Background: Image-guided percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB) may lead to major complications requiring hospitalization. This study aims to evaluate the rate of major PLB complications and determine a predictive computed tomography (CT) score to define patients requiring hospitalization due to these complications.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included all PLBs performed from July 2019 to December 2020 in Nimes University Hospital, France.
Background: A nation-wide study recently published the dose reference levels for the main CT-guided interventional procedures in 5001 patients. We assessed the impact of patient's age, sex and targeted organ on the patient dose during thoracic and abdominopelvic biopsies and punctures/drainages.
Patients And Methods: Data were extracted from the previous nationwide study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate the relationship between treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and intestinal microbiota, particularly focusing on Colibactin-producing E. coli (CoPEC), in patients with mid and low rectal cancer.
- A prospective clinical study involving 200 patients will collect and analyze stool samples at different stages of treatment to evaluate microbiota composition and detect CoPEC, while also assessing tumour response and survival outcomes.
- The research has ethical approval and aims to identify factors that could help tailor treatment strategies for rectal cancer patients.
Background: Percutaneous cryoablation with liquid nitrogen is a new technique being used in the treatment of some malignant tumors. Our objective was to assess its feasibility in the ablation of tumor lesions of various sizes and locations.
Methods: This retrospective, monocentric study included all consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous cryoablation with liquid nitrogen between December 2019 and March 2021.
