Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a reliable, long-term treatment option for degenerative shoulder pathology. However, the functional outcomes degrade around the fifth year postoperation, particularly for internal and external rotation. Long-term radiographic changes have been reported around the humeral stem, depending on the fixation method.

Background: In Europe, induction chemotherapy (ICT) followed by radiotherapy is preferred to conventional chemoradiotherapy to avoid total laryngectomy in patients with laryngeal/hypopharyngeal cancer. In comparison with conventional radiotherapy, bioradiotherapy with cetuximab significantly improves locoregional control rates (LCRs) and overall survival (OS) without any increase in unmanageable toxicity.

Methods: Patients included had untreated non-metastatic stage III-IV laryngeal/hypopharyngeal invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: Our objective was to report our experience and to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of focal salvage stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with post-radiation local recurrence of prostate cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients treated with Cyberknife between October 2014 and April 2017 at our institution for a focal reirradiation delivered to the prostate/prostatic bed for local recurrence after radical or adjuvant radiotherapy. All patients underwent prostate biopsies at recurrence at the time of fiducial markers placement, had choline PET/CT and pelvic MRI.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to describe local control, overall survival, progression-free survival and toxicity of CyberKnife-based stereotactic body radiation therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Material And Methods: Records of all the patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma at the Eugene-Marquis cancer centre, Rennes and the Bretonneau hospital, Tours (France), between November 2010 and December 2016, were reviewed. Radiation therapy was performed as a salvage treatment, while awaiting liver transplantation or if no other treatment was possible.

Article Synopsis
  • Referral Centers for Bone and Joint Infection were established to enhance the management of septic arthritis through teamwork, and the study focused on assessing the effect of the Western France center on treatment outcomes for septic arthritis in the shoulder and knee.
  • A retrospective analysis included 52 patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment along with antibiotic therapy, and the results showed a significant decrease in treatment failure rates after the center's establishment, from 42.9% to 11.8%.
  • The study concluded that multidisciplinary approaches led to improved treatment success, particularly noting that a higher percentage of patients in the failure group had immunosuppression.
