Some observational studies suggest that the use of pulmonary-artery catheters to guide therapy is associated with increased mortality.

BackgroundWe aimed to identify a five-fraction schedule of adjuvant radiotherapy (radiation therapy) delivered in 1 week that is non-inferior terms local cancer control and as safe an international standard 15-fraction regimen after primary surgery for early breast cancer. Here, we present 5-year results the FAST-Forward trial.MethodsFAST-Forward multicentre, phase 3, randomised, non-inferiority trial done at 97 hospitals (47 centres 50 referring hospitals) UK. Patients aged least 18 years...

Critically ill patients who require mechanical ventilation are at increased risk for gastrointestinal bleeding from stress ulcers. There conflicting data on the effect of histamine H2-receptor antagonists and cytoprotective agent sucralfate rates bleeding, ventilator-associated pneumonia, mortality.

Purpose: MR-guided Radiation Therapy (MRgRT) allows for high-precision radiotherapy under real-time MR visualization. This enables margin reduction and subsequent dose escalation which may lead to higher tumor control less toxicity. The Unity MR-linac (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) integrates a linear accelerator with 1.5T diagnostic quality MRI an online adaptive workflow. A prospective international registry was established facilitate the evidence-based implementation of into clinical...

AimsRadiotherapy target volumes in early breast cancer treatment increasingly include the internal mammary chain (IMC). In order to maximise survival benefits of IMC radiotherapy, doses heart and lung should be minimised. This dosimetry study compared ability three-dimensional conformal arc therapy proton beam (PBT) techniques with without breath-hold achieve volume constraints while minimising dose organs at risk (OARs).Materials methodsIn 14 patients' datasets, seven radiotherapy were...

BackgroundRadiotherapy before mastectomy and autologous free-flap breast reconstruction can avoid adverse radiation effects on healthy donor tissues delays to adjuvant radiotherapy. However, evidence for this treatment sequence is sparse. We aimed explore the feasibility of preoperative radiotherapy followed by skin-sparing deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap in patients with cancer requiring mastectomy.MethodsWe conducted a prospective, non-randomised, study at two National...

IMPORT LOW demonstrated noninferiority of partial-breast and reduced-dose radiotherapy versus whole-breast for local relapse similar or reduced toxicity at 5 years. Comprehensive patient-reported outcome measures collected serial time points are now reported.
