This article presents an update of the French national guidelines for the management of penile cancer, with recommendations on dose and volume for radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Multidisciplinary management and centralization in high-level of expertise centres is key for the management of this rare malignancy. For patients at high-risk of having micrometastatic disease (stage T1b or higher), a dynamic sentinel node biopsy should be offered as surgical staging and human papillomavirus status should be obtained. Organ-preservation with brachytherapy should be discussed whenever it is possible (tumours limited to the glans). For locoregionally advanced diseases, chemoradiotherapy as primary treatment could be discussed.

Renal cell carcinoma represents the 14th most frequent tumour worldwide, but its incidence is increasing partly due to incidental diagnoses. As a result, these tumours are diagnosed in patients at an increasingly advanced age, often frail and with comorbidities. Most renal cell carcinoma cases are clear cell carcinoma (80 %), with papillary tumours being the second most frequent histological subtype. The standard of care for localized RCC is surgery, with partial nephrectomy or radical nephrectomy being recommended for T1 and T2 tumours, respectively. Thermoablative strategies have been developed over the past decade for patients who are not amenable to surgery and/or with impaired renal function. Active surveillance remains an alternative in the case of small low-grade renal cell carcinoma. Recent research has evaluated stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy as a well-tolerated and effective treatment for small renal tumours essentially for the management of both T1a and T1b tumours. This article aims to report the recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO, the French society for radiation oncology) on the role of radiotherapy in the management of localized renal cell carcinoma. These guidelines describe both treatment planning modalities, target volumes, and follow-up procedures. They also focus on the impact of radiotherapy on renal function, and the specific dosimetric constraints to be implemented.

We present the updated recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (the French society for radiation oncology) regarding the indications and technical modalities of radiotherapy for bone metastases. This treatment is commonly used in the management of patients with cancer. In most cases, it involves relatively simple radiotherapy technique with proven efficacy in reducing pain or managing spinal cord compression. More complex treatments using stereotactic conditions can be proposed for patients with painful bone metastases, oligometastatic disease, or in case of reirradiation. In this context, increased vigilance must be given to the risks of spinal cord toxicity.

Primary vaginal cancers are rare tumours, for which external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy are major treatment tools. Given the complexity of brachytherapy techniques, the treatment should be performed in specialised centres. We present the 2025 update of recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique on the indications and techniques for external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy for primary vaginal cancer.

We present the updated recommendations from the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO, the French society for radiation oncology) regarding the use of external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy in the management of anal cancer. Anal cancer is a rare malignancy with an increasing incidence, largely due to the high prevalence of Human papillomavirus infection. It primarily affects females over 65 years of age. The most common histological type is squamous cell carcinoma. The standard treatment involves a combination of intensity-modulated radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (or capecitabine) and mitomycin. A localized boost dose to the tumour can be delivered either by external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. Recent studies have demonstrated that intensity-modulated radiotherapy helps avoid treatment interruptions, which are considered detrimental to efficacy. However, while radiotherapy achieves good outcomes for T1-T2 tumours without nodal involvement, T3-T4 stages or tumours with nodal involvement are associated with a poorer prognosis. Therefore, concomitant chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil or capecitabine with mitomycin) is recommended for tumours greater than 3 cm or those with nodal invasion. This approach remains a topic of debate for early-stage tumours. Target volumes, organs at risk delineation, doses, and fractionation regimens are discussed with respect to the balance between treatment efficacy and toxicity. Follow-up recommendations are provided to ensure early detection of cancer recurrence and late treatment-related side effects.

Gliomas are the most frequent malignant primary brain tumours in adults. The proximity of organs at risk, the infiltrating nature, and the radioresistance of gliomas have to be taken into account in the choice of prescribed dose and technique of radiotherapy. The management of glioma patients is based on clinical factors (age, Karnofsky performance status) and tumour characteristics (histology, molecular biology, tumour location), and strongly depends on available and associated treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The knowledge of molecular biomarkers is currently essential; they are increasingly evolving as additional factors that facilitate diagnostics and therapeutic decision-making. We present the update of the recommendations of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (the French Society for Radiation Oncology) on the indications and the technical procedures for performing radiotherapy in patients with gliomas.

The process of reirradiation in oncology presents a distinctive set of challenges, wherein clinical decision-making is predicated on a delicate balancing act between the efficacy of the treatment and the risk of severe toxicity. Despite the paucity of randomized and prospective data, an increasing number of clinical guidelines encourage its consideration for patients with local or metastatic recurrence. While awaiting dedicated guidance from international scientific societies, the following publication is based on the guidelines and multicentre reflections of the Recommendations Commission of the Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO, the French society for radiation oncology). It addresses key questions related to reirradiation, with a particular focus on prostate, gynaecological and pelvic tumours.

The personalization of oncology and radiation treatments is becoming increasingly crucial in patient care. Over the past few decades, numerous assays have been developed to predict tumour response and assess the risk of radiation-induced toxicity. These tests have not yet been integrated into routine clinical practice, but recent advances in radiation oncology are paving the way for personalized strategies that consider both tumour recurrence risk and normal tissue reactions. Regarding tumour radiosensitivity prediction, no tests are currently in clinical use, although the radiosensitivity index and Genome-based Model for Adjusting Radiotherapy Dose assays appear to be the most promising, with level II evidence. Development of radiomics has also made it possible to envisage new biomarkers. Prospective studies are ongoing. For normal tissue radiosensitivity prediction, single nucleotide polymorphims in prostate cancer and head and neck cancer patients, and the radiation-induced CD8 T-lymphocyte apoptosis assay for breast and prostate cancers are supported by level I evidence. These tests can be offered prior to the initiation of radiotherapy to tailor treatments based on both tumour and normal tissue radiosensitivity risks.
