Stereotactic body radiation therapy in primary liver tumor: Local control, outcomes and toxicities.

Objective: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a therapeutic option in the guidelines for liver primaries after standard strategies like surgery or thermoablation have failed. To assess its efficacy and safety, we reviewed all patients treated by SBRT for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over a six-year period.

Methods And Materials: The study included all patients treated by SBRT for HCC between April 2015 and November 2021 in the University Cancer Institute at Toulouse-Oncopole.

Impact of Long-term Storage in 4% Formaldehyde on Immunophenotypic Markers in Glutaraldehyde-treated Bovine Pericardium.

Bovine pericardium (BP) is widely used as a biomaterial for tissue engineering. Glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde are commonly employed in the reticulation processes to enhance the material's resistance and preservation. In this study, we assessed the impact of long-term storage in 4% formaldehyde on the quantitative expression of immunophenotypic markers in glutaraldehyde-treated BP.

A Quality Control Study on Involved Node Radiation Therapy in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Lymphoma Study Association/Fondazione Italiana Linfomi H10 Trial on Stages I and II Hodgkin Lymphoma: Lessons Learned.

Purpose: Involved node radiation therapy (INRT) was introduced in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Lymphoma Study Association/Fondazione Italiana Linfomi H10 trial, a large multicenter trial in early-stage Hodgkin Lymphoma. The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of INRT in this trial.

Methods And Materials: A retrospective, descriptive study was initiated to evaluate INRT in a representative sample encompassing approximately 10% of all irradiated patients in the H10 trial.
