Bruce Minsky, MD, of MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses two important papers: results from a prospective trial on quality-of-life outcomes for low-risk HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and a prostate cancer radiation therapy study (Abstracts 3, 4).
Anthony Zietman, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses the practice-changing results from a study comparing fractionation schedules in patients with low-risk prostate cancer (Abstract LBA6).
Roy Decker, MD, PhD, of Yale University School of Medicine, discusses a National Cancer Database analysis that showed elderly patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer can benefit from adding concurrent radiation to chemotherapy (Abstract 1010).
Leonard Gunderson, MD, of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, discusses PET/CT imaging in upper and lower gastrointestinal cancers, which can be of value as a baseline study prior to treatment, in determining the degree of response to treatment, and in helping decide whether there is a relapse after a complete response to treatment.
Howard M. Sandler, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, discusses this phase III noninferiority study comparing two fractionation schedules in patients with low-risk prostate cancer (Abstract LBA6).
