Purpose: Given the lack of standardisation in gynecological cancer reirradiation, the Gyneacologial Radiation Oncology (GINECOR) working group on behalf of the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR), works towards to inquire the current state of reirradiation practices among the radiation oncology departments in Spain.
Methods: An online 37-question survey was sent to all GINECOR members, representing most Spanish centers. The survey addressed general aspects of reirradiation, including experience, reirradiation sites, and techniques used.
Article Synopsis
- Radiation recall reaction (RRR) is a rare inflammatory condition that occurs in areas previously exposed to radiation, and this study focuses on cases triggered by the chemotherapy combination of gemcitabine-docetaxel in pediatric patients.
- A retrospective analysis of 21 children treated with G/D and prior radiotherapy from 2010 to 2022 revealed that 76.2% experienced RRR, primarily affecting the deeper skin layers after two cycles of treatment.
- The findings suggest higher rates of RRR than previously documented, particularly with larger radiation volumes and shorter intervals between radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and indicate a risk of recurrence with re-exposure to G/D.
Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
- Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
- The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.
Purpose: Inborn errors of neurotransmitters are rare monogenic diseases. In general, conventional neuroimaging is not useful for diagnosis. Nevertheless, advanced neuroimaging techniques could provide novel diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers.

Here, we present a meta-analysis of the published literature on oncological outcomes in these patients and determine trends in postoperative management.
Methods: MEDLINE and PubMed were used for literature searches.
