Intramedullary Spinal Cord Lesions: A Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Spinal cord tumors constitute a small part of spinal surgery owing to their rarity. This retrospective study describes their current management.

Methods: Forty-eight patients were treated for an intramedullary tumor between 2014 and 2020 at a single institution.

MRI-Based Radiomics Input for Prediction of 2-Year Disease Recurrence in Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Purpose: Chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) is the standard treatment for non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinomas (ASCC). Despite excellent results for T1-2 stages, relapses still occur in around 35% of locally advanced tumors. Recent strategies focus on treatment intensification, but could benefit from a better patient selection.

[Prevalence and expectations of "alternative and complementary medicine" use during radiotherapy in 2016: A prospective study].

Purpose: Alternative and complementary medicine is defined as any substance or technique of non-allopathic medicine used to improve health and quality of life. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the use of alternative and complementary medicine during radiotherapy.

Material And Methods: A questionnaire was given the last week of treatment to all patients treated for breast cancer, prostate cancer or head and neck cancer in our centre in 2016.

[Rectal cancer radiotherapy: Therapeutical strategy and perspective].

Standard treatment consisting of chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery with total mesorectal excision, resulting in good oncologic local control but high morbidity and poor functional results. The same treatment applied to all patients presenting with low or mid T3-4 rectal tumors could result in overtreatment of small tumors. However, it remains insufficient (or unsatisfactory?) for locally advanced tumors regarding metastatic recurrence rate.
