Application value of personalized 3D printing vaginal model for the Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy of cervical cancer.

J Gynecol Oncol

November 2024

The 3th Ward of Radiotherapy Department, Guangzhou Institute of Cancer Research, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: To explore the application value of using 3-dimensional (3D) printing (3DP) technology to create individualized vaginal molds for brachytherapy (BT) in high-dose-rate 3D cervical cancer through reverse engineering of needle placement.

Methods: Prospectively, 11 patients with cervical cancer were treated with 3DP-intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) BT using 3DP to create individualized vaginal molds. All patients were performed BT after completion of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).

We describe the case of a 43-year-old woman presented with an 8-month history of intermittent non-specific abdominal pain. She had an Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) inserted 4-years ago and the device was still in-situ. After initial gynaecological assessment, further clinical radiological investigations, computerized tomography imaging showed that the intraluminal part of the radiological foreign body was seen to be possibly perforating the sigmoid colon after having migrated.

Superficial Serrated Adenoma: A Rare Case of Sigmoid Polyp With Malignant Potential.

December 2024

Department of Digestive Disease, Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, Hua Qiao University, Xiamen, CHN.

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman who underwent complete endoscopic resection of a superficial serrated adenoma (SuSA). Due to its rarity and limited case reports, SuSA is often misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic lesion without malignant potential, leading to missed diagnoses. A polypoid lesion was identified in the sigmoid colon during the initial endoscopic evaluation, where it was initially classified as a sessile serrated lesion (SSL).
