The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of mammographic guided stereotactic fine needle aspiration cytology in 136 patients with breast lesions including mammographic features, cytomorphological findings and nuclear grading in malignant cases. Majority of the cases were predictable correctly by combination of the three modalities of diagnosis viz, clinical examination, mammography and cytology.

Objective: To identify clinicopathologic and genomic features associated with brain metastasis after resection of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and to evaluate survival after brain metastasis.

Methods: Patients who underwent complete resection of stage I-IIIA LUAD between 2011 and 2020 were included. A subset of patients had broad-based panel next-generation sequencing performed on their tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • Holmes tremor (HT) is a disorder that causes different types of tremors and can severely affect a patient's daily life; traditional medications often fail to provide consistent relief.
  • This study examines the effectiveness of a new surgical technique, called MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRIgLITT), focusing on its impact on tremor severity, quality of life (QOL), and adverse effects in patients with persistent HT.
  • Results showed notable improvements in tremor severity and QOL, with patients experiencing a 41% reduction in tremors at 3 months and a 29% reduction at 12 months post-surgery, indicating the potential benefits of this treatment approach.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how certain variables affect the development of brain metastases in patients with oligometastatic disease treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 404 patients, determining that while various factors didn’t influence brain metastases, the primary cancer site and extensive extracranial progression did.
  • The findings suggest that colorectal and prostate cancers have a lower risk of brain metastases compared to lung cancer, emphasizing the need for close monitoring in patients with significant extracranial disease progression.

Online adaptive radiotherapy optimizes a patient's treatment plan to their daily anatomy to account for inter-fraction motion. Daily target and organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation allows for optimized treatments and has been shown to have favorable outcomes in the abdominal region. Adaptive radiotherapy also has the potential to support fine control of dose in re-irradiation to OARs.

Effect of Treatment Delivery Schedule for Patients With Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy: A Population-Based Analysis.

Division of Radiation Oncology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Department of Radiation Oncology, BC Cancer Kelowna, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Electronic address:

Purpose: The optimal SABR treatment delivery schedule in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This population-based study investigated grade ≥2 toxicity rates, local failure (LF), and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with 48 Gy in 4 fractions scheduled every other day versus daily with weekends and consecutive daily without weekends.

Methods And Materials: Between January 2019 and June 2022, treatment records using 48 Gy in 4 fractions were extracted from a provincial cancer registry and grouped by delivery as every other day, daily with weekends, or consecutive daily without weekends.
