There is debate about the optimal management of borderline resectable (bRe) and resectable (Re) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both preclinical and clinical evidence showed that carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) produces superior control on radioresistant histologies compared to conventional photon beam radiotherapy (RT).
DetailsLiterature is lacking when it comes to oncology nursing attitudes in clinical trial involvement. To assess how Italian oncology nurses perceived their attitudes in clinical trials involvement. An on-line cohort observational study was carried out. Data collected included: sex, years of work experience in oncology field and 10 items assessing participants’ self-perceptions of their attitudes in clinical trials.
DetailsThis study aimed to compare the incidence of fat necrosis after accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) vs hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (WBI) in patients with early-stage breast cancer. Data from early-stage breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy between 2009 and 2022 were retrospectively collected.
DetailsAdvances in therapeutic techniques and multimodal approaches have significantly improved the success rates of treatment for pediatric malignancies, with cure rates now close to 80%. This has led to an increase in long-term survival, with 0.10-0.15% of the general population being survivors of childhood cancer.
DetailsWe conducted an online survey to investigate oncologists’ clinical practices and views on palliative care at the end of life in the Italian region of Liguria. The survey included 29 items divided into three sections: participant characteristics (n=6), hospital resources and practices (n=11), participant practices and views (n=12).
