Normal tissue complication probability modeling to guide individual treatment planning in pediatric cranial proton and photon radiotherapy

Mikaela Dell'Oro et al.

Summary: Sensitivity analyses of NTCP models in pediatric patients with cranial cancer showed that female patients may be more susceptible to side effects such as brainstem necrosis and cochlea tinnitus compared to males. Age, sex, and individual intrinsic radiosensitivity significantly affect NTCP outcomes in radiotherapy.

Roadmap: helium ion therapy

Andrea Mairani et al.

Summary: Helium ion beam therapy, developed in the 1950s, has been overlooked for decades but is now gaining attention. Because helium ions have intermediate physical and biological properties between protons and carbon ions, they have the potential to be an economically viable option for radiation therapy. Helium ions exhibit superior physical properties and reduced radio-biological uncertainties, making them more effective for deep tissue treatments.

Toward Improved Diagnosis Accuracy and Treatment of Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Ependymoma: The International SIOP Ependymoma II Protocol

Pierre Leblond et al.

Summary: The SIOP Ependymoma II trial aims to improve the outcome of ependymoma patients in childhood and adolescence. It includes randomized studies based on factors such as surgical outcome and eligibility for radiotherapy. The trial aims to increase resection rate, evaluate the effectiveness of various treatments, and identify prognostic biomarkers.

Proton Radiation Therapy for Nasopharyngeal Cancer Patients: Dosimetric and NTCP Evaluation Supporting Clinical Decision

Alessandro Vai et al.

Summary: The study proposed an integrated strategy to support the clinical allocation of nasopharyngeal patients between proton and photon radiotherapy. Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans were optimized for 50 consecutive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and the differences in dose and normal tissue complication probability (Delta NTCPx-p) for 16 models were calculated. The model-based selection (MBS) strategy was used to assess patient eligibility for IMPT based on the results for the most clinically relevant endpoints, applying specific Delta NTCPx-p thresholds and a composite threshold. In addition, a comprehensive toxicity score (CTS) was defined as the weighted sum of all 16 Delta NTCPx-p, where weights follow a clinical rationale. The MBS strategy successfully identifies NPC patients most likely to benefit from IMPT and the CTS summarizes the expected global gain.

Long-term cognitive and academic outcomes among pediatric brain tumor survivors treated with proton versus photon radiotherapy

Amanda E. Child et al.

Summary: The study suggests that generally favorable neurocognitive and academic long-term outcomes are observed following focal PRT. The greatest impairment was seen following CSI regardless of treatment modality. Dosimetry and baseline characteristics are important predictors of outcomes alone or in combination with treatment modality.
