Radiotherapy of prostate cancer in renal transplant recipients: single-center experience.

This study analyzed the long-term outcomes of localized prostate cancer in renal transplant recipients after radiotherapy treatment - mainly brachytherapy. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of renal transplant recipients between 2003 and 2016 at a single tertiary center, and identified four patients with high serum PSA level during regular follow-up, 1-108 months after primary renal transplantation. The mean age of patients with detected high serum PSA level with 9.

Periocular Basal Cell Carcinoma Predictors for Recurrence and Infiltration of the Orbit.

Purpose: To present the proportion of patients with periocular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) who underwent orbital exenteration and to evaluate the significance of the risk factors.

Design: Retrospective, comparative, interventional case series.

Methods: Data of all patients with BCC between 2008 and 2014 were reviewed for patient demographics, previous treatment options, tumor localization, and histopathologic subtype.

DNA repair foci and late apoptosis/necrosis in peripheral blood lymphocytes of breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Purpose: Double-strand breaks (DSB) repair and apoptosis are assumed to be key factors in the determination of individual variability in response to radiation treatment. In this study we investigated tumor protein p53 (TP53) binding protein 1 (53BP1) and phosphorylated histone 2A family member X (γH2AX) foci, γH2AX pan-staining and late apoptosis/necrosis (LAN) in lymphocytes from breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Materials And Methods: BC patients were subjected to local radiotherapy with fractionated doses using linear accelerator.

[HDR 192Ir brachytherapy in treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid and inner angle - our experience].

Purpose: First experience and evaluation of relapses in group of patients after surgery with applied adjuvant HDR brachytherapy for recurrent tumor after incomplete excision of basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid and inner angle.

Methods: Patients with recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid in year 2010. In 3 male patients with recurrent finding of basal cell after surgery we applied adjuvant HDR 192Ir brachytherapy.

Radiosensitivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy donors and cervical cancer patients; the correspondence of in vitro data with the clinical outcome.

The reliability of a particular in vitro parameter as potential prognostic biomarker of individual radiosensitivity is still discussed. Therefore, several in vitro radiation-induced cellular endpoints including initial, oxidative and residual DNA damage and the rate of DNA repair were assessed in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from healthy donors and patients with carcinoma of the cervix using the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (the comet assay). PBL from cancer patients were analyzed three times during the course of therapy, prior, in the middle (25-27 Gy) and after the radiotherapy.
