Article Synopsis
- * Analysis of 40 pediatric patients revealed that those who were sedated had significantly smaller positional deviations across multiple directions compared to non-sedated patients.
- * Different fixation methods also impacted reproducibility, with head and shoulder film fixation showing better results than vacuum bag plus body membrane fixation for both sedated and non-sedated patients.
Background: Pineoblastoma (PB) represents a great challenge for clinical management due to lack of a specific therapeutic regimen. This study aims to identify relevant prognostic factors and potential treatment targets by mining public databases.
Methods: The clinical characteristics and survival data of PB patients were obtained from the SEER database between 2000 and 2019 for Cox regression analysis and nomogram construction.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Hippocampus-Avoidance Whole-Brain Radiotherapy combined with a simultaneous integrated boost (HA-WBRT + SIB) for patients with multiple brain metastases compared to HA-WBRT alone.
- - Results showed that patients receiving HA-WBRT + SIB had significantly longer overall survival (OS), median survival, and intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS), along with higher intracranial control rates, while adverse events were similar between groups.
- - The findings suggest that HA-WBRT + SIB is a viable treatment option that may improve patient outcomes without increasing risks of complications.
