Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the value of high field-strength intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI)-guided stereotactic biopsy in the surgery of intracranial space-occupying lesions.
Methods: A total of 87 patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy of intracranial lesions in the Peking University International Hospital from March 2016 to August 2018 were retrospectively surveyed; among these, 50 patients underwent MRI-guided stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell frame (iMRI group) and 37 cases received traditional stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell frame (control group). The accuracy rates and complications of the two groups were compared.
Results: A 100% positive diagnosis was observed in all cases ( = 50) in the iMRI group. In 4 cases, the biopsy site was clearly found to have deviated from the target point, and the biopsy was performed again. The control group had 33 cases (86.5%) with positive diagnosis. No severe complications like neural functional deficit were observed in the iMRI group, while two patients developed bleeding at the puncture site (1 case receiving surgery to remove the hematoma) in the control group. There were no deaths in either group.
Conclusion: iMRI-assisted stereotactic biopsy can confirm the target position and adjust the puncture path in real time. Compared to the traditional stereotactic biopsy technique, the iMRI method has a higher positive diagnostic rate, though surgical trauma and complications have no significant difference.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for lung cancer involves complex multileaf collimator (MLC) motion, which increases sensitivity to interplay effects with tumour motion. Current dynamic conformal arc methods address this issue but may limit the achievable dose distribution optimisation compared with standard VMAT. This study examined the clinical utility of a VMAT technique with monitor unit limits (VMATliMU) to mimic conformal arc delivery and reduce interplay effects while maintaining plan quality.

Background: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery in patients with metastatic primary sarcoma. However, data describing tumor response in relation to the given radiotherapy dose is lacking. Therefore, this study aims at analyzing efficacy and dose-response relationship in a retrospective cohort.

Abnormal accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting TDP-43 offer potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases. However, efficient and safe delivery of siRNAs to the central nervous system (CNS) remains a critical challenge.

Introduction: Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy under MRI control has emerged as a safe and efficient alternative to microsurgery in epilepsy and neurooncology procedures. Yet it has been used only recently in seldom European centers. Here, we report our 4 years' experience with LITT in children (complications, epileptic and oncologic outcomes).

BACKGROUND Treatment of metastatic vasoactive intestinal peptide tumors (VIPoma) is challenging and requires a careful multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal disease control. We present a case of metastatic VIPoma with recurring episodes of life-threatening diarrhea necessitating multiple intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. CASE REPORT A 54-year-old man presented with severe watery diarrhea and metabolic acidosis with MRI showing a necrotic pancreatic body mass, and multiple liver lesions.
