Multimodality Therapy for Older Cancer Patients
Older cancer patients are frequently excluded from clinical trials due to the concern about toxicity. Chronologically older cancer patients may not receive curative treatment especially when it involves multi-modality such as surgery and radiotherapy or chemotherapy and radiotherapy even when they are physically fit. As there is a paucity of data on older cancer patients, clinicians are often faced with a difficult choice on how to manage those patients who have many co-morbidities. As an international research organization dedicated to the care of older cancer patients, minorities, and women, the International Geriatric Radiotherapy Group would like to investigate the pattern of care across...
Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Effective Radiotherapy Delivery
Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is a new radiotherapy technology that combines the rapid dose fall off associated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and daily tumor imaging allowing for high precision tumor dose delivery and effective sparing of surrounding normal organs. The new radiation technology requires close collaboration between radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and radiation oncologists to avoid marginal miss. Modern diagnostic imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans, positron emission tomography with Computed Tomograpgy (PET-CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the radiation oncologist to target the positive tumor with high accuracy...

Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology
Cancer is a global burden and has been acknowledged as a dedicated sustainable development goal (SDG) by the WHO. Worldwide cancer care in all its aspects reaching from prevention and early detection up to palliative care is still characterized by extensive inequalities in accessibility, availability, acceptability, affordability, and quality of care. This results in the insufficient implementation of Universal Health Coverage in many countries and regions. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) but also underserved regions and population groups in industrial countries achieve intensified focus since several years regarding knowledge exchange and support to overcome these inequalities. Research in global cancer care gained extended attention but still has limitations regarding comparability, methodology, and data quality. Therefore, the Research Topic “Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology” will focus on research approaches and results of cancer care implementation and its barriers that can be transferred to other countries.
Breast Cancer: Real Questions, Real Answers
Breast Cancer: Real Questions, Real Answers is an outgrowth of Dr. David Chan's more than 20 years in private oncology practice. Inspired by his patients—who courageously face their illness but often feel fearful, confused about their options, and full of questions—Dr. Chan's book is uniquely structured as a Question and Answer between patient and doctor. It provides readers with an easily navigated, completely current resource for all of their queries. Poised to become the new must-read for breast cancer patients, this book offers easily digestible information by reviewing and exploring the causes of breast cancer, outlining the core basics of breast cancer therapy, explaining how breas...
