Scleredema diabeticorum is a rare connective tissue complication of diabetes, most typically observed in adults with longstanding type 2 diabetes. Patients develop reticular dermis thickening with a peau d'orange appearance at the upper back and neck that occasionally extends over the deltoids and lower back. While considered a benign disorder, it may signify more significant diabetes and can be functionally and cosmetically impairing with insidious onset, few to no effective treatments, and low spontaneous remission potential.

Purpose: Male breast cancer treatment involves multimodality therapy, including radiation therapy; nevertheless, few men have received proton therapy (PT) for it. Further, heart disease is an established leading cause of death in men, and radiation therapy heart dose correlates with cardiac toxicity, highlighting the need for cardiac-sparing radiation techniques. Thus, we provide a descriptive analysis of PT in a male breast cancer cohort.

Background: Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) have proliferated due to increasing opioid-related deaths. We evaluated acute opioid use changes for 64 patients treated with highly conformal radiotherapy (RT) following a state-mandated PDMP.

Methods: Patients receiving proton therapy (PT) (n=40), intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) (n=14), or both (n=10) were divided into preintervention (n=26) and postintervention cohorts (n=38); records were reviewed retrospectively under an institutional review board (IRB)-approved tracking protocol.
