Published: June 2003

Primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. We describe a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of diffuse large B-cell type with right adrenal involvement. The patient received chemotherapy and external irradiation and achieved complete remission of the disease. We describe the case of primary adrenal lymphoma with a review of the literature on this unusual neoplasm. Primary adrenal lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of adrenal mass.

Background: Guidelines specify steroids as therapy for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, the duration of survival benefit associated with steroids and the optimal dosage of nebulized budesonide (NB) during hospitalization remain unclear.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of hospitalized AECOPD patients.

Objectives: The feasibility of corticosteroid withdrawal (CW) for Takayasu arteritis (TAK) remains uncertain. Two autoantibodies (Abs) are identified against endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) in TAK, determining its three subgroups. This study aimed to evaluate CW using tocilizumab (TCZ) and its association with the Ab profile.

This study aimed to evaluate the visualization of right adrenal vein (RAV) in non-contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and its guiding role for right adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). A total of 237 patients diagnosed with PA who underwent successful AVS procedures from January 2020 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The non-contrast-enhanced MDCT image features of RAV included the degree of visualization and the position of RAV orifice.

Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with about half of cases classified as high risk. Treatment varies by risk level, with high-risk patients undergoing aggressive multimodal therapy. While long-term survival has improved, survivors face significant risks of late treatment effects, including adrenal insufficiency.

Radiotherapy for oligoprogressive disease in non-small cell lung cancer treated with pembrolizumab in first-line setting: a retrospective study.

Transl Lung Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Medical Oncology, Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Institut Universitaire de Cancérologie, CLIP² Galilée, Paris, France.

Background: Oligoprogression (OP) is common in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This study aims to assess the benefit and the safety profile of ablative radiotherapy (RT) for OP in mNSCLC treated with pembrolizumab in first-line setting.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records of all consecutive mNSCLC patients who underwent treatment with pembrolizumab (+/- chemotherapy) in first-line setting and developed an OP treated with ablative RT while continuing pembrolizumab, in a French Hospital from 2019 to 2022.
