Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and remains incurable after metastasis, with a 3-year overall survival rate of <40%.
Case Presentation: A 40-year-old, Caucasian patient with a grade-3 estrogen receptor-, progesterone receptor-, Her2-positive breast tumor and two lung nodules was treated with intramuscular targeted immunotherapy with trastuzumab and oral tamoxifen hormone therapy, together with customized intra-tumoral oncolytic virotherapy (IT-OV) over a 17-month period. PET/CT imaging at 3 and 6 months showed increased primary tumor size and metabolic glucose uptake in the primary tumor, axillary lymph nodes and lung nodules, which were paralleled by a hyperimmune reaction in the bones, liver, and spleen.
Introduction And Importance: An 18-year old osteosarcoma patient with a huge tumor mass at the distal femur and inguinal metastases was treated with the intention to preserve the leg and additionally treat the pelvic metastases locally. Therefore we modulated the technique of isolated limb perfusion.
Case Presentation: Isolated Limb Perfusion was performed as an Extended Isolated Limb Stop-Flow Infusion (EISLI) where the pelvis was included into the perfusion bed.
Article Synopsis
- Emergency radiology requires quick interpretation to avoid negative patient outcomes, and this study explores double reporting as a way to reduce errors.
- The research involved dual reporting of 3,779 imaging procedures over 4 months in a teleradiology practice, focusing on discrepancies and error rates among various imaging modalities.
- Findings showed that double reporting caught errors in about 3.8% of cases, with certain studies, like CT abdomen and MRI head, having higher error rates, indicating that more targeted double reporting could be a valuable approach for improving accuracy in emergency settings.
