Randomized Controlled TrialRadiotherapy in pediatric medulloblastoma: quality assessment of Pediatric Oncology Group Trial 9031.
To evaluate the potential influence of radiotherapy quality on survival in high-risk pediatric medulloblastoma patients. ⋯ Despite major treatment deviations in more than half of fully evaluable patients, underdosage or treatment volume misses were not associated with a worse event-free or overall survival.

Randomized Controlled TrialPrognostic index score and clinical prediction model of local regional recurrence after mastectomy in breast cancer patients.
To develop clinical prediction models for local regional recurrence (LRR) of breast carcinoma after mastectomy that will be superior to the conventional measures of tumor size and nodal status. ⋯ The prognostic score and predictive index are useful methods to estimate the risk of LRR in breast cancer patients after mastectomy and for estimating the potential benefits of PMRT. These models provide additional information criteria for selection of patients for PMRT, compared with the traditional selection criteria of nodal status and tumor size.
