[11C]choline-PET-guided helical tomotherapy and estramustine in a patient with pelvic-recurrent prostate cancer: local control and toxicity profile a…

2010

[11C]choline positron emission tomograhy can be useful to detect metastatic disease and to localize isolated lymph node relapse after primary treatment in case of prostate-specific antigen failure. In case of lymph node failure in prostate cancer patients, surgery or radiotherapy can be proposed with a curative intent. Some reports have suggested that radiotherapy could have a role in local control of oligometastatic lymph node disease. This is the first reported case of [11C]choline positron emission tomography-guided helical tomotherapy concomitant with estramustine for the treatment of pelvic-recurrent prostate cancer. At 24 months after the end of helical tomotherapy, prostate-specific…

Inflammatory Pseudotumor of Mediastinum Treated with Tomotherapy and Monitored with FDG-PET/CT: Case Report and Literature Review

2010

Mediastinal inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare disease with reactive pseudoneoplastic features and a proven capacity for local invasion. The radiographic appearance of inflammatory pseudotumor is quite non-specific and the definitive diagnosis is based on the histological evaluation of tissue specimens. Resection of the lesion is the treatment of choice. However, nonsurgical treatments such as radiotherapy and steroids have been employed in the setting of incomplete surgical resection, tumor recurrence, and patients being unfit for surgery. The case described here is being reported because of the rare mediastinal location and atypical treatment approach including salvage irradiation and mon…
