The state-of-the-art technic of stereotactic radioablation for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias: An overview.

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia (VT), stand as a significant threat to health, often leading to mortality and sudden cardiac death. While conventional treatments for VT exhibit efficacy, cases of refractory VT pose challenges. Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation (STAR) offers a novel approach, delivering precise high-dose radiation to well-defined targets with minimal collateral damage.

Malignant transformation of tailgut cyst to squamous cell carcinoma, a rare case with poor outcome.

Tailgut cyst, a type of retro-rectal cyst, is a rare condition requiring evaluation for malignant transformation. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in the retro-rectal cyst, in a 51-year-old female who underwent incomplete resection of the cyst and chemo-radiotherapy, subsequently became locally recurred and metastatic.

Adjunctive treatment of myxopapillary ependymoma.

Myxopapillary ependymoma are rare tumors and optimal therapeutic strategy is remained controversial. The main treatments for myxopapillary ependymoma tumors include surgery and radiotherapy. Hence, the present study aimed to review adjuvant treatment of myxopapillary ependymoma, focusing on spinal myxopapillary ependymoma.
