Preoperative brachytherapy of early-stage cervical cancer: A multicenter study by the SFRO brachytherapy group.

Objective: To report the results of a multicenter cohort of preoperative brachytherapy (PBT) for treatment of early-stage cervical cancer (ESCC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted among five French comprehensive cancer centers on behalf of the SFRO Brachytherapy Group to examine the outcome of patients with ESCC who received PBT between 2001 and 2019 because of adverse prognostic factors (tumor size >2 cm, presence of lymphovascular invasion, adenocarcinoma).Brachytherapy was followed 4-8 weeks later by surgery.

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Bioluminescence Genes in Reveal Stress-Dependent Regulation of Bioluminescence.

Bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence that arises from a luciferase-catalyzed oxidation reaction of luciferin. Molecular biology and comparative genomics have recently elucidated the genes involved in fungal bioluminescence and the evolutionary history of their clusters. However, most studies on fungal bioluminescence have been limited to observing the changes in light intensity under various conditions.

Locoregional Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Cervical Cancer: Benefit of Dose Escalation Strategies.

Purpose: The objective of this work was to examine the benefit of an intensive locoregional treatment including an image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) among patients with cervical cancer and extrapelvic extension.

Methods And Materials: Medical records of consecutive patients with a metastatic cervical cancer and receiving external beam radiation therapy and IGABT boost in Gustave Roussy Institute as part of their first line of treatment were examined. Depending on tumor sites, patients received pelvic ± para-aortic external beam radiation therapy.

Draft Genome Sequence for the Symbiotic Pine Mushroom Tricholoma matsutake.

We report the high-quality genome sequence of Tricholoma matsutake strain 2001, which was isolated from a mushroom fruiting body in South Korea. The genome has 80 contigs, a size of 162.6 Mb, and an value of 5,103,859 bp and will provide insight into the symbiotic association between T.

New findings on the fungal species from Ukraine, and revision of its taxonomy and biogeography based on multilocus phylogenetic analyses.

Matsutake mushrooms are among the best-known edible wild mushroom taxa worldwide. The representative is from East Asia and the northern and central regions of Europe. Here, we report the existence of under fir trees in Eastern Europe (i.
