TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective study of 174 patients treated for medulloblastoma was conducted to correlate targeting deviation in external beam radiation therapy with site of relapse, and the authors found that minor deviations in therapy technique are slightly associated with an increased risk of relapse in the same range as the group with only one major deviation.

TL;DR: This hyperfractionated radiotherapy protocol with a reduced boost volume and without chemotherapy was not associated with early relapses in children, and intellectual function seemed to be preserved, which is promising.

TL;DR: In 10 cases out of the 22 relapses treatment failure was probably due to a radiotherapeutic imperfection, which confirms the necessity of a strict radiotherapy control, particularly in multicentric study.

TL;DR: Les auteurs decrivent les differentes etapes de la radiotherapie conformative tridimensionnelle necessaire pour la mise en correspondance des donnees anatomiques morphologiques acquises en position de traitement avant l'irradiation and celles acquises juste avant the seance d'ir radiation.

TL;DR: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) radio immune assay was performed in 51 patients with lung carcinoma before and at various times after loco-regional radiotherapy to demonstrate correlation with metastasis or progression of the disease.
