Long-Term Outcomes in Head and Neck Paragangliomas Managed with Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy.

Objectives: Head & Neck Paragangliomas have been historically relying on surgery mostly, with worsened quality of life and major sequelae. Conventional external radiation therapy seems to offer an equivalent control rate with a low toxicity profile. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficiency of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in Head & Neck paragangliomas.

Adapted strategy to tumor response in childhood nasopharyngeal carcinoma: the French experience.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively study survival and long-term morbidities of children with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation (CRT). The total dose of radiation was adapted to the response following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: Children with non-metastatic NPC treated in France between 1999 and 2015 were retrospectively included in the study.

Prediction of cervical cancer recurrence using textural features extracted from 18F-FDG PET images acquired with different scanners.

Objectives: To identify an imaging signature predicting local recurrence for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) treated by chemoradiation and brachytherapy from baseline 18F-FDG PET images, and to evaluate the possibility of gathering images from two different PET scanners in a radiomic study.

Methods: 118 patients were included retrospectively. Two groups (G1, G2) were defined according to the PET scanner used for image acquisition.

Re-irradiation of recurrent pediatric ependymoma: modalities and outcomes: a twenty-year survey.

Background: Standard treatment for recurrent ependymomas is not defined. Re- irradiation has been proposed but its modalities and results are still to be explored.

Patients And Methods: From June 1994 to December 2013, 32 pediatric patients with ependymoma were re-irradiated for local (n = 15) or metastatic (n = 17) relapses.
