Body composition adds little to radiotherapy toxicity prediction
Computed tomography-derived muscle measures ranked highly for toxicity and quality of life, but added little predictive value beyond established clinical factors.

Cosmesis reporting after radiotherapy for non-melanoma skin cancer remains inconsistent
Most studies used heterogeneous, poorly reproducible cosmetic assessment methods, limiting comparisons between radiotherapy techniques and supporting development of a validated standard.
Dose de-escalation improved patient-reported outcomes in early p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer
Reducing radiotherapy from 70 Gy to 60 Gy was associated with better one-year swallowing outcomes and lower acute toxicity in selected patients.
Quality of life remains impaired after chemoradiotherapy for anal squamous cell carcinoma
Patients reported persistently worse quality of life and functioning approximately two years after chemoradiotherapy than matched individuals without cancer.
