Transvascular Radiofrequency Denervation of the Celiac Plexus for Refractory Pancreatic Cancer Pain Management: A Pilot Study https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(26)01039-0/fulltext?rss=yes To test the hypothesis that transvascular radiofrequency (RF) celiac plexus denervation is technically feasible and procedurally safe for pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with severe abdominal pain, while characterizing exploratory clinical outcomes.

Upregulation of S100A8/A9 Potentiates Radiation-Induced Intestinal Injury via MAPK and NF-κB Signaling Pathways https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(26)00176-4/fulltext?rss=yes Radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) is a serious complication of radiotherapy without effective therapies. The alarmin S100A8/A9, a biomarker of gastrointestinal inflammation, is highly elevated following abdominal irradiation (ABI). However, it remains unclear whether it functions as an active driver of RIII pathogenesis.

Predicting Intolerance to Deep-Inspiration Breath-Hold for Abdominal Cancer Radiotherapy https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(26)00172-7/fulltext?rss=yes This study aimed to predict deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) intolerance during abdominal cancer radiotherapy and its impact on residual motion, based on patient characteristics and DIBH performance at simulation.

Comparative Outcomes of Single- and Split-Fraction Low-Dose Radiation in Mycosis Fungoides https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(26)00173-9/fulltext?rss=yes Localized radiation is a cornerstone therapy for early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF), with low-dose regimens achieving high response rates. However, the optimal fractionation schedule remains unclear. Single-fraction (8 Gy × 1) and split-fraction (4 Gy × 2) regimens are widely used, but comparative data are limited. Reducing treatment burden may be particularly important in rural settings, where travel distance can limit access.

Development of the MCA/PTA Diameter Ratio as a Predictor of Response After Superselective Embolization for Plantar Fasciitis: A Preliminary Derivation Study https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(26)01034-1/fulltext?rss=yes To evaluate whether the medial calcaneal artery (MCA) to posterior tibial artery (PTA) diameter ratio predicts pain reduction after superselective MCA embolization in chronic plantar fasciitis.

Imipenem/Cilastatin Versus Imipenem/Cilastatin Plus Lipiodol in Genicular Artery Embolization: Safety and Clinical Success in a Comparative Cohort Study https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(26)01033-X/fulltext?rss=yes To evaluate whether genicular artery embolization (GAE) performed with imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS) followed by Lipiodol (IPM/CS+L) is associated with higher clinical success without increased adverse events compared with IPM/CS alone in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Preserving the injured kidney: A retrospective comparative cohort study of contemporary management strategies at a level 1 trauma centre https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(26)01032-8/fulltext?rss=yes To evaluate and compare renal injury patterns, management pathways, clinical outcomes, and renal function following renal trauma at a high-volume Level 1 trauma center.

Short-course preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer: towards a curative radio-immuno-biological approach? https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(26)00171-5/fulltext?rss=yes Neoadjuvant radiotherapy has an established role in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer, improving the curability of the disease. Multiple randomized trials have showcased equal efficacy and tolerance between short-course radiotherapy (scRT) and long course chemo-radiotherapy (lcCRT). In the latest update of the RAPIDO randomized trial, patients treated with standard lcCRT displayed better locoregional control, despite the fact that total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT)/scRT was associated with higher pathological complete response (pCR) rates and lower incidence of metastases.
