Introduction: Penectomy, whether partial (PP) or radical (RP), are mainly performed for oncological reason. It is a rare but impactful surgery, with significant bio-psycho-social consequences. As some countries moves towards centralization to improve patient outcomes, a demographic analysis of current management in France is needed.

This study aims to determine whether native T1 relaxation time can serve as a useful tool in distinguishing sarcomas from benign tumors. : In this retrospective study, patients with histologically confirmed soft tissue sarcomas and benign tumors were included.

Methods: We conducted a prospective single-centre study including 29 patients who underwent spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the surgeon's request, in addition to CT for vertebral fracture assessment and classification. A 3D T1 mFFE sequence was added to the standard MRI protocol.
Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide (CE) is often used for metastatic prostate cancer, but the actual benefits are not well documented in recent studies.
- A study analyzed the effects of CE on 69 patients, showing limited efficacy, especially in heavily pretreated adenocarcinoma patients, with a PSA response in only 15.8% of cases and differing survival rates based on neuroendocrine marker status.
- The findings suggest that combining different types of metastatic prostate cancer for treatment evaluation may not be appropriate, as CE chemotherapy appears to have a poor risk-benefit balance, marked by high toxicity and low response rates in heavily treated patients.
Introduction: Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) is a novel quantitative and qualitative technique that permits the reconstruction of multiple image contrasts and quantitative maps from a single scan, thereby providing quantitative information and reducing scan times. The purpose of this study is to characterize intracranial meningiomas using SyMRI.
Methods: The study included 35 patients with meningiomas (6 males, 29 females; mean age 61 ± 17 years; range 21-90 years).
