    Abstract Bone metastases are the most common cause of cancer-related pain. Radiation therapy (RT) is a very common and effective treatment to relieve pain. Conventionally fractionated RT typically consists of the following regimens: 8 Gy in a single treatment, 20 Gy in five fractions, 24 Gy in six fractions, or 30 Gy in ten fractions. All treatment regimens have similar rates of pain relief (range 50-80%), with single-fraction treatment often requiring retreatment. While many painful bony metastases can be managed with RT alone, some may be more complex, often requiring multidisciplinary management, including the need for surgical stabilization or augmentation prior to RT. There are multiple assessment tools including the neurologic, oncologic, mechanical, and systemic (NOMS) decision framework, which allows clinicians to assess the proper course of treatment for these patients. For patients with good prognosis, oligometastatic disease, or those presenting with more radioresistant tumors, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may be another option, which offers ablative doses of radiation delivered over several treatments. This chapter reviews the fundamentals of RT for palliation.

    Abstract Background: Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) can address dosimetric consequences of variations in anatomy by creating a new plan during treatment. However, ART is time- and labor-intensive and should be implemented in a resource-conscious way. Adaptive triggers composed of parameter-value pairs may direct the judicious use of online ART.
    Purpose: This work analyzed our clinical experience using CBCT-based daily online ART to demonstrate how a conceptual framework based on adaptive triggers affects the dosimetric and procedural impact of ART.
    Methods: Sixteen patients across several pelvic sites were treated with CBCT-based daily online ART. Differences in standardized dose metrics were compared between the original plan, the original plan recalculated on the daily anatomy, and an adaptive plan. For each metric, trigger values were analyzed in terms of the proportion of treatments adapted and the distribution of metric values.
    Results: Target coverage metrics were compromised due to anatomic variation with the average change per treatment ranging from -0.90 to -0.05 Gy, -0.47 to -0.02 Gy, -0.31 to -0.01 Gy, and -12.45% to -2.65% for PTV D99%, PTV D95%, CTV D99%, and CTV V100%, respectively. These were improved using the adaptive plan (-0.03 to 0.01 Gy, -0.02 to 0.00 Gy, -0.03 to 0.00 Gy, and -4.70% to 0.00%, respectively). Increasingly strict triggers resulted in a non-linear increase in the proportion of treatments adapted and improved the distribution of metric values with diminishing returns. Some organ-at-risk (OAR) metrics were compromised by anatomic variation and improved using the adaptive plan, but changes in most OAR metrics were randomly distributed.
    Conclusions: Daily online ART improved target coverage across multiple pelvic treatment sites and techniques. These effects were larger than those for OAR metrics, suggesting that maintaining target coverage was our primary benefit of CBCT-based daily online ART. Analyses like these can determine online ART triggers from a cost-benefit perspective.

    Abstract Purpose: Our purpose was to analyze dose-volume parameters associated with genitourinary (GU) toxicity from a phase I clinical trial of prostate bed stereotactic body radiation therapy.
    Methods and materials: Patients were treated in escalating dose levels of 35, 40, and 45 Gy, over 5 fractions. Data from all 26 patients enrolled in the protocol were analyzed using multiple dose-volume cut points for multiple GU organs at risk. Univariate logistical regression and Fisher exact test were used to assess statistical significance associated with incidence of toxicity.
    Results: The median follow-up was 36 months for all patients. Acute GU toxicity was mild and resolved spontaneously. Eight out of 26 patients (30.7%) developed late GU toxicity of grade 2 or higher. Two patients developed grade 3 ureteral stenosis, 1 in the 35 Gy arm and the other in the 45 Gy arm. Three patients developed grade 2 or higher hematuria/cystitis, and 3 developed grade 2 or higher incontinence. Incidence of grade 3 ureteral stenosis was related to the absolute volume of bladder wall receiving greater than 20, 25, and 30 Gy (P < .01). Grade 2 cystitis and hematuria were related to the volume of bladder wall receiving 20 Gy less than 34% and 35 Gy less than 25% (18.8% vs 60% and 23.8% vs 80%, respectively, P < .05). Incontinence was related to mean urethral dose less than 35 Gy and 25 Gy (4.3% vs 66.7% and 0% vs 37.5%, respectively, P < .05) and volume of urethra receiving 35 Gy less than 24% (8.3% vs 50%, P < .05).
    Conclusions: This is the first analysis to report dose-volume thresholds associated with late GU toxicity in patients receiving prostate bed stereotactic body radiation therapy. We recommend limiting the bladder wall receiving 25 Gy to less than 18 cubic centimeters to reduce the risk for late grade 3 ureteral stenosis.

    Abstract Gastric cancer is a common malignancy worldwide, and treatment of localized disease has shifted from surgery alone to the addition of chemotherapy at various stages in treatment. The role of radiation in the management of gastric cancer has evolved significantly since the seminal publication of INT 0116 demonstrated a survival advantage to adjuvant chemoradiation. In this review, we summarize multiple landmark studies discussing the role of radiation in non-metastatic gastric cancer, both in resectable and unresectable patients. This review will additionally discuss the evidence for pre-operative chemoradiation, as the benefit has already been demonstrated in esophageal and rectal cancer.
