    The geographical location and differences in tumor biology significantly change the management of gastric cancer. The prevalence of gastric cancer ranks fifth and sixth among men and women, respectively, in Turkey. The international guidelines from the Eastern and Western countries fail to manage a considerable amount of inconclusive issues in the management of gastric cancer. The uncertainties lead to significant heterogeneities in clinical practice, lack of homogeneous data collection, and subsequently, diverse outcomes. The physicians who are professionally involved in the management of gastric cancer at two institutions in Istanbul, Turkey, organized a consensus meeting to address current problems and plan feasible, logical, measurable, and collective solutions in their clinical practice for this challenging disease. The evidence-based data and current guidelines were reviewed. The gray zones in the management of gastric cancer were determined in the first session of this consensus meeting. The second session was constructed to discuss, vote, and ratify the ultimate decisions. The identification of the T stage, the esophagogastric area, imaging algorithm for proper staging and follow-up, timing and patient selection for neoadjuvant treatment, and management of advanced and metastatic disease have been accepted as the major issues in the management of gastric cancer. The recommendations are presented with the percentage of supporting votes in the results section with related data.

    Optimizing the Personalized Care for the Management of Rectal Cancer: A Consensus Statement

    Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in Turkey. The current guidelines do not provide sufficient information to cover all aspects of the management of rectal cancer. Although treatment has been standardized in terms of the basic principles of neoadjuvant, surgical, and adjuvant therapy, uncertainties in the management of rectal cancer may lead to significant differences in clinical practice. In order to clarify these uncertainties, a consensus program was constructed with the participation of the physicians from the Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar and Koc Universities. This program included the physicians from the departments of general surgery, gastroenterology, pathology, radiology, nuclear medicine, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and medical genetics. The gray zones in the management of rectal cancer were determined by reviewing the evidence-based data and current guidelines before the meeting. Topics to be discussed consisted of diagnosis, staging, surgical treatment for the primary disease, use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment, management of recurrent disease, screening, follow-up, and genetic counseling. All those topics were discussed under supervision of a presenter and a chair with active participation of related physicians. The consensus text was structured by centralizing the decisions based on the existing data.

    Limited field adaptive radiotherapy for glioblastoma: changes in target volume and organ at risk doses
    (KOREAN SOC THERAPEUTIC RADIOLOGY \& ONCOLOGY, 2022-01-01) Senkesen, Oznur; Tezcanli, Evrim; Abacioglu, Mehmet Ufuk; Ozen, Zeynep; Cone, Derya; Kucucuk, Halil; Goksel, Evren Ozan; Arifoglu, Alptekin; Sengoz, Meric
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the tumor volume changes occurring during limited-field radiotherapy (RT) for glioblastoma patients and whether a volume-adapted boost planning approach provided any benefit on tumor coverage and normal tissue sparing. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four patients underwent simulation with magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) scans prior to RT (MR\_initial, CT\_initial) and boost treatment (MR\_adapt, CT\_adapt). For the boost phase, MR\_initial and MR\_adapt images were used to delineate GTV(2) and GTV(2\_adapt), respectively. An initial boost plan (Plan\_initial) created on CT\_initial for PTV2 was then reoptimized on CT\_adapt by keeping the same optimization and normalization values. Plan\_adapt was generated on CT\_adapt for PTV(2\_adapt )volume. Dose volume histogram parameters for target volumes and organs-at-risk were compared using these boost plans generated on CT\_adapt. Plan\_initial and Plan\_adaptive boost plans were summed with the first phase plan and the effect on the total dose was investigated. Results: Target volume expansion was noted in 21 0 /c, of patients while 791b had shrinkage. The average difference for the initial and adaptive gross tumor volume (G1V), clinical target volume (CTV), and planning target volume (PTV) volumes were statistically significant. Maximum dose differences for brainstem and optic chiasm were significant. Healthy brain tissue V-10 and ipsilateral optic nerve maximum doses were found to decrease significantly in Plan\_adaptive. Conclusion: Results of this study confirm occurrence of target volume changes during RT for glioblastoma patients. An adaptive plan can provide better normal tissue sparing for patients with lesion shrinkage and avoid undercoverage of treatment volumes in case of target volume expansion especially when limited-fields are used.
