Abstract
Studies on clinical outcomes aim to provide evidence on which interventions work best for each patient in order to deliver the proper treatments and to identify ways to improve the quality and value of care and reduce costs. This compilation of research work aims to report clinical outcomes in St. Luke's Medical Center, Department of Radiation Oncology (SLMC-DRO) on prostate cancer, breast cancer, arteriovenous malformation, pancreatic cancer and recurrent glioma. We compared these clinical outcomes with those of institutions abroad.
