Article Synopsis
- * A new imaging agent, AKRO-6qcICG, can be applied to the surface of these tumors and helps surgeons see where cancer cells remain during surgery using near-infrared fluorescence.
- * In studies with patients, AKRO-6qcICG showed excellent sensitivity (100%) in detecting remaining cancer cells, indicating it could be a valuable tool to improve surgical outcomes and minimize additional treatments.
A 71-year-old female visited the gynaecology outpatient clinic with an inguinal lump and lower abdominal pain. Radiologic imaging of the abdomen demonstrated a pelvic mass with a diameter of 11 centimeters. Subsequent histopathologic analysis of the inguinal lump revealed a metastatic lesion of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour.

Purpose: To evaluate the ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after 2 accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) techniques (intraoperative electron radiation therapy [IOERT] and external beam APBI [EB-APBI]) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.
Methods And Materials: Between 2011 and 2016, women ≥60 years of age with breast carcinoma or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) of ≤30 mm and cN0 undergoing breast-conserving therapy were included in a 2-armed prospective multicenter cohort study. IOERT (1 × 23.
Objective: There are widespread shortages of personal protective equipment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reprocessing filtering facepiece particle (FFP)-type respirators may provide an alternative solution in keeping healthcare professionals safe.
Design: Prospective, bench-to-bedside.
Purpose: To compare health-related quality of life (HRQL) in elderly breast cancer patients between two types of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation: intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) and external beam APBI (EB-APBI).
Methods: Between 2011 and 2016 women ≥60 years undergoing breast conserving therapy for early stage breast cancer were included in a prospective multi-centre cohort study. Patients were treated with electron IORT (1 × 23.
