Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of the time interval (TI) between hysterectomy and initiation of adjuvant radiation treatment (ART) on overall survival (OS) among women with early stage endometrial carcinoma (EC) using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Materials and Methods: The NCDB was queried for women with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I to II EC who underwent hysterectomy followed by ART. We examined the...
Objectives: Treatments for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are often compared across trials, but trial eligibility criteria and endpoints differ. In an effort to better align trials, the Definition for the Assessment of Time to event Endpoints in CANcer trials (DATECAN) project published recommendations in 2015 to be used in mRCC clinical trial design. We analyzed mRCC trial criteria to determine if DATECAN’s recommendations were followed. Materials and Methods: We compared eligibility...

Abstract Introduction Despite a large number of trials, the role of bevacizumab (BEV) in the treatment of recurrent high-grade gliomas is still controversial. Evidence regarding an effect on overall survival in this context is ultimately inconclusive. At the Department of Radiation Oncology at Erlangen, Germany we treated a large cohort of patients with recurrent gliomas where bevacizumab use was determined exclusively by the health...
Abstract Purpose Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a potential re-irradiation treatment for recurrent intracranial ependymoma after prior radiation therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of repeated SRS in the treatment of recurrent intracranial ependymomas. Methods This is a retrospective study of consecutive patients...
Abstract Objective Optical molecular imaging technology that indiscriminately detects intracranial glioblastoma (GBM) can help neurosurgeons effectively remove tumor masses. Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR 1) is a diagnostic and therapeutic target in GBM. A TfR 1-targeted peptide, CRTIGPSVC (CRT), was shown to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and accumulate at high levels in GBM tissues. In this study, we synthesized a TfR 1-targeted...
Abstract Introduction Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare disease with different therapeutic implications than systemic lymphoma. In this study, we evaluated whole-body 18FDG-PET/CT for pre-chemotherapy imaging of suspected PCNSL. Methods One hundred and thirty consecutive immunocompetent patients were retrospectively included....

Abstract Brain abscess caused by Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a rare, yet serious condition with high mortality if not recognized and treated timely. We present a series of three cases of LM brain abscesses and describe their characteristic radiological appearances which can be considered very typical. LM abscesses frequently present as markedly irregular formations, revealing characteristic worm-like tubular pattern of chaotic curvilinear arrangement. Knowledge of this imaging...

Abstract Aim To assess the impact of age, comorbidities and endocrine therapy (ET) in older breast cancer (BC) patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy (Hypo-RT). Methods From June 2009 to December 2017, we enrolled in this study 735 ER-positive BC patients (stage pT1–T2, pNx–1, M0 and age ≥ 65 years) receiving hypo-RT and followed them...

The nucleosome is the primary unit of chromatin structure and commonly imputed as a regulator of nuclear events, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies have shown that certain nucleosomes can have different sensitivities to micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion, resulting in the release of populations of nucleosomes dependent on the concentration of MNase. Mapping MNase sensitivity of nucleosomes at transcription start sites genome-wide reveals an important functional nucleosome...

Tob2, an anti-proliferative protein, promotes deadenylation through recruiting Caf1 deadenylase to the mRNA poly(A) tail by simultaneously interacting with both Caf1 and poly(A)-binding protein (PABP). Previously, we found that changes in Tob2 phosphorylation can alter its PABP-binding ability and deadenylation-promoting function. However, it remained unknown regarding the relevant kinase(s). Moreover, it was unclear whether Tob2 phosphorylation modulates the transcriptome and whether the phosphorylation...

Hepatotoxicity is historically the 3rd most common reason for drug withdrawal and toxicity-related discontinuation of treatment. This study was aimed at determining the incidence and the onset of hepatotoxicity and at evaluating the relationship of some risk factors for hepatotoxicity among Human Immunodeficiency Virus- (HIV-) positive, tuberculosis (TB), and HIV/TB patients on treatment. This was a prospective follow-up study involving 125 participants from the HIV/AIDS and TB treatment centres...

Cervical deformity (CD) is a kind of disorder influencing cervical alignment. Although the incidence of CD is not high, this deformity can cause not only pain but also difficulties in daily activities such as swallowing and maintaining upright position. Even though the common cause of cervical deformity is still controversial, previous studies divided CD into congenital deformity and secondary deformity; secondary deformity includes iatrogenic and noniatrogenic deformity according to pathogenic factors....
Aim. We wish to investigate the therapeutic potential of a single-session high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on the rotator cuff lesions with shoulder stiffness. Patients and Methods. Thirty-seven patients afflicted with rotator cuff lesions with shoulder stiffness were randomized to receive either shockwave or sham treatment based on statistical randomization. In the shockwave group, we used Orthospec™ Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy 3000 impulse 24 kV (0.32 mJ/mm2) focused at...
