Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how portal hypertension (PHT) affects the development of ascites and the effectiveness of radiotherapy in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- A total of 60 cirrhotic patients who received radiotherapy for HCC from 2012 to 2022 were analyzed, revealing that a high PHT score significantly correlates with an increased likelihood of developing ascites.
- The findings suggest that patients with a PHT score of 5 or higher should be monitored closely during treatment, as ascites can hinder further HCC management options.
Article Synopsis
- Peri-urethral cancers (PUC) are rare tumors, and brachytherapy (BT) is often preferred for treatment to avoid the complications of surgery while preserving the organ.
- This study at Gustave Roussy reviewed the records of 44 female patients with PUC who received BT, revealing a median follow-up of 21.5 months, with an overall survival probability of 63%.
- The research indicated an 80% local control rate with BT, although there was a significant risk of metastasis and noted instances of mild to moderate adverse effects in patients.
Once his specialty has been chosen, and according to his ranking, the new resident in oncology decides on the subdivision in which he wishes to be among the 28 existing subdivisions. Two concern overseas departments and territories: the Antilles-Guyana subdivision and the Indian Ocean subdivision. The oncology residency has its own particularities because of the demographic characteristics and epidemiology of cancers in these areas, but also because of a particular organization of care and university teaching.

As it is a rather short procedure and since postoperative pain is minimal, hypnosedation was proposed to selected patients requiring endocavitary applications as part of their routine treatment.
Methods And Materials: Consecutive patients requiring intracavitary uterovaginal brachytherapy from January to October 2019 were included if they accepted the procedure.
