Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a superficial soft tissue sarcoma, and surgical excision the first-line treatment. The aim of this systematic review to provide an update about current indications clinical results regarding use postoperative radiotherapy in DSFP, considering both adjuvant salvage setting. Methods: We conducted literature using main scientific database, including Cochrane library, Scopus, PubMed, for any relevant article topic, we considered all available...
Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule is reported to account for less than one percent all head and neck malignancies. It lacks a designated WHO ICD-O topography code, multiple systems are available staging this disease, which results in unwanted variability subsequent poor reliability data. The aim study was evaluate currently cancer vestibule, including recently introduced classification by Bussu et al., built on Wang's original concept but with clearer anatomical cutoffs....
The primary objective of the SKIN-COBRA (Consortium for Brachytherapy data Analysis) ontology is to define a specific terminological system standardize collection non-melanoma skin cancer patients treated with brachytherapy (BT, interventional radiotherapy). Through ontological characterization information, it possible find, isolate, organize, and integrate its meaning.SKIN-COBRA standardized consortium BT, including 8 centers. Its was firstly defined by multicentric multidisciplinary...
Brachytherapy (BT, interventional radiotherapy - IRT) is a kind of radiation therapy, in which the radioactive source placed nearby or even inside cancer itself. Even though this therapy appears effective and valuable, BT has been facing slow but progressive decline over past decades Europe, particularly Italy. Aims study were to identify practical theoretical reasons why Italy, define vision Italian Association Radiotherapy Clinical Oncology (AIRO) strategy about emerged issues.A...
Historically, several classification systems have been used for brachytherapy, and they were based on the type of clinical purpose, implant timing implant, dose-rate, loading treatment delivery. However, over last decades, there some major technological advancements, including introduction image-guidance possibility to modulate dose delivered, which led authors (in order highlight differences between old technique new approach) label it in a different way by replacing "brachytherapy" with...
Interventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Traditionally, the maximum depth of NMSC lesions considered eligible contact IRT was 5 mm; however, following several national surveys and recent recommendations, such cut-off, thicker than mm may be treated by IRT. The use image guidance in defining actual treating to correctly identify clinical target volume (CTV) prevent unnecessary toxicity paramount importance....
Background/Objectives: High-dose-rate (HDR) interventional radiotherapy (IRT) represents a valuable treatment alternative for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the midface, especially in presence esthetic or functional issues related to surgery. This retrospective study examines clinical outcomes patients who underwent HDR-IRT at our institution. Methods: Patients (pts) with histologically confirmed midface BCC were treated using superficial, interstitial, endocavitary implants depending on...
