This study evaluates the benefit of weekly delineation and peer review by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of radiation oncologists (ROs), radiologists (RXs), and nuclear medicine (NM) physicians in defining primary and lymph node tumor volumes (GTVp and GTVn) for head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. This study includes 30 consecutive HNC patients referred for definitive curative (chemo)-radiotherapy. Imaging data including head and neck MRI, [18F]-FDG-PET and CT scan were evaluated by the MDT.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study assessed patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions from mpMRI to improve risk assessment for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) prior to biopsy.
  • - A total of 790 patients with PI-RADS 3 lesions were analyzed, revealing that 19% had csPCa, with significant associations noted for age and PSA density (PSAd).
  • - Results suggest that if a patient's PSAd is below 0.13 ng/ml/cc, especially below 0.09 ng/ml/cc, prostate biopsies may be safely avoided, reducing unnecessary procedures and the risk of overdiagnosis.

Advancements in rotator cuff tear repair have led to innovative techniques for complex cases. In this article, we introduce the "shoe shop" lacing technique, a knotless, side-to-side, and tendon-to-bone suture method augmented with the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) for anterior margin-deficient massive rotator cuff tears. This approach offers simplicity, durability, and potential advantages in biomechanics.

Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising tool for risk assessment, potentially reducing the burden of unnecessary prostate biopsies. Risk prediction models that incorporate MRI data have gained attention, but their external validation and comparison are essential for guiding clinical practice. The aim is to externally validate and compare risk prediction models for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).

Background: The utilization of stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty is on the rise. Epiphyseal fixation leads to radiological bone remodeling, which has been reported to exceed 40% in certain studies series. The aim of this study was to present the clinical and radiological outcomes of a stemless implant with asymmetric central epiphyseal fixation at an average follow-up of 31 months.
