ViewRay Inc. began a phase III randomized controlled trial titled “Locally Advanced Pancreatic cancer treated with ABLATivE stereotactic MRI-guided adaptive radiation therapy”—also known as LAP-ABLATE—which will compare stand-alone multi-agent chemotherapy, which is the current standard of care for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, to patients receiving a combination of chemotherapy and 5-fraction MRIdian stereotactic MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology published an updated clinical guideline in Practical Radiation Oncology that details best practices for using radiation therapy to treat patients who have oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma caused by the human papilloma virus.
