Salvage Involved-Field and Extended-Field Radiation Therapy in Positron Emission Tomography-Positive Nodal Recurrent Prostate Cancer: Outcomes and Patterns of Failure.

Purpose: The optimal salvage pelvic treatment for nodal recurrences in prostate cancer is not yet clearly defined. We aimed to compare outcomes of salvage involved-field radiation therapy (s-IFRT) and salvage extended-field radiation therapy (s-EFRT) for positron emission tomography/computed tomography-positive nodal-recurrent prostate cancer and to analyze patterns of progressions after salvage nodal radiation therapy.

Methods And Materials: Patients with F-fluorocholine or Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen ligand positron emission tomography/computed tomography-positive nodal-recurrent prostate cancer and treated with s-IFRT or s-EFRT were retrospectively selected.

Benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy according to the number of risk factors in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Indications of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are not clearly defined. We aimed to identify factors predicting relapse in cSCC patients treated with surgery or RT alone and to assess in which clinical setting adjuvant RT was beneficial in term of progression free survival (PFS).

Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients with resectable primary cSCC treated with surgery and/or RT in curative intent, managed at Centre Léon Bérard (Lyon, France) from April 2010 to September 2020.

Carboplatin in combination with weekly Paclitaxel as first-line therapy in patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma unfit to EXTREME schedule.

The standard first-line treatment in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma combines Cisplatin, 5 Fluorouracil and Cetuximab, but many patients aren't eligible. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and the tolerability of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in this indication, mostly in patients unfit to Cisplatin. Paclitaxel (80mg/m2) was administered at day 1, 8 and 15 and Carboplatin area under the curve 5 at day 1, repeated every 28 days, for 6 cycles.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like Syndrome Complicating Pembrolizumab Treatment for Metastatic Melanoma.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a rare condition implicating systemic immune reaction against melanocytes. The pathophysiology is unclear. A genetic predisposition has been suggested as HLA-DR4/DRB1*04 is more common among VKH patients.
