Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to assess the effectiveness of radiotherapy in managing brain metastases and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in breast cancer patients and to provide treatment recommendations based on existing literature.
- A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed for studies published between 1985 and May 2023, focusing on various types of radiotherapy for breast cancer-related brain metastases.
- Conclusions indicate that while specific radiotherapy guidelines show variability based on breast cancer subtypes, stereotactic radiosurgery is generally recommended for 1-4 brain metastases, while whole-brain radiotherapy is advised for multiple cases, especially in symptomatic patients, although treatment plans should be tailored and may include reevaluating local options after several weeks.
Background: BRAF and MEK inhibitors have changed the landscape of treatment for advanced melanoma. Among their side effects, panniculitis has been hypothesized to be associated with better survival.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore the association between the occurrence of panniculitis during targeted therapy and outcome of metastatic melanoma.
Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in men. For localized prostate cancer, surgery and radiotherapy are the standard treatment, with active surveillance also used in low-risk cases. For advanced/metastatic disease, androgen deprivation treatment is carried out.
