TL;DR: This study estimates the ideal proportion of new cases of cancer that should receive radiotherapy at least once during the course of their illness based on the best available evidence to identify areas where improvements in the evidence‐based use of radiotherapy can be made.

TL;DR: The overall optimal radiotherapy utilisation rate (external beam radiotherapy) for all registered cancers in Australia changed from 52.3% in 2003 to 48.

TL;DR: The patients with risk factors of presence of necrosis, high grade cytologic features, or comedo subtype were found to derive the greatest improvement in local control with the addition of RT to CS, and the authors recommend that radiation be added to CS if patients with DCIS who also have the risk factors for local recurrence choose breast conservation over mastectomy.

TL;DR: The paper outlines publications that deal with standard MRI sequences used in current clinical practice and discusses the potential for using processed functional diffusion maps (fDM) derived from diffusion weighted image sequences in tracking tumor activity and tumor recurrence.

TL;DR: The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement assembled a multidisciplinary international working group, comprised of 26 health care providers and patient advocates, to develop a standard set of value-based patient-centered outcomes for breast cancer (BC).
