    Abstract The use of radiation therapy is an important part of multimodality treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma. The specific doses, treatment volumes, and techniques used in radiation therapy can vary dramatically based upon a number of factors including location, tumor size, and molecular characteristics, resulting in complex decisions in treatment planning. This article reviews the principles of evaluation and management for head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma including a summary of the historical studies upon which current management is based.

    Abstract Objective: To better document the risk of permanent hair and nail loss after total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) for mycosis fungoides (MF).
    Methods: Interviews and evaluations were conducted in 13 patients with MF treated with TSEBT alone and two patients treated with concomitant TSEBT and chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP). Evaluated parameters included time to hair and nail loss and regrowth, the density of hair regrowth, and quality of hair and nail regrowth.
    Results: Most patients had complete loss of scalp hair during treatment, and new growth appeared about 2 months following treatment completion. After 18 months, most patients felt their hair had regrown to about 70% of baseline thickness without cosmetically obvious alopecia. The patients treated with TSEBT and concomitant chemotherapy had substantially less scalp hair regrowth with persistent cosmetically obvious alopecia. Some lost eyebrows and eyelashes, but complete or near-complete regrowth generally occurred. Most patients lost their nails following TSEBT, with complete regrowth noted by most patients 5 months after treatment. New nails were most often normal, but a few patients developed post-therapy nail dystrophies.
    Conclusion: This data can be used to better inform patients of likely long-term changes of hair and nails following TSEBT.

    Abstract Extraneural metastases are rare in pediatric high-grade gliomas and little is known about the genomic profiles of tumors that disseminate beyond the central nervous system. We describe a pediatric patient with H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma of the brain and spine with biopsy-confirmed osseous metastases present at diagnosis and suspected metastatic parenchymal pulmonary disease. Several potentially clinically and/or therapeutically relevant genomic alterations were identified, including H3F3A and TP53 mutations as well as MET, CDK6, EMSY, and PIK3CG amplifications. Sequencing is critical to improve our understanding of the molecular drivers of distant metastases and discover therapeutic targets that penetrate all disease sites.

    Abstract Brainstem injury occurs secondary to radiation to the posterior fossa in up to 2% of pediatric patients. It may occur after months to years after treatment. It has been associated with age less than 5 years and with comorbid conditions such as cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Radiation necrosis is often symptomatic and can be fatal. A pathogenic variant in RNF213 was found in a patient who suffered fatal radiation necrosis. This mutation has been associated with moyamoya disease and may predispose to radiation necrosis.

    Abstract Radiation therapy (RT) is often used as a palliative treatment for children with recurrent malignant disease to ameliorate or prevent symptoms. However, no guidelines exist regarding the clinical indications or dose fractionation for palliative RT. The goal of this report is to provide guidelines for the use of palliative RT in children with cancer. In this guideline, appropriate indications for palliative RT, recommended dose-fractionation schedules, relevant toxicities, and avenues for future research are explored. RT is an effective palliative treatment for bone, brain, liver, lung, abdominopelvic and head-and-neck metastases, spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, and bleeding. Single-fraction regimens (8 Gy in one fraction) for children with short life expectancy are recommended for simple, uncomplicated bone metastases and can be considered for some patients with lung or liver metastases. A short, hypofractionated regimen (20 Gy in five fractions) may be used for other indications to minimize overall burden of therapy. There are little data supporting use of more prolonged fractionation regimens, though they may be considered for patients with very good performance status. Future research should focus on response and outcomes data collection, and to rigorously evaluate the role of stereotactic body RT in well-designed, prospective studies.

    Abstract Purpose: Single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) for meningioma has high rates of symptomatic perilesional edema in some settings. Fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery(fSRS) could decrease edema rates while maintaining tumor control.
    Methods and materials: Patients at an institution were retrospectively reviewed(2013-2017). Adults receiving definitive, linear accelerator(linac)-based fSRS (25-30Gy/5 fractions) were included. fSRS was recommended for tumors at high risk for perilesional edema with SRS due to large size, prior irradiation, or proximity to organs at risk. Endpoints included rates of symptomatic, radiographically-defined perilesional edema and local control(LC).
    Results: 12 Patients with 13 meningiomas met criteria. 24-month actuarial LC and overall survival were 87% and 100%. Symptomatic, post-treatment edema was identified on follow-up MRI in 31% of cases. No variables predicted edema, but affected lesions were larger(6.82 v. 2.46cc).
    Conclusion: Linac-based fSRS for meningioma has high local control and modest toxicity rates similar to SRS in the literature. Prospective studies comparing fSRS/SRS are warranted.
