Session for the presentation of Oral presentations on Clinical Research
Background - Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACTRT) followed by surgery and adjuvant systemic therapy remains the management option for locally advanced (T3-T4N+) rectal tumours.
APR remains the surgery of choice for distal rectal tumours which leads to permanent colostomy , loss of urinary and sexual functions and altered quality of life. This colostomy also leads to stigmatization of patients...
Purpose or Objective
The aim of our study is to analyze the long-term results of salvage radiation therapy (SRT) for patients with recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP) using modern diagnostic capabilities of nuclear medicine.
Material and Methods
Biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy – subsequent detectable PSA level after radical prostatectomy...
INTRODUCTION: The QUARTZ trial demonstrated heterogeneous survival benefits of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases inappropriate for surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) which showed a favourable survival outcome with WBRT for those who were younger than 60 years old and potential benefits in patients with...
Abstract
Introduction: Juvenile nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is relatively common in Tunisia. The classification and treatment of NPC have been impacted by the increased rate of early diagnosis and advances in imaging techniques over time. The objective of our work was to study the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutive aspects of juvenile NPC during the period between...
I. Introduction
A major consideration of radiotherapy in children is toxicity. Adults with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPCA) usually receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy with or without adjuvant chemotherapy as standard treatment; however, the rarity of pediatric NPCA patients makes the sequence and dosages of both modalities less clear-cut. Children are noted to be more sensitive to adverse...
Introduction: Determine the efficacy and safety of combining Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) with Salt and Soda Mouthwash (SSM) compared to SSM alone in preventing grade 2 and above radiation-induced mucositis(RIM) in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) patients.
Methodology: From May 2009 to February 2013 all patients with NPC were invited to participate in the study. This is a randomized...

Introduction
Cancer is one of the major causes of death for paediatrics patients worldwide and the recorded incidences tend to increase with time. Low and middle income countries have younger populations and therefore the proportion of children with cancer is significant. Most of these children die from the disease because of the numerous social economic factors including poverty, few...
Introduction:
Radiation treatment delays in the management of head and neck malignancies secondary to anemia and poor nutritional status had greatly affected local control and survival. Immunostimulants in the form of soluble fibers have been explored to reduce the complications of radiation and chemotherapy to allow patients to tolerate treatment better in the hope of improving treatment...
INTRODUCTION: To compare the treatment outcome in terms of survival, treatment related side effects and treatment response of 33 fractions with simultaneous intensity modulated boost (SIMB) versus sequential 35 fractions using helical approach among nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
METHODOLOGY:
From September 2014 to September 2018, a total of 91 patients diagnosed with...
Introduction
Patients with lung cancer are often diagnosed with metastatic or locally advanced disease. Chemotherapy is the main treatment in this stage. Palliative thoracic radiotherapy (PTR) is effective for improving symptoms. Optimal schedules of PTR are not well defined.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of different PTR regimen on oncological outcomes.
Materiels and...
