WBRT vs. APBI: an interim report of patient satisfaction and outcomes.

Purpose: To determine differences in patient's reported quality of life and self-reported breast cosmesis between whole breast radiation therapy (WBRT) and accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) via single and multi-lumen high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for women with early stage breast cancer.

Material And Methods: Patient information was retrospectively reviewed and survey data were prospectively collected for women treated between 2004 to 2014 (APBI) and 2012 to 2014 (WBRT). Criteria for APBI treatments were ER+ (after 2010), N0 (after 2010), T < 3 cm, and post-menopausal.

Tomotherapy for prostate adenocarcinoma: a report on acute toxicity.

Background And Purpose: To analyze the impact of Tomotherapy (TOMO) intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on acute gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity in prostate cancer.

Materials And Methods: The records of 55 consecutively treated TOMO patients were reviewed. Additionally a well-matched group of 43 patients treated with LINAC-based step and shoot IMRT (LINAC) was identified.

Fibro-osseous and giant cell lesions, including brown tumor of the mandible, maxilla, and other craniofacial bones.

Fibro-osseous, osseous, cartilaginous, and giant cell lesions of the mandible, maxilla, and other craniofacial bones share overlapping clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features that may lead to diagnostic confusion and possible misdiagnosis. The value of combined clinical-radiologic-pathologic correlation in the diagnosis of these lesions is paramount to achieving the correct diagnosis with subsequent implementation of appropriate therapeutic intervention.
