Cryotherapy is an ablative therapy that can be used to treat localized prostate cancer. In case of recurrence, treatment options are not well-defined, and their outcomes are unknown. We therefore collected all patients treated with radiotherapy after cryotherapy for prostate cancer recurrence in Nantes (France) between 2012 and 2019.

Purpose: In inflammatory breast cancer, radiation therapy intensification is considered a standard of care by some teams, although the level of evidence remains low. We sought to analyze the impact of radiation therapy modalities on the risk of loco-regional and distant relapse.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective multicenter study included patients with localized inflammatory breast cancer treated between 2010 and 2017.
The objective was to investigate the possibility of using ExacTrac X-ray (ETX) for 6D image guidance in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of bone metastasis and to propose a patient management protocol. The analyses were first obtained from measurements on a pelvic phantom and on 19 patients treated for bone metastasis. The phantom study consisted of applying known offsets and evaluating the ETX level of accuracy, where results were compared with kV-cone beam computed tomography (kV-CBCT).

- * Evidence suggests SRT is feasible and can effectively manage biochemical control with acceptable late toxicity rates.
- * The lack of comparative trials and the variability in patient treatment underscore the importance of careful decision-making and advocate for patient participation in clinical trials to better evaluate SRT's safety and effectiveness.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in prostate cancer patients requiring androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), highlighting the lack of clear guidelines for cardiology referrals.
- A systematic cardio-onco evaluation at the Western Cancer Institute found that 20.6% of evaluated patients were newly diagnosed with CAD, often while being asymptomatic.
- The results suggest a significant need for CAD screening in this patient group, as more than half of those evaluated required therapeutic interventions without any recorded cardiac deaths during the follow-up period.
