COVID-19 pandemic represents a challenge for entire medical world, with profound implications in daily practice, making a compromise between risk of infection with SARS-COV2 and oncological treatment continuing, in conditions in which must be balanced, for each patient, the risk of infection with COVID-19. We are presenting the recommendations of professional societies and actions take in Radiotherapy Department of „Sf. Ap. Andrei” Emergency Clinical Hospital, Galati in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 infection and concomitant with radiotherapy performing, without compromising the quality of medical act.

Small cell glioblastoma is a subtype of glioblastoma, an uncommon, with poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, reports of molecular genetics and immunohistochemistry are required to understand the tumor behavior. We report here the clinical history and results of the molecular analysis of a patient diagnosed with small cell glioblastoma.

In the era of the optimal and the personalized oncological treatments, life expectancy increases, therewith the need of understanding and managing side effects is a challenging task.
The most notable research advances in breast cancer involve new radiation treatments techniques and targeted therapies.
Cardiac toxicity following radiotherapy (RT) is recognized as an important issue. Furthermore, with the prevalent and necessary treatment with anthracyclines and trastuzumab, which carry an independent and confirmed risk of cardiotoxicity[1-3] the additional heart disease risk following radiotherapy must be kept to a minimum. [...]

Synovial sarcomas (SS) are rare. Less than 5% occur in spine, mediastinum, head and neck and at the retroperitoneal level and in approximately 85% of the cases occur at the level of the soft tissues and extremities. SS metastases are not rare, they occur predominantly at the level of lungs, bones and liver. Standard treatment consists in surgery, ideal, in large excision with negative margins, R0 (when is possible). For unresectable tumors, the therapeutic options include CMT and/or RTE [2]. [...]

Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PA) are uncommon
the first case was documented in 1923 by Mandel Staam. Leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma are the most often histologically confirmed incidences. PA tumor is frequently misinterpreted as thrombo-embolism, as its correct diagnosis is difficult. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is superior in providing an accurate diagnosis. Surgery is the only therapeutic strategy which may extend life expectancy. The survival rate in the absence of surgical care is of 1.5 months, survival for 5 years - 6%. In most cases, death occurs by heart failure, and rarely by distant metastases. [...]

According to GLOBOCAN, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide touching woman, with approximately around 500000 new cases and 266000 deaths in 2012; in Romania, cervical cancer is the second malignancy diagnosed in women. Cervical cancer is responsible for 7.5% from the whole female cancer deaths and 87% of these cases are encountered in the less developed regions of the world. The more advanced is the stage of cervical cancer, the worse the prognosis is and the treatment in these cases is mainly palliative with an average survival period of only 7 years as observed in recurrent and/or metastatic cancer [...]

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second as frequency primary liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), arising from the biliary epithelium of the second branch (segmental branch) or the proximal branch of bile duct (1,2). Recent reports suggest that the incidence of ICC varies considerably according to geographical location, and accounts for about 5-30% of primary liver cancers, with an increasing incidence during the past years all over the world (3-6). Radical resection (R0) remains the only potential curative treatment, but the resectability rate is still low because of late diagnosis. In general, prognosis is poor, with a reported rate of 5-year survival, usually below 20 to 40% for patients with potentially curative resection (7).
However, the recent progress in anesthesiology and intensive care, the development of more effective surgical techniques in hepatobiliary surgery, and the advent of new devices for parenchymal trans-section made more applicable aggressive surgical approaches for ICC, improving the resectability rate in the last two decades (8,9).
