Definitive treatment of lung cancer with radiotherapy is challenging, as respiratory motion and anatomical changes can increase the risk of severe off-target effects during radiotherapy. Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is an evolving approach that enables timely modification of a treatment plan during the interfraction of radiotherapy, in response to physiologic or anatomic variations, aiming to improve the dose distribution for precise targeting and delivery in lung cancer patients. The effectiveness of online ART depends on the seamless integration of multiple components: sufficient quality of linear accelerator-integrated imaging guidance, deformable image registration, automatic recontouring, and efficient quality assurance and workflow. This review summarizes the present status of online ART for lung cancer, including key technologies, as well as the challenges and areas of active research in this field.

OBJECTIVE To explore the value of providing pharmaceutical service related to risdiplam in direct-to-patient (DTP) pharmacies. METHODS The follow-up data of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients who purchased and used risdiplam from Shangyao Yunjiankang Yiyao Pharmacy (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. from May 2021 to January 2023 were collected. The medication information, therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of adverse events were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 42 prescriptions were checked by pharmacists in the DTP pharmacies, and 7 prescriptions were found to be unreasonable (16.7%, 7/42), which were corrected after the timely intervention. During the follow-up management, pharmacists replied to 4 patients (9.5%, 4/42) regarding medication consultation about medication requirements and adverse events. Two patients with type Ⅰ SMA experienced adverse events: one of them presented with fever and the other presented with skin dryness with darkening. Both of them were grade Ⅰ toxic reactions and generally did not require clinical treatment. Considering that the patient sustained low-grade fever for a long time, the pharmacist suggested symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the doctor. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacists in DTP pharmacies conducting follow-up management of risdiplam use for rare disease SMA patients can help promote rational, standardized medication for patients.
