Common toxicity criteria: version 2.0. an improved reference for grading the acute effects of cancer treatment: impact on radiotherapy
Andy Trotti,Roger W. Byhardt,Joanne Stetz,Clement K. Gwede,Benjamin W. Corn,Karen Fu,Leonard L. Gunderson,Beryl McCormick,Mitchell Morris,Tyvin A. Rich,William U. Shipley,Walter J. Curran +11 more
TL;DR: The NCI CTC v. 2.0 represents an improvement in the evaluation and grading of acute toxicity for all modalities and the opportunity to grade acute radiation effects not adequately captured under the previous RTOG system.

Vaginal stenosis and sexual function following intracavitary radiation for the treatment of cervical and endometrial carcinoma
Deborah Watkins Bruner,Rachelle Lanciano,Marylou Keegan,Benjamin W. Corn,Eric Martin,Gerald E. Hanks +5 more
TL;DR: High-dose radiation for either cervical or endometrial carcinoma at standard doses with or without hysterectomy can cause a decrease in vaginal length as compared to the normal vaginal length documented by Masters and Johnson.

Irradiation-related ischemic heart disease.
TL;DR: A clear association between thoracic radiotherapy and ischemic heart disease was observed among older clinical studies using radiotherapeutic techniques that are no longer optimal by today's standards, but this relationship could not be confirmed in modern studies in which treatment factors were more carefully controlled.

Management of extremity soft tissue sarcomas with limbsparing surgery and postoperative irradiation: Do total dose, overall treatment time, and the surgery-radiotherapy interval impact on local control?
Douglas A. Fein,W. Robert Lee,Rachelle Lanciano,Benjamin W. Corn,Scott H. Herbert,Alexandra L. Hanlon,John P. Hoffman,Burton L. Eisenberg,Lawrence R. Coia +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed using the following variables as covariates: tumor dose, overall treatment time, interval from surgery to initiation of radiation therapy, margin status, grade, and tumor size.

Localized prostate cancer treated by external-beam radiotherapy alone: serum prostate-specific antigen--driven outcome analysis.
TL;DR: Pretreatment serum PSA level is the most important predictor of treatment outcome in this group of patients treated with definitive radiotherapy alone, and external-beam radiation alone can produce acceptable early rates of bNED survival in patients with clinically organ-confined tumors and a pretreatment PSA levels < or = 15 ng/mL.
