OBJECTIVE: This study included patients with inoperable primary or recurrent cervical cancer whose treatment plan called for exclusive radiotherapy. The endopoints of the study were to confirm the feasibility of concurrent radiotherapy and paclitaxel in relation to potential acute toxicity and to evaluate if an increase of complete local control might be obtained with the association of paclitaxel...<br/><br/>A Cerrotta, G Gardan, R Cavina, F Raspagliesi, B Stefanon, I Garassino, R Musumeci, S Tana, G De Palo (2002) <i>Eur J Gynaecol Oncol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 23: 2 115-119<br/>

BACKGROUND: The current treatment options for cancer of the base of the tongue and glosso-epiglottic region are surgery, radiotherapy, or a combination of both modalities. Comparisons between different modalities are not common in the literature, and a real standard of treatment has not yet been established. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of treatment in a large series of pat...<br/><br/>C Grandi, M Guzzo, R Cavina, G Gardani, S Tana, L Licitra, N Rossi, C Barbaccia, M Mingardo, D Fallahdar, P Bruno, R Molinari (2000) <i>Tumori</i> <i></i> <i></i> 86: 3 215-223<br/>

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: In order to evaluate the impact of sequential chemotherapy-radiotherapy-chemotherapy on local control and survival, a follow-up study was carried out 12 years after the treatment of 22 patients with FIGO stage IIB-III squamous cell cervical cancer. METHODS: Patients were submitted to three cycles of induction chemotherapy (cisplatin and bleomycin) followed by whole pelvis...<br/><br/>S Tana, L Lozza, A Cerrotta, B Stefanon, G Gardani, F Volterrani, G De Palo (1999) <i>Eur J Gynaecol Oncol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 20: 3 198-201<br/>

Conventional treatment of anal cancer has been the demolitive Miles operation for decades. Radiotherapy has been utilized in a limited number of centers for early cancers only. Radio-chemotherapy has become the treatment of choice for all stages of anal cancer after the first experiences by the group of Detroit and after the confirmation of successful results by many other centers.

Surgery alone, more or less demolitive, is the treatment of choice of vulvar cancers. Cure rates are high for early cancers only, while locally advanced tumors with or without inguinal adenopathies and recurrences have a bad prognosis. The excellent results of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy of anal cancers suggested to adopt the same approach for locally advanced vulvar cancers. The shrinkage of th...<br/><br/>R Zucali, F Raspagliesi, R Kenda, L Lozza, S Tana, F Valvo (1998) <i>Tumori</i> <i></i> <i></i> 84: 2 250-251<br/>

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common tumour of the penis. It is a rare disease in Western countries, and it is often associated with phimosis, poor hygiene or human papilloma virus infection. It could be prevented or diagnosed early in most cases, but, due to cultural and educational reasons, it is often diagnosed late. Nodal metastases are relatively common, but distant dissemination is ver...<br/><br/>G Pizzocaro, L Piva, G Bandieramonte, S Tana (1997) <i>Eur Urol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 32: 1 5-15<br/>

BACKGROUND: Brachytherapy is widely adopted as an exclusive treatment of T1/T2 oral cancer with a high probability of definitive cure. Therefore, any major complication, like mandibular bone necrosis, should be avoided. Many risk factors, either clinical or technical, have been considered in the literature.

The definitive cure rate for clinical stage 1 testicular seminoma is very close to 100%, and prophylactic irradiation of the regional lymph nodes is associated with a low morbidity. Nevertheless, in recent years a "wait-and-see" policy has been proposed by some researchers. We analysed the cost/benefit ratio of radiotherapy (RT) by review of the case histories of 299 patients treated at the Depart...<br/><br/>S Tana, A Cerrotta, G Gardani, M Palazzi, G Pizzocaro (1997) <i>Tumori</i> <i></i> <i></i> 83: 6 918-921<br/>

Percutaneous biliary drainage is an excellent method to relieve the acute symptoms related to neoplastic stenoses of extrahepatic bile ducts. However, survival rates are low and the quality of life of these patients is poor. High dose irradiation--combined with external beams (ERT) and intraluminal brachytherapy (BRT) through percutaneous drainage--allows effective disease control and, therefore, ...<br/><br/>S Tana, A Di Russo, A Cerrotta, G Cozzi, L Lozza, A Severini, F Valvo, M Salvetti, G Gardani (1995) <i>Radiol Med (Torino)</i> <i></i> <i></i> 90: 1-2 124-128<br/>

A series of 191 patients submitted to adjuvant radiotherapy after surgery for rectal and rectosigmoid carcinoma from January, 1975, to December, 1990, has been analyzed to evaluate the incidence of high grade small bowel late toxicity (grades III/IV according to RTOG/EORTC scoring system).

From January 1976 to December 1986, 199 patients with oropharyngeal cancer were submitted to definitive radiotherapy. Survival and local control were analyzed and related to different parameters--i.e, T and N categories, histopathologic grading, tumor location, patients age, and radiation dose. Fifty-six per cent of patients (111/199) died from neoplastic disease within 5 years.

148 consecutive patients treated by two different types of conservative surgery were objectively and subjectively evaluated for cosmetic outcome. In 73 patients, tumorectomy, axillary dissection, external radiotherapy (45 Gy) plus iridium implant (15 Gy) were performed, while in the other group of 73 patients a more extensive surgical approach was carried out: quadrantectomy, axillary dissection p...<br/><br/>V Sacchini, A Luini, S Tana, L Lozza, V Galimberti, M Merson, R Agresti, P Veronesi, M Greco (1991) <i>Eur J Cancer</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 11 1395-1400<br/>

One hundred and twenty-five patients, previously operated for rectal or rectosigmoid cancer, have been submitted to external radiation therapy from 1964 to 1985 on pelvic and/or perineal recurrence (50 perineal, 66 pelvic, 9 both). Fifty-seven per cent received more than 50 Gy, but only 14% more than 60 Gy.

Radiotherapy for invasive cervical cancer involves a high risk of local complications. Classically, the critical structures are the rectum, the bladder and the bony ring of the pelvis. However, endocavitary curietherapy is an important component in the radiological treatment since it delivers the highest dose to the vaginal mucosa.

Xeroradiography of the anterior thoracic wall was performed on 7 patients with Tietze's syndrome. This technique gave a good representation of the rib cartilages which are enlarged in this disease. The complete imaging of all the structures of the thoracic wall allowed also to exclude other possible causes of soft tissue swelling, tumoral growths as first.

Fifty nine stage II-distal (i.e. with involvement of medium third of parametrium and/or vagina), 220 stage III and 5 stage IV cervical carcinomas were treated with radiotherapy alone (combination of intracavitary radium therapy and megavoltage external irradiation on the pelvis) in the years 1971-79.
