TL;DR: Combination of the tumoral and peritumoral RS with TNM staging system outperformedTNM staging alone in individualized recurrence risk estimation of patients with surgically treated NSCLC.

TL;DR: In this paper, a suitable model on bladder late toxicity in prostate cancer (PC) patients treated by radiotherapy with volumetric technique was elaborated. But the model performance was estimated by taking 1000 samples with replacement from the original dataset and calculating the AUC average, and the calibration plot (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test) was used to evaluate the performance of internal validation.

TL;DR: Prospective-gating RT to the left breast offered the best protection of heart and lung, as well as a lower irradiation of the contralateral breast, compared to CRT or IMRT.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the prognostic factors in patients that underwent induction therapy and surgery for clinical stage III NSCLC, and found that the lymph node ratio was a strong prognosticator in patients with persistent nodal involvement.

TL;DR: In stage IIIA and IIIB cancer patients, where surgery was the only treatment performed, relapse occurred in more than 80% of cases, locally in about 1/3 of patients, distantly or combined in about 2/ 3 of patients.
