Reirradiation of Utracentrally Located Thoracic Tumors Using a 10-Fraction Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Course: A Detailed Dosimetric Analysis Open
The current investigation is the first to provide detailed cumulative dosimetric data from a cohort of patients comprised entirely of ultracentrally located thoracic tumors. Despite unfavorable anatomic tumor location, given an intimate as…

19 A Rare Case of Parapharyngeal Schwannoma Mimicking Peritonsillar Abscess in a Young Female Patient Open
Introduction Parapharyngeal Space (PPS) tumours are responsible for 0.5% of head and neck cancers. Presenting features can mimic peritonsillar abscess. A differential diagnosis of PPS tumour should therefore be considered in young, systemi…

The role of whole-Body fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in staging and surveillance of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue Open
We present the case of a 79-year-old male, who was initially treated for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) of the right eyelid, and later for disease relapse in the stomach. During follow up, he was noted to have d…

Correlation of clinical outcome, radiobiological modeling of tumor control, normal tissue complication probability in lung cancer patients treated with SBRT using Monte Carlo calculation algorithm Open
Purpose/Background We analyzed the predictive value of non‐x‐ray voxel Monte Carlo (XVMC)‐based modeling of tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) in patients treated with stereotactic body radiot…

Epigastric port retrieval of the gallbladder following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with the reduced risk of port site infection and port site incisional hernia: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Open
GB retrieval through epigastric port following LC has clinically proven advantage of reduced retrieval site infection rate, lower operation time and incisional hernia rate but at the cost of increased pain at 24 h, higher risk of GB perfor…

Management of Salivary Gland Tumours: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines Open
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. Salivary gland tumours are rare and have very wide histological heterogeneity, thus making it difficult …
