Article Abstract

Local recurrence after rectal cancer surgery is often difficult to treat because there are few effective treatments. In this study, we report a case of parastomal and perineal recurrence after Miles' surgery in an elderly patient who had a favorable outcome after laparoscopic surgery and radiation therapy. Our results suggest that a combination of minimally invasive treatment may be effective in elderly patients and after polysurgery.

Purpose: Screening and diagnosing ISUP ≥ 2 prostate cancer is challenging. This study aimed to determine whether canine detection could be beneficial addition to the ISUP ≥ 2 prostate cancer diagnostic protocol by creating a decision-making algorithm for men with suspected prostate cancer.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study at two urology institutions and a French veterinary school, including men with a suspicion of prostate cancer from November to April 2023, which were divided into two groups according to their prostate biopsy results.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit, Gastroenterology Department, Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR-SantPau), Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Objective: Chlamydia trachomatis is a prevalent cause of infectious proctitis, often misdiagnosed as cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to describe the main clinical symptoms, together with endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis proctitis in the general population.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a single institution, identifying all cases of proctitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, detected by real-time PCR in rectal biopsy or anal smear, with endoscopic assessment.

The accuracy of surface imaging in detecting secondary patient motion caused by pitch and roll corrections in pelvic radiotherapy.

September 2025

Department of Biomedical Technology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere University, Korkeakoulunkatu 8, 33720 Tampere, Finland; School of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Jan Smutslaan 1, 2050 Braamfontein, South Africa.

Background And Objective: Correction of rotational setup errors by tilting the treatment couch improves target dose accuracy and prevents healthy tissue overdosage in external beam radiotherapy. However, couch tilts may cause secondary patient motion. This study aimed to quantify the secondary motion caused by pitch and roll corrections and to evaluate the feasibility of surface imaging for detecting the secondary motion in pelvic radiotherapy.
