The authors describe 27 cases in which a very particular type of lymphographic image was observed, associating disseminated lesions in all the retroperitoneal lymph glands, and an appearance of "circled" glands of very weak density. This image may be rarely observed in Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin type hematosarcomas. It is frequently observed, however, during the course of angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Whatever the etiology, this image is of particularly poor prognostic significance.

Colorectal cancer with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) carcinoma histopathology is particularly rare in very elderly patients. GALT is characterized by submucosal localization and prominent lymphoid infiltration with germinal center formation within tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This study aims to report a case of colorectal cancer with GALT carcinoma histopathology in a very elderly patient and to provide a comprehensive literature review.

Purpose: The thyroid gland is an organ at risk in breast cancer survivors who receive radiation therapy to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. We investigated the effect of radiation dose to the thyroid gland on the incidence of hypothyroidism in early-stage breast cancer patients treated with CT-guided radiation therapy.

Patients And Methods: We recruited women aged ≤75 years diagnosed with breast cancer from March 2016 through August 2017 at Odense University Hospital, Denmark.

Background And Purpose: The SOFT (Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy of infra-diaphragmatic sOFT tissue metastases) trial assesses the safety and efficacy of risk-adapted MR-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) of infra-diaphragmatic soft tissue metastasis in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT04407897). This paper reports the one-year efficacy analysis and evaluates associations between local control (LC) and clinical and dosimetric parameters.

Epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of anterior prostate cancer.

Nat Rev Urol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.

Anterior prostate cancers (APCs) are a group of impalpable neoplasms located in regions anterior to the urethra, which comprise the transition zone, apical peripheral zone and anterior fibromuscular stroma. These regions are typically undersampled using conventional biopsy schemes, leading to a low detection rate for APC and a high rate of false negatives. Radical prostatectomy series suggest prevalence rates of at least 10-30%, but transperineal systematic biopsy is ideal for diagnosis, particularly where multiparametric MRI is unavailable.
