoiding sensitive normal central nervous system (CNS) structures uninvolved by tumor. Many CNS target volumes are smaller than in previous years due to better understanding of areas at risk for recurrence or involvement and patterns of spread for a given diagnoses. Advances in neuroimaging and treatment planning software allow for better delineation of tumors and normal neuroanatomy

Lattice Radiation Therapy in clinical practice: A systematic review
Lattice Radiation Therapy (LRT) is an innovative radiotherapy (RT) technique that allows to concurrently administering ablative doses inside neoplastic lesions and low doses near the adjacent organs at risks (OARs) (See Fig. 1). LRT can be considered as a type of spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) and it represents the 3-dimensional (3D) configuration of the 2-dimensional (2D) GRID therapy (See Fig. 2) [1]. The heterogeneous dose distribution of a LRT plans entails the creation of a 3D array inside the planning target volume (PTV), where high-dose (vertices or hotspots) and low-dose areas (periphery
Curative Treatment of Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma With Doxorubicin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine, and Dacarbazine and Consolidation Radiotherapy
While COG and Euronet use three risk groups (low, intermediate, and high), the authors chose to dichotomize groups as most included articles categorized patients as limited or advanced disease. Low- and intermediate-risk (IR) diseases in studies describing three risk groups were analyzed within the limited disease group. Each study had their own criteria for risk stratification. Two sets of bias assessments were conducted, using methodologies used by the Pediatric Normal Tissue Effects in Clinic

There are two treatments with curative potential, such as radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized disease and radical radiotherapy (R-RT). Control rates are determined by the prognostic factors present. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the control and survival rate with radical conformal radiotherapy (R-CR) in PCa. Methods: The 8.5-year results of an institutional series are presented using Cox proportional hazards analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival.
Establishment of Twinning Partnership to Improve Pediatric Radiotherapy Outcomes Globally
Childhood cancer is prevalent throughout the world.1 With modern technologies and therapies, high-income countries (HICs) now report cure rates as high as 80% for children with cancer.2,3 However, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) struggle with lack of health care resources and infrastructure, resulting in upward of 90% of pediatric oncologic deaths occurring in these countries.2-4 As radiotherapy is a critical component of care for children with malignancies, improving quality and access to pediatric radiotherapy services in LMICs is vital.5 Ethiopia is a low-income country (LIC) in sub-Saharan Africa with a multitude of distinct ethnic groups, languages, and religions
RADIOTERAPIA EN MÉXICO: UNA NECESIDAD URGENTE Y ESTRATÉGICA
El cáncer es la tercera causa de muerte en México con más de 91,500 fallecimientos anuales. Uno de cada dos pacientes requiere radioterapia como parte de su tratamiento, pero nuestro país cuenta con apenas 2 equipos por millón de habitantes, cuando la recomendación internacional es de 4. Esto coloca a México en desventaja incluso frente a países de ingresos bajos.

Neurocognitive Effects and Necrosis in Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated With Radiation Therapy
The definitive management of many pediatric malignancies requires radiation therapy (RT) to the central nervous system (CNS) that may predispose survivors to neurologic complications. A detailed understanding of radiation dosevolume effects is required to maximize the therapeutic ratio of brain irradiation.
Neurocognitive Late Effects of Chemotherapy in Children
Treatment protocols for childhood cancer have changed rapidly over the years, maintaining a balance between effective therapy and acceptable toxicity.
Association of Neurocognitive Deficits With Radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy
As cancer survival rates continue to improve, longterm adverse effects of treatment on health and quality of life are increasingly important considerations for clinicians, patients, and familymembers. Neurocognitive deficits (NCD) are well established as a common adverse effect in brain tumor survivors, owing to the tumor itself, but also localized brain irradiation treatment.
