Article Synopsis
- There is a critical need for new treatments for recurrent salivary gland cancers, with current options being limited.
- A pilot study tested the safety and effectiveness of [Lu]Lu-PSMA-I&T therapy on patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and salivary duct carcinoma (SDC), aiming to include 10 AdCC and 5 SDC patients.
- Results showed that 67% of AdCC patients were eligible, but there were no objective responses; however, some exhibited stable disease for over 6 months, and the study faced challenges with high screen failure rates in SDC patients.
Article Synopsis
- Temporal arteritis, commonly linked to giant cell arteritis (GCA), can also arise from autoimmune diseases or infections.
- A case study highlights a man in his 70s with biopsy-confirmed temporal arteritis who was later found to have meningovascular neurosyphilis.
- His symptoms included sudden monocular vision loss and temporal artery inflammation, initially resembling GCA, but ultimately revealed an underlying neurosyphilis condition.
Introduction: Prognosis of patients with brain metastasis (BM) from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is relevant for treatment decisions and can be estimated with the Renal Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA). The aim of this study is to validate the updated version of this instrument in a cohort treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) without prior local intracerebral therapy.
Methods: Between 2007 and 2018, 106 RCC patients with BM were treated with GKRS.
