DOI: 10.1002/mp.16008
Abstract: BACKGROUND Parallel-opposed lateral beams are the conventional beam arrangements in proton therapy for prostate cancer. However, when considering linear energy transfer (LET) and RBE effects, alternative beam arrangements should be investigated. PURPOSE To investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00383-018-4405-3
Abstract: The first impression after reading this paper is a negative one. Using the word “myth” and “dogma” when referring to an anatomic feature seen and documented repeatedly (hundreds of times) by direct observation, is ludicrous.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000006739
Abstract: Rationale: Less than 1% of breast carcinomas metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis is frequently not recognized especially when the history of breast carcinoma is remote. Patient concerns: A 61-year-old female with a remote… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000020935
Abstract: Abstract During ganglion impar block, the needle may approach the presacral space and the sacrum may be penetrated during caudal anesthesia. Because the rectum is in front of the sacrococcyx and is thus at risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/codi.14336
Abstract: Involvement of the anterior mesorectal fascia (iAMRF) after neoadjuvant treatment leads to either resection of the involved organ alone [extended resection of the rectum (ERR)] or total pelvic exenteration (TPE). The purpose of this study… read more here.
