Purpose: To investigate clinical outcome and predicting factors of local failures in patients with colorectal cancer treated for unresectable liver metastases with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Methods And Materials: We restrospectively reviewed the medical records of 67 patients treated with the Cyberknife SBRT system for 99 hepatic metastases between January 2007 and December 2015 in our center. In total, 37.
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality, but mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. The goal of this study was to evaluate coronary artery calcifications via the coronary calcification score in primary hyperparathyroidism patients, to compare with control subjects, and to identify risk factors for high to intermediate risk coronary calcification scores (coronary calcification score >100).
Method: Cross-sectional study of primary hyperparathyroidism patients without a history of coronary artery disease, diabetes, or severe, chronic kidney disease.
Purpose: To describe efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma.
Methods: The records of 77 consecutive patients treated with SBRT for 97 liver-confined HCC were reviewed. A total dose of 45Gy in 3 fractions was prescribed to the 80% isodose line.
Background: Debate on the optimal mode of preoperative imaging in the management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is ongoing and, despite its longstanding use, the precise role of intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) is not well established. This study evaluates the impact of IOUS in the era of high-quality, cross-sectional imaging techniques.
Methods: All patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM in a tertiary care referral centre from January 2006 to December 2013 were included.
