Abstract Background Radiation therapy (RT) plays a central role in management of nervous system disease, particular the multimodality low(er) and high-grade CNS gliomas. New strategy that involved Proton Therapy (PT) have been experienced last years. No data are available about re-surgery lesion irradiated with protons. Material Methods We reviewed our single Unit experience Lower-Grade Glioma ...

PURPOSE We evaluated the post-operative pattern of prostate volume (PV) changes following prostate brachytherapy (PB) and analyzed variables which affect swelling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-nine patients treated with brachytherapy (14) or combined brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy modality (15) underwent pre- and post-implant computed tomography (CT). Prostate volume measurements...

Lung cancer is the leading cancer cause of death in the United States. Radiotherapy is an essential component of the definitive treatment of early-stage and locally-advanced lung cancer, and the palliative treatment of metastatic lung cancer. Proton beam therapy (PBT), through its characteristic Bragg peak, has the potential to decrease the toxicity of radiotherapy, and, subsequently improve th...

Both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are very common in skin malignancy. Operative therapy is the first choice at the treatment for SCC and BCC in early stage. After excision for large skin tumor, occasionally we use skin flap or musculocutaneous flap or free flap. At the old patient of Stage III and IV SCC and BCC, sometimes reduction surgery is useful at the combi...

Objective: We wanted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new treatment Oligosmetastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) with multimodal approach including local primary tumor therapy, in form Cytoreductive Prostatectomy, metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), hormonal . Methods: reviewed data patients Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer(OMPC) at diagnosis treated our institutions ADT followed by Prostatect...

Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm of vascular origin that often has a poor prognosis. The majority of cases presents with splenic rupture and hemorrhage. The present study retrospectively analyzed the case of 77-year-old female who presented with diffuse abdominal pain and distension. During laparotomy, a huge actively bleeding spleen was identified and ...
