To define the indications for each imaging modality in the screening, characterization, extension and follow-up of salivary gland tumors.

In this Clinical Practice Update (CPU), we provide guidance on the appropriate use of different polypectomy techniques. We focus on polyps <2 cm in size that are most commonly encountered by the practicing endoscopist, including use of classification systems to characterize polyps and various polypectomy methods. We review characteristics of polyps that require complex polypectomy techniques and provide guidance on which types of polyps require more advanced management by a therapeutic endoscopist or surgeon. This CPU does not provide a detailed review of complex polypectomy techniques, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, which should only be performed by endoscopists with advanced training.

To determine the indications for radiotherapy in salivary gland cancer and to specify the modalities and target radiation volumes.

To determine the frequency and modality of post-treatment monitoring of primary salivary gland cancer.

ASCO Rapid Recommendation Updates highlight revisions to select ASCO guideline recommendations as a response to the emergence of new and practice-changing data. The rapid updates are supported by an evidence review and follow the guideline development processes outlined in theASCO Guideline Methodology Manual. The goal of these articles is to disseminate updated recommendations, in a timely manner, to better inform health practitioners and the public on the best available cancer care options. Guidelines and updates are not intended to substitute for independent professional judgment of the treating provider and do not account for individual variation among patients. See appendix for disclaimers and other important information (Appendix 1 and Appendix 2, online only).

No international recommendations exist for a minimum imaging requirement per lesion using reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). This may be beneficial given the increasing use of remote RCM interpretation internationally.

The 2022 revision of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society (JBCS) Clinical Practice Guidelines for surgical treatment of breast cancer was updated following a systematic review of the literature using the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (MINDS) procedure, which focuses on the balance of benefits and harms for various clinical questions (CQs). Experts in surgery designated by the JBCS addressed five areas: breast surgery, axillary surgery, breast reconstruction, surgical treatment for recurrent and metastatic breast cancer, and other related topics. The revision of the guidelines encompassed 4 CQs, 7 background questions (BQs), and 14 future research questions (FRQs). A significant revision in the 2022 edition pertained to axillary management after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in CQ2. The primary aim of the 2022 JBCS Clinical Practice Guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations to empower patients and healthcare professionals in making informed decisions regarding surgical treatment for breast cancer.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy is effective for the local management of oligometastases (at most five metastases) with a benefit in survival and local control. Most studies on the management of oligometastases focus on all oligometastatic sites in primary cancer and very few focus on a single oligometastatic site. In particular, there are few data on bone oligometastases, which represent one of the preferred sites for secondary cancer locations. This article focuses on the benefit of stereotactic radiotherapy for bone oligometastases of all cancers by histological types, and reviews the results of major studies in this field.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality in men. Each year, approximately 10% of prostate cancers are diagnosed metastatic at initial presentation. The standard treatment option for de-novo metastatic prostate cancer is androgen deprivation therapy with novel hormonal agent or with chemotherapy. Recently, PEACE-1 trial highlighted the benefit of triplet therapy resulting in the combination of androgen deprivation therapy combined with docetaxel and abiraterone. Radiotherapy can be proposed in a curative intent or to treat local symptomatic disease. Nowadays, radiotherapy of the primary disease is only recommended for de novo low-burden/low-volume metastatic prostate cancer, as defined in the CHAARTED criteria. However, studies on stereotactic radiotherapy on oligometastases have shown that this therapeutic approach is feasible and well tolerated. Prospective research currently focuses on the benefit of intensification by combining treatment of the metastatic sites and the primary all together. The contribution of metabolic imaging to better define the target volumes and specify the oligometastatic character allows a better selection of patients. This article aims to define indications of radiotherapy and perspectives of this therapeutic option for de-novo metastatic prostate cancer.

