Early image acquisition Ga-FAPI-46-PET/CT in prone position is promising in the workup of rectosigmoid and anal carcinoma.

Purpose: To overcome difficulties with regard to anatomic discrimination of intrapelvic tumors and non-specific intrapelvic uptake (i.e. excreted activity in the urinary bladder) by early acquisition of FAPI-PET in prone position.

A comparison between two image reconstructions on the measures of prostate-specific membrane antigen-positive tumor volume in 18F-PSMA-JK-7-PET/computed tomography.

Objectives: Tumor volume in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA-TV)-PET/computed tomography (CT) has shown an emerging impact for prognosis and response evaluation in patients with prostate cancer. We evaluated the robustness of different PSMA-TV delineation methods.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 18F-JK-7-PSMA-PET/CT performed on the same scanner were analyzed.

Below-the-Radar: A Case of Extensive Osseous Metastasis of Prostate Cancer Confined Exclusively to One Lower Limb.

Osseous metastases are a common finding in prostate cancer, usually affecting the central skeleton. Metastases in the peripheral skeleton are less frequent but can occur as isolated findings as well. Therefore, imaging protocols limited to the trunk may miss such lesions and extended range (total-body) PSMA-PET/CT may be helpful for comprehensive evaluation, especially when peripheral metastases are suspected, for example, due to clinical symptoms.

Closed-Incision Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy after Resection of Soft-Tissue Tumors Reduces Wound Complications: Results of a Randomized Trial.

Background: Wound healing after resection of large soft-tissue tumors is often impaired by large dead space and fluid collection. Recently, the authors were able to show an association of wound complications with worse oncologic outcome in soft-tissue sarcomas. The aim of the study was to examine the value of closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy on postoperative wound drainage and wound complications after soft-tissue tumor resection.

Risk Factors for Occurrence and Relapse of Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

The diagnosis and prognostic outcome of STS pose a therapeutic challenge in an interdisciplinary setting. The treatment protocols are still discussed controversially. This systematic meta-analysis aimed to determine prognostic factors leading to the development and recurrence of STS.
