Article Synopsis
- Surgery is the main treatment for nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA), and if it doesn't work, doctors may suggest radiation therapy or another surgery.
- A study looked at 256 patients over many years to see how well these treatments worked and found that radiation after surgery helped patients live longer without the cancer coming back.
- The results showed that waiting and monitoring might be a good choice since radiation treatment after surgery didn't work better than radiation given later if the cancer returned.
Background: Neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is debated for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). This retrospective study assessed the impact of NAT on R0 rate and survival for BRPC patients in comparison with upfront surgery (US).
Material And Methods: Between 2010 and 2017 patient records for all consecutive patients treated for BRPC according to NCCN 2017 were reviewed.
Background: Advances in intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) have led to dramatically reduced planning target volume (PTV) margins. However, tumor growth between planning and treatment may lead to treatment failure. Our purpose was to assess the kinetics of tumor growth before SRS for brain metastases.

Objective: To describe the surgical technique of the V-Y cutaneous supra-fascial (modified) gluteal advancement flaps for reconstruction after radical vulvectomy and to assess the outcome of patients according to their clinical characteristics.
Methods: Between January 2006 and July 2012, 36 V-Y flaps were performed in 21 patients to cover the defect after radical surgery of primary vulvar cancers. Surgery duration, blood loss, hospital stay, and wound healing were assessed according to patient age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and the initial defect size.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess if FDG-PET could guide dose prescription heterogeneity and decrease arbitrary location of hotspots in SBRT.
Methods: For three patients with stage I lung cancer, a CT-simulation and a FDG-PET were registered to define respectively the PTVCT and the biological target volume (BTV). Two plans involving volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) were calculated.
Objective: To describe delays in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in patients treated by radiotherapy from the first abnormal imaging to the first day of treatment.
Patients And Methods: Our retrospective single-center study included all patients treated for primary lung cancer in our center receiving radiotherapy alone or in association to chemotherapy or surgery, between 1st May and 15th September 2011.
Results: We included 40 patients.
Objectives: We assessed survival and compared clinical and pathological prognostic factors of women with invasive cervical cancer according to the age in order to define a cutoff point where screening should become useless.
Methods: The survival of 308 women with invasive cervical cancer treated at Bordeaux University Hospital between 1976 and 1996 was evaluated on December 31, 2000. Kaplan-Meier survival curves calculated with regard to age were compared by the log-rank test.