The management of patients with brain oligometastases is complex and relies on specific reasoning compared to extracranial oligometastases. The levels of evidence are still low because patients with brain oligometastases are frequently excluded from randomized clinical trials. Stereotactic radiotherapy should be preferred in this indication over whole brain irradiation, both for patients with metastases in place and for those who have undergone surgery. The decision of local treatment and its timing must be a multidisciplinary reflection taking into account the histological and molecular characteristics of the tumor as well as the intracranial efficacy of the prescribed systemic treatments. Great caution must be observed when using stereotactic radiotherapy and concomitant systemic treatments because interactions are still poorly documented. We present the recommendations of the French society of radiation oncology on the management of brain oligometastatic patients with radiotherapy.

Cancer in childhood represent 1% of all the new diagnosed cancers. About 30% of children with cancer receive radiation therapy, representing about 600 to 700 patients per year in France. As a consequence, paediatric cancers with synchronous metastasis is a very rare situation in oncology, with usually poor standard of care. However, considerable efforts are made by paediatric oncology scientific societies to offer trials or treatment consensus despite these rare situations. The article proposes to synthesize the radiotherapy management of both primary tumour and synchronous metastasis in the most "common" childhood or adolescent cancers.

Clinical trials have reported the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) advanced solid tumors. The accumulated evidence of tumor agnostic agent has been made since PD-1 inhibitor was approved and used in clinical practice. Therefore, we have revised the guideline "Japan Society of Clinical Oncology provisional clinical opinion for the diagnosis and use of immunotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair tumors, cooperated by Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, First Edition".

To provide guidance to clinicians regarding the use of systemic therapy for melanoma.

Metastatic lung cancer classically portends a poor prognosis. The management of metastatic lung cancer has dramatically changed with the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapy and due to a better understanding of the oligometastatic process. In metastatic lung cancers, radiation therapy which was only used with palliative intent for decades, represents today a promising way to treat primary and oligometastatic sites with a curative intent. Herein we present through a literature review the role of radiotherapy in the management of synchronous metastatic lung cancers.

To evaluate the combination of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and endometrial cytology test (ECT) as a potential diagnostic strategy for endometrial cancer and endometrial precancerous lesions in postmenopausal patients.

Beyond classical palliative-intent irradiation schemes, there are increasing data suggesting a benefit for intensive locoregional treatments in metastatic gynecological cancers. Such approach aims at avoiding local symptoms related to tumor progression, but may also improve survival outcome by shrinking tumor burden to a microscopic state. This strategy is rarely considered upfront (in highly selected patients with very limited oligometastatic disease), but rather after systemic treatment. In case of tumor response (especially if complete response) of the metastatic sites, pelvic±para-aortic radiotherapy can be considered in combination with a brachytherapy boost to obtain long-term local control, in particular in cervical or vaginal cancer patients. Such approach seems particularly relevant when there is isolated persistence or progression of macroscopic disease within the pelvis. In parallel, there is also an increasing place for radiotherapy of oligo-metastatic sites. We review the literature on the place of radiotherapy in the management of cancers of the cervix and metastatic endometrial cancer.

This clinical practice guideline from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) provides an evidence-based summary and recommendations regarding the role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the management of early esophageal and gastric cancers. It is accompanied by the document subtitled "Methodology and Review of Evidence," which provides a detailed account of the methodology used for the evidence review. This guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework and specifically addresses the role of ESD versus EMR and/or surgery, where applicable, for the management of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) and their corresponding precursor lesions. For ESCC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >15 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions ≤15 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for such patients with ESCC, whenever possible. For EAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well-differentiated, nonulcerated cancer >20 mm, whereas in patients with similar lesions measuring ≤20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. For GAC, the ASGE suggests ESD over EMR for patients with early-stage, well- or moderately differentiated, nonulcerated intestinal type cancer measuring 20 to 30 mm, whereas for patients with similar lesions <20 mm, the ASGE suggests either ESD or EMR. The ASGE suggests against surgery for patients with such lesions measuring ≤30 mm, whereas for lesions that are poorly differentiated, regardless of size, we suggest surgical evaluation over endoscopic approaches.
