Purpose: Pediatric low-grade tectal gliomas are rare, indolent tumors of the brain stem. We reviewed outcomes of pediatric patients who received a diagnosis of low-grade tectal gliomas and report dosimetric parameters for those receiving radiation therapy (RT).
Methods And Materials: We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric patients (age <18 years) at our institution diagnosed with a low-grade glioma between 1993 and 2020 (n = 288).
Purpose: An effective didactic curriculum is a cornerstone for a successful residency program, as it is the basis upon which residents acquire the necessary knowledge and perspective to provide high-quality, evidence-based care. Here we describe our success in creating a standardized curriculum in clinical radiation oncology - one that was well-received and led to significantly improved performance on the national in-service examination.
Methods And Materials: One-hundred and fifty topics were outlined in accordance with the American Board of Radiology; to accommodate this breadth of material, didactic frequency was increased from biweekly to daily.
Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a particularly rare presentation of prostate cancer. Here we report a rare clinical case of surgically identified peritoneal carcinomatosis at the time of a planned robotic prostatectomy in a patient with a history of prostatic urethral lift procedure.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man, with a history of urinary retention managed with tamsulosin, presented to his local urologist.
