American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting (ASTRO) | Conference

CancerNetwork® sat down with C. Jillian Tsai, MD, PhD, at the 2021 American Society for Radiation Oncology to talk about the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy to treat breast and lung cancer.

CancerNetwork® sat down with C. Jillian Tsai, MD, PhD, at the 2021 American Society for Radiation Oncology to talk about why consolidative radiotherapy may be beneficial against oligoprogression in metastatic breast and lung cancer.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Andrew Cook, MD, at the 2021 American Society for Radiation Oncology to discuss the potential role of gabapentin in head and neck cancer despite garnering negative results in oropharynx cancer.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Andrew Cook, MD, at the 2021 American Society for Radiation Oncology to discuss outcomes with gabapentin compared with opioids for increasing quality of life and decreasing treatment-related pain in oropharyngeal cancer.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Andrew Cook, MD, at the 2021 American Society for Radiation Oncology to talk about using prophylactic gabapentin for those receiving chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer.

Patients with human papillomavirus–associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma experienced good quality of life and promising survival benefit after being treated with de-escalated adjuvant radiation therapy.

Patients with up to 5 oligometastases tolerated stereotactic body radiation therapy well, with investigators identifying a relatively safe toxicity profile of grade 2 or higher adverse effects.

Patients with human papillomavirus–associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma experienced efficacious survival benefits from treatment with primary radiotherapy.

Although there was no resulting benefit to overall survival with the addition of short-term androgen deprivation to dose-escalated radiotherapy, patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer experienced other disease benefits with this treatment approach.

Patients receiving trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer on the phase 3 HERA trial did not have an increased risk of cardiotoxicity from radiation therapy.
