Purpose: Optimal treatment of retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) remains undefined. Here, we report the feasibility of using high-dose boost radiation (3-4 Gy) to the central part of the tumor in patients with unresectable RPS.
Methods And Materials: Five patients with unresectable RPS were treated with radiation therapy using a central boost technique with intensity modulated radiation therapy.
Purpose: Loddo et al. (Br J Cancer 100:959-70, 2009) established the prognostic significance of cell cycle markers and "Cell-Cycle Phenotypes" in breast carcinoma. This study aims to 1) identify prognostic cell-cycle markers in sarcoma, and 2) assess the prognostic potential of specific cell-cycle phenotypes in sarcoma.

- Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign bone lesion primarily found in the tibia, characterized by the growth of fibrous tissue and variable bone involvement, making diagnosis challenging.
- A case study highlights a young patient with OFD-related pain and introduces a new vacuum-assisted bone harvester technique for more effective biopsy and curettage.
- This innovative method improves the ability for surgeons to obtain tissue samples and perform necessary procedures in cases of OFD.
Ceftolozane-tazobactam (CT) is used for the treatment of complicated infections and for multidrug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteria. In certain cases, simultaneous administration of CT and parenteral nutrition (PN) may be required, but compatibility of Y-site co-administration is unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse the physicochemical compatibility of CT Y-site administered with PN.
