Mapping of failures after radiochemotherapy in patients with non-metastatic esophageal cancer: A posteriori analysis of the dose distribution in the …
2015
Abstract Background and purpose We aimed to evaluate the patterns of loco-regional failure (LRF) after exclusive chemoradiotherapy (eCRT) for esophageal cancer with respect to planned dose and/or the incidental (unplanned) dose outside target volumes. Materials and methods Co-image registration of CT or 18 F-FDG PET-CT at the time of failure (tf) and at the time of CRT (t0) was performed in 34 patients with LRF. Dosimetric parameters with regard to local failure (LF), nodal failure (NF) and involved nodal stations (NS) were derived. Results Twenty-two patients (64.7%) had LF, the majority of which (95.5%) were located at the epicenter of the GTV of the primary tumor. The mean doses recalcul…

Abstract Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern of nodal relapse with 18 F-fluoro-choline (FCH) Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography (PET/CT) in prostate cancer patients after radiotherapy. Materials and methods Eighty-three patients had a FCH PET/CT at time of biochemical failure. Of 65 patients with positive findings, 33 had positive nodes. This analysis included 31 patients who had undergone prior prostate-only radiotherapy with or without a prior radical prostatectomy. Each FCH positive node was assigned to a lymph node station with respect to the CTV defined by the RTOG guidelines (CTV RTOG ). 3D mapping was performed after each node was manu…
Multiparametric MRI-based Dosimetric Parameters Best Predict Short-term Time Course of PSA After Iodine 125 Permanent Prostate Implantation for Local…

International audience; D90% and V150% of the entire prostate are recognized as the best dosimetric predictors of outcome after 125 I permanent prostate implantation (PPI). The purpose of this study was 2-fold: 1) to determine the relationship between dose-volume parameters of the Dominant Intraprostatic Lesion (DIL) when compared to the prostate and early biochemical outcome after PPI; 2) to define if dose-volume parameters of the central gland (CG), the peripheral zone (PZ) and the DIL could best predict PSA bounce occurrence. The time course of PSA and mechanisms of bounces still remain unclear after PPI. Patients who had a higher dose in the DIL had a worse PSA level at 1 year which is …
Assessment of the interest of the geriatric oncology consultation among French general practitioners
2015
International audience; OBJECTIVE: We assessed the interest of the geriatric oncology (GO) consultation (GOC) among general practitioners (GPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a survey among GPs whose patients had had a GOC in 2012. A questionnaire was sent to GPs. The 1st part collected GPs' characteristics including medical education in geriatrics and GO, and knowledge of GOC. The following parts concerned the GOC and included the cancer type, GOC report and care plan. RESULTS: One-hundred twenty-six questionnaires corresponding to 94 GPs were collected. Concerning the GPs' characteristics, age range 50-59 (44.7%), men (62.8%) and urban practice (79.8%) were the most represented, 80.…
