TL;DR: Increased cellular radiosensitivity due to compromised DNA repair capacity is likely to contribute to the improved outcome of patients with HPV/p16(INK4a)-positive tumors when treated by radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Developing clinically relevant and evidence-based guidelines to improve the quality of care for women with gynecologic cancers across Europe based on the best available evidence and expert agreement is published.

TL;DR: SBRT for medically inoperable patients with pulmonary metastases achieved excellent local control and promising overall survival and important prognostic factors were identified for selecting patients who might benefit most from this therapy approach.

TL;DR: FEC-PET/CT planning could be helpful in dose escalation to lymph nodal sites of prostate cancer, and in conjunction with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and imaged guided radi therapy (IGRT), it might offer the opportunity of dose escalationto selected sites while avoiding unnecessary irradiation of healthy tissues.

TL;DR: After an initial learning curve with regards to total cumulative doses, consistently high biologically effective doses have been employed translating into high local tumor control at 1 and 2 years and overall survival is mainly influenced by histology and metastatic tumor burden.
