Hadrontherapy

Benchmarking Geant4 hadronic models for prompt-γ monitoring in carbon ion therapy

Purpose: The real-time monitoring of the spread-out Bragg peak would allow the planned dose delivered during treatment to be directly verified, but this poses a major challenge in modern ion beam therapy. A possible method to achieve this goal is to exploit the production of secondary particles by the nuclear reactions of the beam with the patient and correlate their emission profile to the planned target volume position. In this study, we present both the production rate and energy spectra of the prompt-?

Case-report. Metastases in a low-stage middle-graded HCC in cleared HCV infection, non-cirrhotic liver. Surgical therapy

Introduction
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rare in non-cirrhotic liver. Achievement of sustained virological response
(SVR) reduces even more the risk.
Presentation of case
Liver resection for small HCC was performed in cleared HCV infection non-cirrhotic 62-year-old man.
Methacronous oligometastatic recurrences in intolerant to Nexavar® side-effects patient, were treated by multiple
innovative microinvasive approaches: bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy, thoracic wall resection, laparoscopic
