Purpose: Cranial irradiation can lead to long-term neurological complications, in particular memory disorders. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the impact of irradiation of benign skull base tumours located near the hippocampi on autobiographical memory.

Patients And Methods: From 2016 to 2019, patients with cavernous sinus meningioma or pituitary adenoma treated with normofractionated irradiation were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares the effectiveness of highly conformal radiotherapy (HC-RT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-RT) in treating children with post-operative flank radiotherapy for renal tumors.
  • A total of 79 patients participated, with similar rates of locoregional failure (LRF) observed in both treatment groups, suggesting HC-RT does not increase LRF risk compared to 3D-RT.
  • HC-RT demonstrated better dose delivery and reduced acute gastrointestinal toxicity, making it a more effective option for minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding organs.

We report the cases of two patients who underwent normofractionated radiotherapy for evolutive asymptomatic parasagittal meningiomas. After completion of radiotherapy, both patients presented severe headache and vomiting episodes without papillar edema. We then decided a "wait-and-scan" strategy because of the slit-ventricles, and symptoms regressed spontaneously.

Purpose: Half of the children and adolescents treated for intracranial ependymoma experience recurrences that are not managed in a standardized manner. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate recurrence treatments.

Methods And Materials: We assessed overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after a first relapse in a population of patients from the Pediatric Ependymoma Photons Protons and Imaging study (PEPPI study) who were treated with surgery and radiation therapy in French Society of Childhood Cancer reference centers between 2000 and 2013.

Purpose: Radiotherapy is, with surgery, one of the main therapeutic treatment strategies for meningiomas. No prospective study has defined a consensus for the delineation of target volumes for meningioma radiotherapy. Therefore, target volume definition is mainly based on information from retrospective studies that include heterogeneous patient populations.
