Palliative RT is a very active treatment for patients with bone metastasis regardless of age, location, primary tumor, or RT scheme. RT significantly improves the QoL, fundamentally by controlling pain and reducing analgesic use. Shorter schemes of RT produce at least-if not better-the same effect on QL than longer schemes (30 Gy).

In order to improve the SF in rectal cancer treated with preoperative radiotherapy/capecitabine followed by conservative surgery, the maximum radiation dose to the AS should be limited, when possible, to <20 Gy.

The choice of AA, FF or FA does not impact on IFV although FF treatment takes significantly longer treatment time. Our immobilization device offers enough accuracy and the 5 mm margin may be considered acceptable as it accounts for more than 95 % of tumor shifts. Age is the only clinical factor that influenced IFV significantly in our analysis.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a rare soft-tissue malignancy constituting less than 1% of soft-tissue sarcomas. In this article we are describing a rare case of ARMS arising in the paranasal sinuses of an adult patient. We emphasize the multidisciplinary treatment administered, thanks to which the patient remains alive and free of disease for six years after the initial diagnosis
