William Kennedy, MD, discussed modern radiosurgery techniques, technology selection, and the multidisciplinary approach for treating complex CNS tumors.

Administering 177Lu for mCRPC is a “team sport”, according to Steven Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO.

After the recent approval of 177Lu in PSMA+/mCPRCP prior to chemotherapy, Steven Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO, highlights the importance of this milestone.

Steven Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO, spoke about the impact of the approval of 177Lu for patients with PSMA-positive mCRPC.

Testing a patient’s genetics may influence decisions such as using longer courses of radiotherapy, says Rachit Kumar, MD.

Multidisciplinary collaboration may help in minimizing the treatment burden among patients with prostate cancer, according to Curtiland Deville Jr, MD.

The phase 3 MIRAGE trial findings show that PROSTOX ultra was validated as a biomarker to predict genitourinary toxicity following SBRT.

Focused, high-dose radiotherapy doses may prolong survival and the interval to subsequent therapy for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Data show increasing use of proton therapy overall but widening gaps in populations who have access to this treatment, Curtiland Deville Jr, MD, says.

Various methods of communication ensure that members from radiation oncology, pathology, and other departments are on the same page regarding treatment.

Greater cancer treatment longevity enables oncologists the ability to form more impactful relationships with their patients.

Adaptive radiation may help individualize therapy based on transient factors patients are faced with while receiving treatment for cancer.

Experts from Sibley Memorial Hospital highlight radiation oncology technologies that have played key roles in cancer care at their institution.

A radiation oncologist discussed challenges related to the radiation oncology space as well as ongoing developments in the field highlighted at ACRO.

A radiation oncologist discussed the theranostics treatment landscape and career opportunities in the field at the 2025 ACRO Summit.

ACRO presentations may enable community practices to utilize cutting-edge radiation advances to deliver optimal treatment to patients.

“As a field, we’re trying to push hard to make [radiation] patient-centered, and because of that, the field is the future of the field is pretty bright,” James B. Yu, MD, MHS, FASTRO, stated.

James B. Yu, MD, MHS, FASTRO, believes that 2 of the most intriguing and growing areas of radiation oncology are reirradiation of the prostate and bladder chemoradiation.

“You have to come up with a novel twist in order to make an impactful study or get your own unique data set…” James B. Yu, MD, MHS, FASTRO, said in regard to creating interesting research.

A lot of James B. Yu’s research begins with something as simple as a question from a patient regarding what aspects of treatment may be most beneficial.

In radiation oncology, renal cancers are experiencing the greatest levels of change and growth, according to James B. Yu.

Retrospective data may offer actionable guidance for clinicians treating patients with non–small cell lung cancer and brain metastases.

James B. Yu, MD, MHS, FASTRO, didn’t always envision himself as a radiation oncologist, but now works tirelessly to treat patients and advance research for genitourinary cancers.

Factors such as World Health Organization status appeared to correlate with early mortality in an elderly non–small cell lung cancer cohort.

Radiotherapy plus camrelizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy showed manageable toxicity in untreated non–small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.

Data support cetuximab/radiotherapy as a suitable option in carefully selected patients with HPV-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

A single-arm phase 2 study assessed local consolidative therapy regimens in patients with oligometastatic stage IV non–small cell lung carcinoma.

Although not hitting its primary end point, a phase 2 trial showed that SBRT plus concurrent radiotherapy improved on results elicited in other trials.

Data from the phase 3 OPERA trial support contact X-ray brachytherapy boost as a treatment option for preserving organs in smaller rectal adenocarcinoma tumors.

Analysis of NRG/RTOG 9804 and E5194 trials found tamoxifen significantly reduced invasive ipsilateral breast recurrence in patients with “good risk” DCIS treated without RT.
