Utility of molecular markers in predicting local control specific to lung cancer spine metastases treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy
We report outcomes following spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the significance of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) status, epidermal growth fact...

Relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient and survival as a function of distance from gross tumor volume on radiation planning MRI in newly diagnosed glioblastoma
To investigate the changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) within incrementally-increased margins beyond the gross tumor volume (GTV) on post-operative radiation planning MRI and their prognostic utili...

Re-irradiation for recurrent high-grade glioma: an analysis of prognostic factors for survival and predictors of radiation necrosis
Recurrent high-grade glioma (rHGG) is a heterogeneous population, and the ideal patient selection for re-irradiation (re-RT) has yet to be established. This study aims to identify prognostic factors for rHGG p...

Changes in mammographic density and risk of breast cancer among a diverse cohort of women undergoing mammography screening
Mammographic density (MD) is a strong breast cancer risk factor. MD may change over time, with potential implications for breast cancer risk. Few studies have assessed associations between MD change and breast...

Hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (HSRS) as a salvage treatment for brain metastases failing prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
Various treatment options exist to salvage stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) failures for brain metastases, including repeat SRS and hypofractionated SRS (HSRS). Our objective was to report outcomes specific to ...

Trastuzumab emtansine increases the risk of stereotactic radiosurgery-induced radionecrosis in HER2 + breast cancer
In this study, we investigate factors associated with radionecrosis (RN) in HER2 + (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) patients with brain metastases (BrM) treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
