Abstract Purpose: Previous studies using FLASH radiotherapy (RT) in mice showed a marked increase of the differential effect between normal tissue and tumors. To stimulate clinical transfer, we evaluated whether this could also occur higher mammals. Experimental Design: Pig skin was used to investigate potential difference toxicity irradiation delivered at an ultrahigh dose rate called “FLASH-RT” conventional “Conv-RT.” A clinical, phase I, single-dose escalation trial (25–41 Gy) performed 6...
Abstract Aims Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) has been recently introduced for the management of therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). VT recurrences have reported after STAR but mechanisms remain largely unknown. We analysed in our patients STAR. Methods and results From 09.2017 to 01.2020, 20 (68 ± 8 y, LVEF 37 15%) suffering from refractory were enrolled, 16/20 with a history at least one electrical storm. Before STAR, an invasive electroanatomical mapping (Carto3)...
The Rare Cancer Network (RCN), founded in 1993, performs research involving rare tumors that are not common enough to be the focus of prospective study. Over 55 studies have either been completed or progress.The aim paper is present an overview 30 done through RCN date, organized by disease site. Five on breast pathology, including sarcoma, lymphoma, phyllodes tumor, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and ductal carcinoma situ young women. Three prostate cancer address prostatic small cell...
Respiratory motion negatively affects PET/CT image quality and quantitation. A novel Pulsatile-Flow Ventilation (PFV) system reducing respiratory was applied in spontaneously breathing patients to induce sustained apnea during PET/CT.Four (aged 65 ± 14 y) underwent for pulmonary nodule staging (mean, 11 7 mm; range, 5-18 mm) at 63 3 min after (18)F-FDG injection then 47 afterward, PFV-induced (with imaging lasting ≥8.5 min). Anterior-posterior thoracic amplitude, SUVmax, SUVpeak (SUVmean a...
The abscopal effect describes the ability of locally administered radiotherapy to induce systemic antitumor effects. Although mentioned for first time in 1950s, records effects, considered be immune-mediated, are scarce with alone. However, continued development and use immunotherapy, reports on have become increasingly frequent during last decade. Here, we report a patient advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma who had progressive disease while anti-PDL1 inhibitor pembrolizumab showed an...
Primary uterine leiomyosarcomas (ULMS) are rare, and the optimal treatment is controversial. We aimed to assess outcome prognostic factors in a multicenter population of women treated for primary ULMS.We retrospectively collected data 110 19 institutions Rare Cancer Network (RCN). Inclusion criteria consisted pathology report confirming diagnosis ULMS, aged 18-80 years, complete International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics (FIGO) stage information, information on treatment, minimum...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest has long suffered from its sensitivity to respiratory and cardiac motion with an intrinsically low signal noise ratio a limited spatial resolution. The purpose this study was perform MRI under adapted non invasive pulsatile flow ventilation system (high frequency percussive ventilation, HFPV®) allowing breath hold durations 10 15 times longer than other existing systems.One volunteer one patient known for thymic lesion underwent percussion...
