    Abstract Background: In preterm neonates, parenteral nutrition (PN) is utilized to provide adequate energy and maintain the expected growth rate of a fetus. To optimize growth, our institution implemented comprehensive guidelines for prescribing PN. This study compared the effect of this change on growth outcomes of very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants at 28 days' postnatal age (PNA).
    Methods: Neonates <1250 g who received PN for >7 days were divided into preimplementation and postimplementation cohorts based on date of birth. The primary objective was to compare the average weight velocity (g/kg/day) of neonates at 28 days' PNA. Secondary objectives included identifying the average number of days to regain birth weight and comparing the percentage of infants above the 10th percentile for weight for age at 28 days with those at baseline.
    Results: There were 204 neonates in cohort 1 (before implementation) and 176 neonates in cohort 2 (after). No difference in weight velocity was identified (12.9 ± 5.2 vs 12.1 ± 4.9 g/kg/day; P = .177). No difference was detected in days to regain birth weight (9.2 ± 4.6 vs 9.9 ± 4.7; P = .909) or in the percentage of patients above the 10th percentile for weight for age (birth: 85.3% vs 83.5% [P = .634]; 28 days: 73% vs 64.8% [P = .082]).
    Conclusion: No difference was observed in the weight velocity of VLBW neonates <1250 g at birth when using the implemented guideline for PN prescription writing at our institution.

    Abstract Purpose: There are sparse data describing outcomes of bone-only oligometastatic prostate cancer in comparison with lymph node disease treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The primary aim of this study was to report progression-free survival (PFS) data for patients with bone-only disease. Influence of hormone sensitivity and androgen deprivation therapy use was also assessed.
    Methods: This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study. Hormone-sensitive and castrate-resistant patients with oligometastatic (≤ 3) bone-only prostate cancer treated with SBRT were included. Data were collected using electronic records. Kaplan-Meier survivor function, log rank test, as well as Cox regression were used to calculate PFS and overall survival.
    Results: In total, 51 patients with 64 bone metastases treated with SBRT were included. Nine patients were castrate resistant and 42 patient's hormone sensitive at the time of SBRT. Median follow-up was 23 months. Median PFS was 24 months in hormone-sensitive patients and 3 months in castrate-resistant patients. No patients experienced grade 3 or 4 toxicities. There were three in-field recurrences.
    Conclusions: In this study, patients with bone oligometastatic disease showed potential benefit from SBRT with a median PFS of 11 months. Hormone-sensitive patients showed the greatest benefit, with results similar to that published for oligometastatic pelvic nodal disease treated with SBRT. Prospective randomised control trials are needed to determine the survival benefit of SBRT in oligometastatic bone-only prostate cancer and to determine prognostic indicators.

    Abstract Aims: Oligoprogression is poorly defined in current literature. Little is known about the natural history and significance of oligoprogression in patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer on abiraterone or enzalutamide treatment [termed androgen receptor-targeted therapy (ARTT)]. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of oligoprogression, describe the characteristics of oligoprogression in a cohort of patients from a single center, and identify the number of patients potentially treatable with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
    Methods: Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients who radiologically progressed while on ARTT were included. Patients with oligoprogressive disease (OPD) (≤3 lesions) on any imaging were identified in a retrospective analysis of electronic patient records. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to calculate progression-free and overall survival.
    Results: A total of 102 patients with metastatic CRPC on ARTT were included. Thirty (29%) patients presented with oligoprogression (46 lesions in total); 21 (21% of total) patients had lesions suitable for SBRT. The majority of lesions were in the bone (21, 46%) or lymph nodes (15, 33%). Patients with oligoprogression while on ARTT had a significantly better prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response on commencing ARTT as compared to patients who later developed polyprogression. However, PSA doubling time immediately prior to progression did not predict OPD. Median progression-free survival to oligoprogression versus polyprogression was 16.8 vs. 11.7 months. Time to further progression after oligoprogression was 13.6 months in those treated with radiotherapy (RT) for oligoprogression vs. 5.7 months in those treated with the continuation of ARTT alone.
    Conclusions: In this study, nearly a third of patients on ARTT for CRPC were found to have OPD. OPD patients had a better PSA response on ART and a longer duration on ARTT before developing OPD as compared to those developing polyprogressive disease (Poly-PD). The majority of patients (70%) with OPD had lesions suitable for SBRT treatment. Prospective randomized control trials are needed to establish if there is a survival benefit of SBRT in oligoprogressive prostate cancer and to determine predictive indicators.
