Clinical features of metaplastic breast carcinoma: A single-center experience.

Aim: Metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is a rare subtype with unusual clinical features. We aimed to analyze treatment results and define patients' characteristic features in our large MBC patient series.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-six patients with early MBC who received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in our center were included in the study.

Intracranial meningioma: Experience with stereotactic radiotherapy.

Purpose: Definitive radiotherapy is a treatment option for patients with inoperable meningiomas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of stereotactic radiotherapy as first-line treatment for intracranial meningiomas that were diagnosed radiologically.

Methods: Between January 2010 and June 2016, 56 patients with intracranial meningioma treated with Cyberknife- based Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) or hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (hFSRT) were included.

Whole Brain Radiotherapy Combined with Stereotactic Radiosurgery versus Stereotactic Radiosurgery Alone for Brain Metastases.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) combined with streotactic radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone for patients with brain metastases.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study that evaluated the results of 46 patients treated for brain metastases at Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Radiation Oncology Department, between January 2012 and January 2015.

Treatment of recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma with external radiotherapy in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease: a case report and review of the literature.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease, a multisystem familial cancer syndrome, is inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait. Common manifestations of the disease are retinal, cerebellar and medullary hemangioblastomas; renal cysts and carcinomas; pancreatic cysts; pheochromocytoma; and papilllary cystadenoma of the epididym. We report the case of a 40-year-old man with type I von Hippel-Lindau disease treated with external radiotherapy for recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma.

Value of axillary lymphoscintigraphy in patients with operated breast carcinoma.

Purpose: To evaluate axillary dissection with axillary lymphoscintigraphy (ALS) in postoperative patients with breast carcinoma and its role in adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Additionally, to define axillary dissection as complete and incomplete with ALS and to correlate it with the number of removed lymph nodes.

Material And Methods: In the last two years, 121 women were studied four weeks after operation.
