PET-MRI for evaluation of response to radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the diagnostic test accuracy of positron emission tomography and a magnetic resonance imaging scan (PET-MRI) fusion in evaluating tumor response after radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Methods: Patients treated at two institutes between January 2008 and December 2016 were studied retrospectively. Re-evaluation by positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in a non-concurrent way 4-8 weeks after treatment.

Radioisotope-guided Lymphadenectomy for Pelvic Lymph Node Staging in Patients With Intermediate- and High-risk Prostate Cancer (The Prospective SENTINELLE Study).

Purpose: Our aim was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy-guided lymph node dissection compared to extended pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study at 3 tertiary centers in France between February 2012 and May 2019. Eligible patients had clinically localized intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.

The Management of a Comprehensive Cancer Center during the First Six Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the South of France: Lessons from the Paoli-Calmettes Institute's Experience.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was rapidly established that cancer patients have an increased risk of developing severe forms of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to a backlog of cancer diagnostics and immunosuppressive treatments. Cancer centers had to quickly adapt to continue cancer therapies despite the high infection risks and major disruptions in the French healthcare system. We described and analyzed the impact of the pandemic in our institution: management adjustments, COVID-19 infection rates in patients and staff, and impacts on clinical activities and finances during the first wave of the pandemic from March to September 2020.

Brachytherapy for oligometastatic prostate cancer to the penis.

The origin of penile metastases is in 70% of cases from primary pelvic cancers (genitourinary and recto-sigmoid primary tumors). The prognosis is poor and it is often associated with synchronous bone metastases at the time of diagnosis. We present the case of a 61-year-old patient who developed a penile induration 7 years after radical prostatectomy followed by adjuvant external beam radiation therapy for high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma.
