Chemo or Not? RT Alone Holds Strong After Hysterectomy šØ @OncoAlert
šÆ 316 pts, stage IBāIIA, randomized RT vs CRT (NRG/GOG-263)
š 3y RFS: 88.5% (CRT) vs 85.4% (RT) ā NS
š OS trend favoring CRT, but no significance
ā ļø Toxicity: 43% vs 15% (CRT ā)
ā RT alone highly effective, esp. with IMRT.
š Take-home: More toxicity, no clear survival gain. Precision selection needed

š„ PCS-9: SBRT + ENZA Doubles Disease Control in Oligometastatic CRPC @OncoAlert@dr_cury
šÆ Objective
⢠Evaluate whether adding SBRT to ADT + enzalutamide ā¬ļø outcomes in oligometastatic CRPC (ā¤5 mets)
š„ Methods
⢠Ph 2, randomized, 13 Canadian centers.
⢠100 men with oligometastatic CRPC
⢠Arm A: ADT + ENZA;
Arm B: ADT + ENZA + SBRT
⢠SBRT: 24ā60 Gy in 2ā8 fractions to all metastatic sites
š Results
⢠Median rPFS: 4.6 vs 2.3 y (HR 0.48; p=0.014)
⢠Time to next systemic therapy: 5.1 vs 2.9 y
⢠No grade 4/5 events; toxicity comparable
ā”ļø SBRT + ENZA marks a paradigm shift in oligometastatic CRPC management
š§ Pre-Op FSRT vs Post-Op FSRT ā New Data on Brain Met Resections! @OncoAlert
šÆ Objective
Test if pre-op FSRT improves outcomes vs post-op FSRT in resected brain mets.
š„ Methods
ā¢458 pts / 534 mets
ā¢27 Gy/3 fx or 30 Gy/5 fx
ā¢LINAC/GK, 2ā3 mm margins
š Results
ā¢Composite endpoint (LF, nMD, ā„G2 RN):
⢠Pre-op: 12%
⢠Post-op: 20% (p=0.018)
ā¢nMD: 1.7% vs 4.7%
ā¢No OS difference
š Pre-op FSRT = less meningeal disease & toxicity.
š¢ A new era in head & neck cancer care begins.
#FDA approves #pembrolizumab as the first immunotherapy for perioperative use in resectable LA-HNSCC.

HDR vs LDR Boost in Prostate Cancer: Is One Better? @OncoAlert
New RCT sheds light on long-term efficacy for unfavorable-risk prostate cancer
šÆ Objective
Compare HDR vs LDR brachytherapy boost + EBRT in terms of biochemical control
š„ Methods
ā¢190 š„ randomized: HDR (15 Gy pre-EBRT) vs LDR (110 Gy post-EBRT)
ā¢All received pelvic EBRT (46 Gy/23 fx) via IMRT/VMAT or 3D-CRT
ā¢76% received ADT; median f/u 74 months
ā¢PSA ā¤0.2 ng/ml at 4y = cure
š Key Results
ā¢4y PSA ā¤0.2: HDR 81% | LDR 83%
ā¢8y bPFS: HDR 85% | LDR 84%
ā¢OS/CSS similar
šTakeway: Both techniques offer durable efficacy. Use may depend on center expertise &š„ factorsš¤
