[Electrochemotherapy for multiple cutaneous tumors in immunosuppressed patients].

Introduction: The risk of cutaneous malignancies is significantly higher in immunosuppressed patients compared to the general population. These high-risk skin tumors tend to be aggressive, multiplex, rapidly growing lesions. It is common to see local recurrence after surgical excision.

Assessing the radiation contamination of large areas using advanced technologies.

Military, disaster management and in many cases civilian tasks include surveying of a given section of terrain that is likely to be contaminated with radioactive materials. Such a measurement series can form the basis for the complete recultivation and decontamination of large areas. This survey can take place after an emergency situation.

[Subcutaneous and intramuscular heterotopic calcification of the neck 42 years after radiotherapy].

Radiotherapy-induced heterotopic tissue calcification is an exceedingly rare complication in the head and neck region. We report a patient with extensive, radiotherapy-induced, combined subcutaneous and intramuscular, heterotopic calcification of the neck. An 80-year-old male presented with a 2-month history of severe dysphagia and a painful ulcer on the neck 42 years after salvage total laryngectomy following radiotherapy (total dose: 80 Gy) for a T3N0M0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Challenges in the Complex Management of Neglected Cutaneous Melanomas in the Head and Neck Area: A Single Center Experience.

Familiar controversies in the management of head and neck melanomas are more remarkable in locally advanced cases, and they represent a treatment challenge both surgically and oncologically. In our retrospective study, patients with surgically treated primary malignant melanoma of the head and neck region larger than 3 cm in diameter were included. Five patients met our inclusion criteria.

Clinical considerations of bleomycin based electrochemotherapy with variable electrode geometry electrodes for inoperable, deep-seated soft tissue sarcomas.

The aim of the current prospective pilot study exclusively for deep-seated soft tissue sarcomas (STS) was to evaluate efficacy and safety of bleomycin-based ECT using VEG (variable electrode geometry) electrodes. During a 2-year period, seven surgically inoperable STSs were treated at the University of Szeged, Department of Surgery in Hungary. Electrode placement was determined by software planning using preoperative imaging (CT/MRI) and intraoperative ultrasound.
