    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of radiotherapy (RT) to oligoprogressive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 23 patients with metastatic NSCLC on maintenance systemic therapy, developed oligoprogression (1 to 5 sites), and all oligoprogressive sites amenable to and treated with RT. The primary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and median time to start next-line therapy (MTT). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank testing were performed using R-Studio software.
    Results: Twenty-three patients met the inclusion criteria. The median overall survival for the entire cohort was 31.3 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 17.86 to 45.4). The median event-free survival for the entire cohort was 8.3 months (IQR: 2.7 to 12). Patients with no prior radiation had longer median event-free survival of 11.9 months (IQR: 8.4 to 18.2) compared with patients with a history of prior radiation at 4.1 months (IQR: 2.7 to 12; P = 0.041). The local control rate for the treated lesions was 97.5%. At 12 months follow-up, 6 (43%) of 14 living patients maintained systemic therapy without initiating next-line therapy. The median PFS for the entire cohort was 8.4 months (IQR: 4.1 to 17.5). Patients who did not receive prior radiation had longer median PFS of 11.9 months (IQR: 8.4 to 18.2) compared with patients who received prior radiation 6.2 months (IQR: 2.7 to 8.5; P = 0.018). Two patients (9%) had grade 3 chronic toxicity related to RT and were medically managed.
    Conclusion: We identified that in patients with oligoprogressive metastatic NSCLC, targeted RT to all progressive sites yielded high LC and favorable rates of PFS and MTT.

    Abstract In the modern era, cervical cancer treatment has become more multidisciplinary in nature. Accurate and precise staging based on clinical and radiographic findings, as well as identification of pathologic and molecular risk factors, may alter treatment recommendations. Additionally, the body of evidence guiding optimal treatment recommendations continues to grow. Multiple specialists including gynecologic oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other ancillary staff, often with subspecialty experience in gynecology or cancer care, now staff multidisciplinary gynecologic oncology teams. This review highlights the basis of multidisciplinary treatment of early-stage cervical cancer, with a focus on surgical interventions, the role of adjuvant therapy, and indications for definitive chemoradiation. We specifically focus on the treatment of cervical cancer from stage IA1 (microinvasive disease) to stage IIB (parametrial involvement without involvement of pelvic sidewall). The staging manuals referenced in this review include the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 staging as well as the updated American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 9th edition (2021).

    Abstract Aim: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy. The optimal treatment protocols are debated.
    Methodology: A systematic search and individual patient data analysis of published cases of SDC was performed. SPSS v21 was used for statistical analysis.
    Results: Data of 857 patients available. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the entire cohort 42 months and 24 months. Nodal involvement, males, primary size >5 cm, androgen receptor (AR) negativity significantly worse OS. Patients with surgery had a favorable median PFS (p = 0.000) and OS (p = 0.077). Patients with adjuvant radiation had better PFS (30 vs 18 months; p = 0.077).
    Conclusion: SDC has modest survival. Surgery and adjuvant radiation should be advocated for all patients. AR expression appears prognostic for survival.

    Abstract Background: Liver tumors are commonly encountered in oncology. The study aimed to assess the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (MRgSBRT) on disease-related outcomes and the toxicity profile.
    Methods: Patients who received MRgSBRT from 2019 to 2021 for primary and metastatic liver tumors were included in this analysis. The protocol for treatment simulation included Gadoxetate disodium injection followed by a single-dimensional post-exhale MRI (0.35-T MRI linear accelerator) and computed tomography simulation. The patient demographics and treatment-related outcomes were assessed. The time-to-event curves were analyzed for freedom from local progression (FFLP) and overall survival (OS).
    Results: A total of 35 patients were eligible for analysis with a median age of 70 years (range 25 to 95). The median follow-up was 19.4 months (range 1 to 37 mo). The one-year OS was 77.7%, with an estimated 3 years of 47.9%. Patients with the locally controlled disease had a better median OS of 27.8 months (95% CI [23.8-31.6]) compared with 13.5 months (95% CI [5.6-21.3], P =0.007) in patients with local disease progression. The 1-year FFLP was 95.6%, and 3-year estimated FFLP was 87.1%. Patients who received a radiation dose of biologically equivalent dose≥100 Gy had FFLP of 30.9 months (95% CI [28.7-33.1]) compared with 13.3 months (95% CI [5.3-21.3], P =0.004) in patients who received <100 Gy biologically equivalent dose.
    Conclusion: MRI-guided SBRT provides optimal local control, associated with improved OS in a heavily morbid, pretreated older cohort of patients with reasonable safety profiles.

    Abstract Background: . Tumours of the eyelid are a rare subgroup of neoplasms with varied histology and inherent differences in clinical behaviour. Surgery is the standard of care, and adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) is given in the presence of features suggesting a high risk of local recurrence. The treatment of lymph nodes in the neck is debatable. We reviewed the utility of RT for lymph nodes in the neck in patients with malignant tumours of the eyelid.
    Methods: . We reviewed medical records of all patients with tumours of the eyelid treated at our centre from July 2006 to December 2014 for their demographic, clinical profile, treatment details and outcome.
    Results: . The records of 37 patients were included for analysis, of these 34 underwent surgery and 21 received adjuvant RT. Their median age was 60 (range 30-85) years. Sebaceous cell carcinoma was the most common (50.4%). The median disease-free survival (DFS) was 35 months (95% CI 17.9-52.0). The 1- and 3-year DFS were 82.7% and 45%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed a superior outcome with early stage (T1) tumours (p=0.01), RT dose of ≥60 Gy and those underwent lymph node dissection (p=0.03). The presence of high-risk factors including close or positive margin had an inferior outcome with a trend towards statistical significance (p=0.06).
    Conclusion: . We found a favourable outcome with early T stage, RT dose of ≥60 Gy and lymph node dissection. High-risk histopathological features including close margins and positive lymph nodes merit adjuvant RT including regional lymph nodes.

    Abstract Background: Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a constellation of inflammatory disorders that are unmasked after the initiation of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. Unmasking lymphoma IRIS is a relatively rare manifestation after initiation of anti-retroviral therapy.
    Case presentation: We report a 44-year-old male with HIV on 4 months of ART presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin with a diagnosis of unmasking Hodgkin's lymphoma IRIS stage IV with B symptoms. This case portrays the importance of recognizing the possibility of Hodgkin's lymphoma as a possible manifestation of IRIS within the first 6 months of initiation of ART.
    Conclusion: Patients presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin and lymphadenopathy within the first 6 months of initiation of ART, lymphoma diagnosis should be on the high threshold of suspicion as portrayed by our case.
