A review of parameters influencing the prognosis of patients with stages IV and IIA-B carcinoma of the cervix treated with radiotherapy alone is presented. The effect of tumor diameter, a factor not included in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system, is emphasized. Potential alternative treatment strategies, particularly adjuvant hysterectomy, are addressed.

Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection in Clinical Stage IIA/B Metastatic Seminoma: Results of the COlogne Trial of Retroperitoneal Lymphadenectomy In Metastatic Seminoma (COTRIMS).
Eur Urol Oncol
February 2024
Department of Urology, Uro-Oncology, Robot-Assisted and Specialized Urologic Surgery, University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Background: Radiation therapy and systemic chemotherapy are recommended treatment options in marker-negative clinical stage (CS) IIA/B seminoma. Despite high cure rates of 82-94%, both therapeutic options are associated with significant long-term toxicities.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility, oncological efficacy, and treatment-associated morbidity of primary nerve-sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (nsRPLND) in CS IIA/B seminoma.

Background: The identification of factors responsible for false negative (FN) rate at F- Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography /Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in para-aortic (PA) lymph nodes in the presurgical staging of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of PET/CT technology.
Methods: A total of 240 consecutive patients with LACC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, FIGO, stage IB2-IVA) and negative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or Computed Tomography (CT) and negative F-FDG PET/CT in the PA region, undergoing laparoscopic PA lymphadenectomy before chemoradiotherapy were included.

National Cancer Center/National Cancer Clinical Medical Research Center/Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Cancer Hospital, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Background: This study was to determine the patterns of regional lymph node (LN) spread and the risk factors of retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) metastasis based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hypopharyngeal squamous carcinoma (HPC) to improve clinical target volume (CTV) delineation.
Methods: A cohort of 326 consecutive patients of HPC in a single institute were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent MRI prior to initial treatment, and the diagnosis based on MRI of the LN metastasis was confirmed by all radiation oncologists in the head and neck group during twice weekly chat rounds.

Introduction: Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, is characterized by mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes leading to an increased cancer risk, namely colorectal cancer.
Case: In the context of surveillance colonoscopy, a 40-mm flat lesion (0-IIa+b, Paris classification) was identified and submitted to piecemeal mucosal endoscopic resection in a 64-year-old LS patient with an MLH1 germline mutation (262delATC) and two previous segmental resections due to metachronous colorectal cancer. Pathology raised the suspicion of superficial submucosal invasive carcinoma with poor differentiation.
