TL;DR: It is confirmed that radio-hyperthermia is useful in re-irradiation with a very high patient compliance and early response, size of lesions ≤3 cm, T max ≥42°C and RT doses ≥40 Gy were predictive outcome factors.

TL;DR: This study confirms the safety of radiotherapy for patients implanted with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators but suggests that chemoradiation represents a probable risk factor for cardiac toxicity.

TL;DR: Larotomy wound recurrence (LWR) for endometrial cancer usually appears as a solitary mass that grows slowly without concomitant failure sites a few years after hysterectomy, but in these six patients there is no common histology pattern that could suggest predictive factors for LWR.

TL;DR: The MLC is better than conventional cerrobend blocks both to improve the treatment reproducibility and accuracy, and relative to dosimetric characteristics like dose transmission and skin dose, and the use of MLC to modulate beam fluence (IMRT) will permit to modify beam intensity for improved shaping of the treated volume.
