The International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean Version 2.

The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica is a region that is key to a range of climatic and oceanographic processes with worldwide effects, and is characterised by high biological productivity and biodiversity. Since 2013, the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean (IBCSO) has represented the most comprehensive compilation of bathymetry for the Southern Ocean south of 60°S. Recently, the IBCSO Project has combined its efforts with the Nippon Foundation - GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project supporting the goal of mapping the world's oceans by 2030.

Correlation of dosimetric parameters obtained with the analytical anisotropic algorithm and toxicity of chest chemoradiation in lung carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and revisit toxicity related to chest chemoradiotherapy and to correlate these side effects with dosimetric parameters obtained using analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA) in locally unresectable advanced lung cancer. We retrospectively analyzed data from 47 lung cancer patients between 2005 and 2008. All received conformal 3D radiotherapy using high-energy linear accelerator plus concomitant chemotherapy.

Prolonged temozolomide for treatment of glioblastoma: preliminary clinical results and prognostic value of p53 overexpression.

We report retrospective data on the feasibility and efficacy of prolonging adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) more than 6 months after chemoradiotherapy completion in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Molecular prognostic factors were assessed. Data from 46 patients were reviewed.

[Carcinoma of the anal canal: state of art, issues in geriatric oncology and molecular targeted therapies].

Since the 1990, chemoradiation has become the standard treatment for locally advanced anal cancer. Recent progress in molecular biology and the growing number of elderly patients invite the clinicians to personalize the multimodal therapy strategy. However, data about anal cancer and elderly patients or targeted therapy are extremely sparse.

Extended and standard supraglottic laryngectomies: a review of 110 patients.

The purpose of this study was to compare functional and oncological results of extended and standard supraglottic laryngectomies. One hundred ten patients with supraglottic carcinoma were treated. A standard supraglottic laryngectomy (SSL), a laterally extended supraglottic laryngectomy (LESL) and an anteriorly extended supraglottic laryngectomy (AESL) were performed on 32, 47 and 31 patients, respectively.

Malignant nerve sheath tumor of the right cerebral peduncle: case report.

Objective And Importance: Schwannomas occurring in the neuraxis are very rare. Usually, these tumors are benign. Primary malignant intracerebral nerve sheath tumors are extremely rare, with only five documented cases in the international literature.

Concomitant chemoradiotherapy in pyriform sinus carcinoma.

Objectives: To test the effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with pyriform sinus carcinoma and to demonstrate the feasibility of an organ preservation approach.

Design: Clinical trial phase 2.

Setting: University Hospital Center, St-Etienne, France.
