Impalement injury of the urinary bladder, especially secondary to rectal impalement, is extremely rare. In this case, a 31-year-old man sustained a steel pipe impalement injury through his perirectal region. He presented with gross hematuria, abdominal defense, and a penetrating wound. On the basis of the computed tomography findings and abdominal defense, we suspected a through-and-through bla...

PURPOSE There are no accepted guidelines for target volume definition for online image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) after radical prostatectomy (RP). This study used cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging to generate information for use in post-RP IGRT. METHODS AND MATERIALS The pelvic anatomy of 10 prostate cancer patients undergoing post-RP radiation therapy (RT) to 68.4 Gy was studied using CBCT i...

A 55-year-oldman presentedwith a 4-day history of rectal pain, urgency, and a feeling of heaviness. He had also noticed thinning of the caliber of his stool. His past history included stage II, T2–3, muscle invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma, diagnosed 10 months previously, for which he had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before undergoing radical cystoprostatectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy...

Bladder carcinoma is one of the most common urological malignancies with many rare histological variants associated various prognosis. The recognition these bladder may be helpful in selecting appropriate therapeutic approach and to predict prognosis patients. We present three such entities urothelial squamous differentiation, cell metastatic which are bad

introduction: this study was designed to evaluate dosimetric parameters such as rectal dose, bladder dose, integral dose (id), homogeneity index (hi) and conformity index (ci) in various treatment plans for prostate cancer. materials and methods: pelvic computed tomography (ct) scans of 27 patients were acquired and transferred to the rtdoseplan treatment planning system. for each patient, 8 co...

Bladder cancer is a heterogeneous disease and ranks as 10th most common worldwide. Urothelial carcinoma (UC) the histologic type of BC majority constitute papillary tumors that are well-differentiated (low-grade). Several genetic changes may occur in bladder cancer, but hTERT promoter mutations its expression has been detected cases transitional cell carcinoma. Numerous researches have led to f...

Studies suggest that anterior beams with in vivo range verification would improve rectal dosimetry in proton therapy for prostate cancer. We investigated whether prostate-rectum spacers would enhance or diminish the benefits of anterior proton beams in these treatments. Twenty milliliters of hydrogel was injected between the prostate and rectum of a cadaver using a transperineal approach. Compu...
